The new PowerDriver R1900 XG8 effectively expands the color gamut by 100K cubic units from the R1800, significantly improving the achievable color output..

What type of ink delivery system is available for the SubliJet R1900 Solution?
Ink for the SubliJet R1900 solution is available in cartridges. Cartridges will be available in multi-packs of four.

Will I be able to use SubliJet IQ cartridges for the Epson R1800 in the Epson R1900?
Due to changes in the OEM firmware, Ink cartridges for the R1800 system will not function in the R1900 system.

What is the major advantage of the PowerDriver R1900 XG8 system?
The PowerDriver R1900 XG8 sublimation system is a reliable, fast, and inexpensive printer solution that offers larger paper output sizes, expanded gamut and enhanced black ink performance. The resulting color output enhances the ability to produce highly detailed and realistic photo-quality images -- particularly when reproducing skin tones and monochromatic images.

What paper sizes does the Epson R1900 support?
The Epson R1900 printer can print up to Super B size paper (13” x 19”) as well as roll paper up to 13-inches wide.

For new or discontinued platform users that require the additional ink set matrix to hit more detailed photographic images, achieve better red and orange output, and flesh tones should also consider this printer solution.
