Epson's new Stylus Photo 2200 is, as you might guess from the name, a new printer especially designed for photo use. It uses seven-color, pigment-based, archival UltraChrome inks, and can print images at faster speeds with a larger color gamut than the previous generation.
The Stylus Photo 2200 offers a resolution of up to 2880 x 1440 dpi using ultra small four-picoliter droplets, which produce an equivalent dot size to a two-picoliter dye-based droplet. It has a large printable area up to 13 by 44 inches. Eliminating left and right margins, the printer also features 4, 8.3, and 13 inche edge-to-edge borderless printing on roll paper.
The UltraChrome ink has faster printing and drying times so the Stylus Photo 2200 can print an 8x10 photo on glossy paper in four minutes. That's three times faster than the Epson Stylus Photo 2000P. What's more, its prints can last up to 80 years on Epson Watercolor Paper and black and white prints lasting up to 100 years on various fine art papers.
iSay - I love to hear about the new advances but always wonder about the science these people use to determine the longevity claims. How do they do that?
