World-Famous Image Quality
The Epson STYLUS COLOR 480 features the world-famous image quality of our PerfectPicture Imaging System. With the fine detail of Ultra Micro Dot printing and 4-colour QuickDry inks, you get rich, natural colour that brings images to life. What's more, our exclusive Variable-sized Droplet technology ensures superb print quality and optimum speed.
Variable-sized Droplet technology allows the printer to regulate dot size to suit the area of the images being printed - applying larger dots for quick coverage in areas of solid colour and smaller dots in areas of gradation and fine detail. The result is superb image quality at the best possible speed.
