Los Alamitos, CA—Epson America is now shipping the Epson SureColor P8570D 44-inch dual roll printer. Leveraging an entirely new space-saving design, the photo and graphics printer is the first model in the new line of high-volume production-class SureColor P wide-format printers for photo fulfillment, retail photo labs, poster as well as graphic art production.
“As demand for production photo printing and quick fulfilment in the market continues to grow, print service providers are looking for cost-effective solutions that not only provide fast speeds but also flexibility and versatility,” said Marc Aguilera, product manager, Professional Imaging, Epson America.
“The new SureColor P8570D is designed for production printing environments that require high performance, quality and reliability in a small footprint. With the new line of production-class SureColor P-series printers, Epson continues to support our customers with solutions they can rely on for long-term success.”
Epson SureColor P8570D Features
To meet high-volume photo production needs, the SureColor P8570D employs a flattop design with complete front operation; simple automatic roll loading; and an integrated dual roll/take-up reel. It also features Epson’s 2.64-inch PrecisionCore MicroTFP printhead technology.
Moreover, it uses six-color UltraChrome Pro6 ink with gray. As a result, Epson says the printer produces “vibrant, rich, colorful prints with gradations and neutral black-and-white images that rival comparable eight-color printers.” It also prints on a range of media, including photo, fine art, canvas and rigid poster board up to 1.5mm thick.
For dual-roll productivity, the printer automatically switches between two media types or sizes. Conversely, operators can use the second roll as a take-up reel for roll-to-roll production.
Furthermore, a configurable 4.3-inch touchscreen control panel allows for simple operation; automated routine maintenance; and user self-service. In addition, the printer does not require assembly and can get printing in 30 minutes. SuperSpeed USB 3.0, Gigabit Ethernet or Wi-Fi (2.4GHz/5GHz) options also fit workflows.
What’s more, the printer has enhanced security features and IT tools. It boasts more than 28 enhanced security features for office or remote office locations. They include hardware encryption; IC card options for user control and tracking; as well as IT management tools.
Bundled Benefits
Epson also bundles the printer with an Adobe Embedded print engine as a standard option. It natively processes JPG, TIFF, PDF and PostScript files. In addition, the included Epson Software Suite and Epson Cloud Solution Port lets users remotely manage and monitor printer fleets from laptops or smart devices.
The Epson SureColor P8570D 44-inch dual-roll model sells for $6,445 and is now available. Epson will also release other 24- and 44-inch SureColor P-series production-class models, including options for 1.6L ink packs, in late 2022 and early 2023.
