(Printer dependant) The results are an unrivalled black and white capability that could exceed anything seen before from a colour printer, as well as great colour images.
So how is this made possible?
The science behind Epson UltraChrome HD pigment ink ensures you get superior black and white and colour photographs under any light conditions. Until now, light colour inks have been used to produce grey mid-tones and highlights. UltraChrome HD ink significantly improves overall grey balance, eliminating colour casts with the introduction of - Light Light Black - which produces denser blacks minus colour twists or tonal jumps. Three black tones achieve a more stable and accurate grey balance, which also allow for more accurate colour control due to the smaller amount of colour ink used. This means there is minimum retouching so colours stay faithful to the original image. The high density pigments of Epson UltraChrome HD ink help to produce prints with an extremely wide colour gamut, so you can reproduce the colours seen when you captured the image. This is also a resin-coated pigment ink that achieves superb longevity and durability, smooth colour control and virtually no metamerism, ideal to use with fine art media and speciality paper. A further innovation of UltraChrome HD ink is that the standard of black and white printing is raised, so skin tones come alive while shadows reveal subtleties lost on other printers. The three black inks and low saturation inks - such as Light Cyan and Light Magenta - allow for subtle colour toning. Professional photographers producing black and white images will appreciate this, but anyone using Ultrachrome HD ink will see the benefit.
PowerChrome ink uses InkTec's own ®Nano Coating Technology to prevent discoloration for a long period of UV light exposure. Incorporating double density pigments, PowerChrome produces prints with an extremely wide colour gamut allowing the reproduction of colours as originally envisioned at the point of capture. With Photo Black, Light Black, Matte Black, the ink can perfectly reproduce the rich impression of a black and white photo.

Furthermore, recognizing that the Epson Piezo head, which uses the electric vibration to disperse the ink, may not perform well if foam exists in the ink, PowerChrome is designed to be free of the foam from the selection of the raw materials in the blending and manufacturing.

Due to technical difficulties, many ink manufacturers do not offer pigment ink or only offer the pigment black inks, but InkTec's PowerChrome is available in all colours based on their outstanding dispersing technology and excellent colour presentation. This includes the photo colours of red, blue and other pigment colours that increase colour quality of the graphics. If you want to print an image that will be kept for long time, PowerChrome ink is recommended as it offers high durability and lightfastness for matt paper, glossy paper as well as the other papers. PowerChrome ink is the answer for high priced printers or professional looking pictures.

Ultrachrome Printer Ink

Epson UltraChrome ink is one of the most important advances made in printing. Achieving superb color expression on a variety of media is made possible by an increase of the density of pigment content in the ink, which also provides for a much wider range of media support. Even with greater pigment density, each particle has an extremely smooth and uniform resin coating, ensuring superbly sharp image reproduction on both specialty media and plain paper along with marked improvements in light and water resistance.
