EPSON Stylus Pro 4400/4450/4800/4880/4880CRevision CProduct Description Product Description 101.1 Product DescriptionThe Stylus Pro 4400/4450/4800/4880/4880C is a large-format printer based on the Stylus Pro 4000. The Stylus Pro 4800/4880/4880C is the exclusive model for 8-color inks and the Stylus Pro 4400/4450 is the exclusive model for 4-color inks. The following table shows the major changes from the Stylus Pro 4000.1.1.1 Comparison with Stylus Pro 4000 Note * : PK=Photo Black, MK=Matte Black, LK=Light Black, LLK=Light Light Black, C=Cyan, M=Magenta, LC=Light Cyan, LM=Light Magenta, Y=Yellow, VM=Vivid Magenta, VLM=Vivid Light Magenta Table 1-1.

(Lock bush design is changed according to the added PG setting.) 6 Harness connection for CR Motor Connected by connectors Connected by soldering Harnesses are made easier to connect/disconnect. 7 Connection between Printhead and Main BoardAdded a relay board between “Printhead, Harness”and the MAIN Board.The Printhead is connected to the MAIN Board by “Head, Harness” only.An additional relay board prevents head drive waveform being deteriorated when transmitting data form the MAIN Board to the Printhead. 8 Material for roll paper guide roller Rubber (elastomer) Plastic (POM) Reduce roller marks traced when roll paper passes through the roller. 9 Cooling fan Added a cooling fan --- Cools the MAIN Board and the Power Supply Board, and ventilates the board container.
