Does this printer produce archival quality images acceptable for museums?

Jessie it does "if', and the "if" is important. The printer is just one step in producing an archival print. The paper you print on is another step in producing a museum quality print. but to answer your question directly, yes this printer will produce archival prints if you do the rest.

It produces exceptional enlarged prints on archival paper. Black and whites are great but not exceptional.The r3000 is an excellent black and white printer.

yes, the images are excellent quality. I use epson paper specifically watercolor radiant for proofing and Velvet for finished product. As with any printing you must check your colors carefully, if in doubt I lighten images. I digital "paint" photos. The paper is good enough to draw on the ink which is what I do. Make sure you use the correct side of the paper!!

I think the two items that predicate the quality and longevity of a print are the paper and the ink. I can tell you that on the ink cartridge package for this printer it says "fade resistant" "and vivid color". I have no idea what a museum would want. The ink cartridge item # is T1598 for black. All colors are in the "159" series. You can now look it up on the Epson website, or call their customer service. I hope that helps.

I don't think so. I think you want something more along the lines of the Epson Stylus Pro 11880

I have not used it for photos yet but overall, this printer is amazing. I love it. I do plan to use it for photos and I am not concerned about it. It has great print quality.

Yes it is, that is the operating system I used it on. I converted over 3500 slides and film strip images with only a few problems due to warped slides.

I am not 100% certain but I wouldn't think so. It has quite a number of markings on the front "Value Disc" etc. so even if you could print on it, it wouldn't look very nice. If they want something they can print on, they might try Optical Quantum or Verbatim brand.

That's a tough question really because there are a number of factors involved. I can't say for certain because I don't exclusively print photos. The ink has lasted quite a while with me printing all my power point lectures for college in color. A couple of my professors are picture happy. I have printed only a few actual photos though.

It Is definitely NOT a printer meant for photo printing. Also a lot depends on paper quality... I print property fliers on basic copy paper and the print is very crisp... The pictures are good but far from high quality... It is a great all around printer

I was not as happy with the photo quality as I was with my previous Lanier. The Lanier gave acceptable photo quality for not being a photo printer, where the Zerox photos in my opinion was less than acceptable. I will add I am a power user of both Mac and PC using both mostly for photography and have dedicated photo printers so I may be comparing it unfairly. As a document printer with color graphics it's great but that's what I purchased this printer for.

yes, it prints very nice photos. Using photo paper and photo settings improves their quality.

I have scanned photos from old sepia, black and white, and color. All have come through with clarity and true to original print.

Yes. It does a good KOB scanning documents for reprint or to email. I'm not sure about photos as I haven't ever tried to scan and reprint those.

NO, but i scan my artwork with the EPSON V370 Flatbed Scanner and print it n the 3880 and the prints are amazing.

I am not sure they are labelled as archival, but I love to store my photos in them. I have not had any problems.

I printed a PDF file on photo paper, the results were excellent. I use the printer for pictures; I am very impressed with the quality. Not knowing what illustration and materials you are looking to print, it is hard to say this would be the printer for you.

NO - the value is that it is fairly reliable and I can print 13X19 Photos with ease. Jim T.

I use it for printing museum exhibition quality prints, both color and black and white. You can see the individual pores on faces under magnification of the prints, not to mention the individual "peach fuzz" hairs on a child's or woman's cheeks. That's how good it is. It goes far beyond the resolution you seem to require.

Yes it is. I have only used it to scan old photos and have had no problems. I know this machine can do so much more.

I have a Canon MG5220 inkjet printer and the image quality is fine. However, if you're looking for stunning photo-quality prints, I'd suggest picking up actual photo paper (my preference is glossy).
