EPSON INTRODUCES NEW ARCHIVAL PIGMENTED INK WITH 200-YEAR LIFE AND A NEW 13-INCH WIDE 2000P PRINTER TO USE THESE NEW INKS
Quoting from Epson's May 22nd press release: Through Epson's new development of MicroCrystal Encapsulation technology, pigment crystals are coated in uniquely engineered resin polymer to ensure even particle size and distribution for a color gamut and gloss that far exceeds other pigment solutions and rivals dye. The resin polymer also enhances durability by pulling the pigment deeper into media crevices rather than resting on top of the surface and provides an extra sealant coating on the surface, which resists scratching. As a result, the EPSON Stylus Photo 2000P delivers prints that outperform Lightjet and Pegasus prints in lightfastness and media flexibility and outperform Iris prints in color, lightfastness and media flexibility.
"Professionals and amateurs alike care about preserving memories," said Fabia Ochoa, product manager, photographic reproduction printers, Epson. "With this unprecedented combination of both image quality and longevity, Epson is changing everything. We are no longer claiming to have output that is as good as a photograph. We now deliver output that is better than a photograph." For more info, go to:
EPSON UNVEILS NEW HIGH-END PRINTERS: 7000 / 7500 / 9500
The new 24" wide 7000 printer is set up to use Epson's standard, non-archival inks, however the 7500 and 9500 will use Epson's new pigment-based inks (mentioned above) delivering a color gamut that rivals dye inks. Epson's new pigmented Archival Ink technology also gives users the ability to create heirloom-quality prints on a wider range of media than standard dye-based ink. Epson's new line of wide-format media includes glossy photo paper, matte, posterboard, semi-glossy paper, canvas, water color papers, DuPont Tyvek, static cling, DuPont/EPSON proofing media and many more.

NEW - EPSON COMPATIBLE INK CARTRIDGES AT 1/2 THE PRICE
Let's face it, not everything you print needs to be archival. Promotional mailers, office reports and client proofs rarely need to last for decades -- they just need to be done as inexpensively as possible. You still want the same quality and trouble-free printing; you just need it CHEAP!
With our new InkJetArt Solutions(TM) pre-filled Epson compatible ink cartridges, you get just that -- 100% of the quality and Epson compatibility that you'd expect, but at less than one-half the price (average cartridge price is 55% less than Epson's suggested retail price)! Imagine buying a black ink cartridge for the Epson 1200 for only $7.95 -- that's less than 1/3 Epson's suggested retail price of $24.95! For complete pricing and ordering information on InkJetArt Solutions(TM) ink cartridges, go to:
InkJetArt Solutions(TM) inks meet or exceed OEM specifications. The inks, cartridges and vacuum sealed packaging are all done in a ISO 9001 certified plant (soon to be ISO 9000). Cartridge testing has shown a greater than 99.5% reliability rating. These inks and cartridges are warranted for one year and come with a 30-day money back guarantee or replacement policy.
Here's what photographer James Kay had to say about InkJetArt Solutions(TM) ink cartridges: "I was printing several 30-page portfolio books on my Epson 1200 to give to my reps. My images are known for their saturated colors. I was concerned about color quality and consistency when switching to a compatible ink. If anything, the prints from these new cartridges were even a bit more saturated than the ones from the Epson cartridges."
