Epson reengineers SureColor P-Series
October 1, 2019
The OEM introduced reengineered SureColor P-Series wide-format printers for professional photography, proofing and graphic design.
Epson announced new SureColor P-Series printers, the 24-inch SureColor P7570 and 44-inch SureColor P9570. The SureColor P7570 and P9570 feature the all-new UltraChrome PRO12 twelve-colour pigment ink and PrecisionCore MicroTFP printhead technology with dedicated nozzles for both matte and photo black ink to deliver exceptional image quality at speeds up to 2.4 times faster than the previous generation.
“Almost 20 years ago Epson announced the Epson Stylus Pro 9000, our first 44-inch wide-format printer, and since then we’ve been working to perfect wide-format printing technology while simultaneously incorporating customer feedback to deliver the best equipment to our customers,” said Reed Hecht, Senior Product Manager, Professional Imaging, Epson America, Inc. “The SureColor P7570 and P9570 are Epson’s most advanced printers to date. In addition to incorporating customer feedback, Epson also integrated the latest printhead and ink technologies to deliver a printer that will far exceed expectations and could possibly create the highest quality digital inkjet prints to date.”
According to Henry Wilhelm, Director of Research at Wilhelm Imaging Research, the print permanence testing laboratory, Epson’s new printers and inks are currently undergoing comprehensive ten-factor testing with a range of papers and canvas, with both colour prints and black and white prints made using Epson’s Advanced Black and White Mode. “Preliminary data for the Epson 12-colour UltraChrome PRO12 pigment inks in the new SureColor P7570 and P9570 create stunning museum quality prints with WIR Display Permanence Ratings that will equal or exceed the ratings achieved by the current UltraChrome HDX inks of up to 200 years for colour prints and up to 400 years for black and white. Prints framed with UV-absorbing acrylic – and those displayed under LED illumination – will achieve significantly higher ratings,” Wilhelm commented.
Additional features include a sealed roll media door for improved dust control and an integrated LED light to view projects while printing. Versatile media handling supports both roll and cut sheet media and features a new top-loading cut-sheet feeder door and an internal rotary cutter for cutting most photographic and fine art roll-media types. Furthermore, a new customisable user interface featuring a 4.3-inch colour touchscreen control panel and redesigned retractable catch basket will simplify printing and conform to users’ environments, reducing production errors.
