  I think there are much fewer negatives than positives, so I will address them first. To explore more, consider having a peep at: blackfriday.
  
  1. You've to perform an ink exchange to switch your dark black ink from photo-black to flat black. For a short time Epson offered the Stylus Pro 4000 which had 8 inks including both the photo black and the matte black, there is no need to trade black black inks in the event that you changed from photo paper to pad paper. This new era however employs 8 inks but has added a light black ink instead of offering the 2 types of dark black inks. The excess of light light black ink has enable the printer to create finer gradations of tone and finer detail in-the highlight region, but needing to change out the dark black inks to optimize printing on photo paper as opposed to matte paper is an inconvenience and a sad waste of money.
  
  2. You can find quirks with the LCD menu on the printer. One in particular, pops up usually having a concept that says Power Cleaning? Y or N. Having been motivated lots of people select yes to this prompt, thus doing an electric washing period which wastes a good bit of maintenance and ink tank volume. I have had a number of customers really upset about that situation and I hope Epson will fix it quickly in a firmware resolve.
  
  3. Black ink thickness not improved when using matte black ink on documents. The newest K3 inks made a giant step forward in giving richer blacks with all the photo-black ink on image area forms of forms. The K3 matte black ink on papers appears to not have improved black thickness, and some users report that matte black is less heavy on matte papers compared to the past UCM matte black ink. I find the blacks to become the about the same density just like the inks, but had wished for more from the matte black K3 tattoo.
  
  4. Epson created the new 220 ml ink cartridges to suit inside the ink bays, unlike the past 220 ml cartridges that stuck out to the place where you are able to perhaps not shut the cover. You can close the cover with the new cartridges but the new cartridges are condensed and periodically arrive dripping. This has led us to check always cartridges for leaks before sending them out. If you're using the new 220 ml cartridges, check always them for leaks the moment you get them.
  
  5. A final negative, while not affecting the quality of the printer, was that for pretty much 7 months of a year ago, dealers like myself, that focus largely about the Epson printer line, had no Epson printers to sell. Epson stopped supplying the previous versions, announced the new printers, and was unable to deliver the new era of printer for what seemed an eternity. Our belt was tightened higher than a few notches.
  
  Thats it on the concerns, so heres a few of the good highlights:
  
  1. The printer is approximately 2.5 times faster than the past generation, but Epson hasnt sacrificed quality for speed. Epson developed the new design with a print head that is more than two times as big as the previous print head, thereby more than doubling the rate.
  
  2. Time consuming and complicated information nozzle checks and print head alignments have been streamlined and are now actually completed immediately, at the contact of an option.
  
  3. Metamerism and bronzing, which were significant difficulties with the last UCM inks, have now been practically eliminated. If you dont know what these are, consider yourself fortunate and know that you wont ask them to with the new units and K3 inks.
  
  4. Greater, thicker greens when utilizing photo-black on photo surface forms. This shows a substantial improvement over previous designs and inks.
  
  5. A brand new high level black and white setting in the driver that provides stunning black and white prints.
  
  6. Increased color gamut- perhaps not earth shattering improvement like in black density but still a good addition to the color scheme.
  
  For me, the advantages far outweigh the negatives and this new generation of Epson Stylus Pro printers will require their rightful place in Epsons reputation award-winning, superior importance and remarkable quality, significant format inkjet printers.
