Superior black & white and colour photo printing

Professional photographic printing up to A3

The Epson Stylus Photo R2400 is your ideal entry into professional photo printing up to A3+. With our unique Epson UltraChrome K3 ink set you get long lasting true black & white as well as perfect colour quality for professional photographs, fine art work and proofs.

Vivid colour and true black & white in one

Thanks to our innovative Epson UltraChrome K3 inks, with 3 black inks, the Epson Stylus Photo R2400 gives you an affordable inkjet solution you can rely on for perfect colour as well as true black & white photographic prints. With long lasting results on a wide range of media you have the quality, consistency and flexibility to present your images however you want to.

The third black ink – light light black - gives you excellent greyscale performance and smoother tonal gradation for the ultimate in high quality black & white printing. And the use of the Advanced Black & White mode in the printer driver enables you to precisely control the tone of your monochrome images.

For colour printing, the wide colour gamut ensures that even the most vibrant saturated reds, greens and blues can be printed. The lighter inks mean that the Epson Stylus Photo R2400 gives you unrivalled reproduction of skin tones and can be used for perfect printing of watercolours, pastels and crayons. You also get remarkably fine detail in the highlight and shadow areas of an image with even, neutral gradation from the lightest to the darkest areas.

Everything in one

The Epson Stylus Photo R2400 is the digital printing solution for enlarging both your monochrome as well as colour images on a wide range of media. With results that rival silver halide, you can step away from the traditional darkroom.

Unleash your creativity

With our wide range of media you have the flexibility to achieve the same professional results in new and exciting ways. There are no limits to your creative output with the Epson Stylus Photo R2400, from glossy photographs through to borderless A3+ exhibition posters.

Short term and long term stability

Epson UltraChrome K3 inks provide extremely high water, gas and light resistance so that your printed work will last for up to 150 years* - making them suitable for you to sell or use in long term displays. What's more, Epson UltraChrome K3 inks also give you superior short term colour stability so that you can take accurate colour measurements soon after printing. On suitable proofing media the colours will not visibly change after 30 minutes, making the Epson Stylus Photo R2400 a great printer for proofing.

Review first impressions Epson R2400

Upside:

"..Epson's new UltraChromeK3 ink set incorporates the traditional six photo primaries--CMYK plus light cyan and magenta--and supplements them with Light Black and Light Light Black inks, otherwise known to mere mortals as light gray and medium gray.

Nothing revolutionary there, and irritatingly, you still have to physically swap the matte- and photo-black cartridges. But Epson claims to have resolved several notable problems it had with the SP2200's blacks on glossy paper, including a gloss deficit, bronzing, metamerism (colors appearing different under different light sources), and the tendency of all the inks to show scratches. Unlike the R800 and R1800, which apply a gloss overcoat for consistency, the R2400's UltraChromeK3 droplets are encapsulated in the glossy resin. The new inks are higher density than the old--Epson says they achieve a maximum density (Dmax) of 2.4D compared to 2.2D for the old inks.

The company has also reworked the screening algorithms for black-and-white printing and, recognizing that great black-and-white has some color, created an advanced black-and-white print mode in the driver that allows you to tone your images with yellow, light-magenta, and light-cyan inks. Oh, yeah: it's supposedly a lot faster, too, and claims all its de rigueur, awe-inspiring, as-yet-unpublished longevity data from Wilhelm Imaging..."

Downside:

"..By purposefully integrating the monochrome-challenged Ultrachrome ink set into the R1800 and excluding the R1800's red and blue inks from the UltrachromeK3 set, Epson seems to be creating an artificial distinction between the two: positioning one as a large-gamut color printer and the other as a tonally adept black-and-white device..."
