An SQL error is likely coming from the server, not the browser.  They must
have fixed a problem because they work in IE 7 on a PC.

They all worked for me in Safari.

It sounds like a higher load ink (more pigs per weight & volume).  I'd be
more interested in more lightfastness, but there is no hint at that.

I assume from the lack of any hype that the drop sizes are the same as
before.

And I wonder whether there's a return to the 9600 UC magenta 
that was less red biased than the K3 magenta. The German 
Epson pages refer much to proof printing and better magenta 
and blue mixes. Old wine in new bags is something that goes 
along well with magenta. But people that have seen prints 
noticed an improvement in color.

On lightfastness there's a bit of arrogance in the texts as 
if there has been no development anywhere since UC.

The 9880 and smaller models have the same 180 nozzle per 
channel (8 channels) heads the 9800 generation had (no 3800 
black switch though) but improved (nozzle surface is more 
filth repellent etc) so I think it is 3.5 picoliter minimum 
as well. The dithering etc is new and probably resembles the 
3800 output which to my eyes is a heavier use of the minimum 
size droplet and less of the other droplet sizes.

The 11880 (64") has a new head with 360 nozzles per channel, 
9 channels in total, PK and MK both active which is a plus. 
I doubt the droplet size is changed, it would influence the 
speed if they used it on a machine that wide and they can 
not afford any speed loss in competition with the thermo heads.

Dadurch steigt die maximale Druckgeschwindigkeit erheblich, 
ohne die Tropfengr\ufffd\ufffde zu \ufffdndern. is part of the text there.

I am also concerned about o movement on lightfastness, since I really  
do think there is still a lot of room for improvement here. Oh well.

Cheers,
