Like the older prints by Epson such as the Epson Stylus Pro 9800 and Epson Stylus Pro 7800, these new printers - the Epson 11880, Epson 9880, and Epson 7880 printers have 8-channel printheads. However, these new inkjet printers incorporate the new MicoPiezo AMC Printhead technology. These new heads are quite remarkable in that they have a new ink repelling coating technology which reduces head clogging and by simplifying the need for cleaning these new printheads are especially useful for dusty or linty papers, such as fine art papers or canvas. The printheads also offer more advanced Active Meniscus Control (AMC). Active Meniscus Control is intended to significantly improve dot regularity and dot placement. Although Active Meniscus Control technology was used in prior printer models (this is the third generation), the performance in the Epson 11880 is reported to be stunningly more than 100 times as accurate when compared to a model such as the Epson 9800.
