Cementing Epson's position at the pinnacle of photo printing, the Epson Stylus Photo R2880 has been recognized as the best photo printer in Europe by the European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA).

The EISA judging panel was particularly impressed with the exceptional print quality produced by the Epson Stylus Photo R2880, especially when combined with Epson photo papers. The panel commented, "A3+ prints from the Epson Stylus R2880 are extremely detailed, and even the subtlest colour changes are rendered smoothly and gradually. Because three different black inks can be used – light black, light-light black and photo black – tonal gradation is perfect in black and white prints."

Barbara Kuhr, Head of Strategic Marketing at Epson Europe, added: "Epson prides itself on being at the forefront of photo printing innovation. The Epson Stylus R2880 features UltraChrome K3 Ink with Vivid Magenta, a revolutionary pigment ink technology that delivers the highest quality available in professional inkjet printing. We are delighted that the EISA has commended Epson for this innovative technology with this prestigious award and we will continue to innovate and develop new products to push photo printing quality even further."
