Stunning Black-and-White

Color is magic, but black-and-white prints are masterful. Many accomplished photographers feel the allure of working in black-and-white, but have resisted the attraction because conventional inkjet technology simply can’t deliver high-quality results. It’s easy to understand why. A printer that’s applying only one shade of black can produce only a very limited tonal range. Shadows block up, highlights wash out, and grays get muddy. The results more closely resemble the output from a copy machine than a fine-art print. That’s why the Epson Stylus® Photo R2880 has three-level black technology, which creates exceptional gray balance and outstanding tonal range across the print.

Using the Epson R2880, photographers can produce stunning neutral or toned black-and-white prints that rival darkroom prints, but with greater control and consistency. This explains why digital black-and-white printing has become so popular with photographers eager to go back to this artistic presentation, but without the mess of a darkroom; plus, you have the ability to enhance a print to perfection and then reproduce the same finished work of art over and over. 

Epson’s exclusive Advanced Black-and-White Photo Mode, with its ability to control whether you get a neutral or toned black-and-white print, ensures precision control—allowing you to take your creativity further to explore the many facets of your black-and-white photograph.
