Epson UltraChrome K3 ink, the third Epson UltraChrome ink to be introduced by Epson, provides

the photography market with the ultimate ink set. Continuing the legacy of award-winning innovation

with a completely reformulated ink set, Epson UltraChrome K3 provides all the features that fine

art photographers demand including a wider color gamut, superior black-and-white technology,

as well as professional-level durability and lightfastness qualities.

Epson UltraChrome K3 is an 8-color, 9-cartridge system boasting Epson’s highest density pigment

inks. This means Epson UltraChrome K3 color inks (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Light Cyan and Light

Magenta) will produce a wider color gamut, rivaling and surpassing those of dye-based inks. It

also features three levels of black (Black, Light Black and Light Light Black) to produce unprecedented

black-and-white images that are both neutral and perfectly toned (warm, cool, or sepia). Epson

UltraChrome K3 has two interchangeable black inks, which allow the user to achieve the highest

levels of black density depending on the media type. Use Matte Black to achieve professional

results on matte and fine art media and Photo Black for glossy 

and semi-glossy media.

There are also other professional features.

Epson engineers increased the gloss 

level of Epson UltraChrome K3 ink to

dramatically reduce gloss differential. With three levels of black,

metamerism levels are below that of dye-based inks. Unsurpassed linearity means ICC profiles are

easier to build. And, Epson UltraChrome K3 inks are even more durable, with water and scratch

resistance that’s better than ever. In addition, they offer a lightfastness rating of up to 108 years

years for color, and over 200 years for black-and-white prints.*
