Title: 7800 vs 7880
Post by: bellimages on March 12, 2008, 04:43:53 pm

I have an Epson 7800. I'm curious .. what is improved in the new 7800?

The big difference is that the head on the 7880 has a teflon coating. The advantage to this is that there is far less clogging with PK ink on the 7880 machine than on the 7800. The new magenta ink formulation for the 7880 results in a modestly expanded gamut that, as far as printing photos is concerned, isn't relevant 99.999% of the time. The expanded gamut may help you hit a few more PMS reds and pinks.
