Epson launches Surecolor P5000 photo printer

Epson has announced the launch of the new Epson SureColor P5000 17’’ wide-format Inkjet printer in India. With the latest imaging technologies, the SureColor P5000 will replace the Epson Stylus Pro 4900. The new image printer is priced at Rs 1,69,999.

The 17" Epson SureColor P5000 offers a refined design for enhanced performance and reliability. It features the PrecisionCore TFP printhead and Epson Precision Dot screening technologies. It delivers a wider contrast ratio and improved resin encapsulation technology for superior gloss uniformity and optically clearer, sharper images.

The SureColor P5000 can support two different ink configurations. The SureColor P5000 Standard and Designer editions leverage Light Black ink for twice the overall print permanence, smooth and neutral tonal transitions and support of the Epson Advanced Black and White print mode, ideal for photography, fine art and graphic design applications.

The device includes a power-driven roll media spindle, ideal for producing panoramas and roll printing up to 100-feet, and an internal high-speed single pass rotary cutter. The high-capacity cassette can hold up to 100 sheets of premium paper for high productivity printing on sheets from 8”x10” up to 17”x22”. In addition, the SureColor P5000 features a front feed straight path for delicate fine art sheet media, including poster board, up to 1.5mm thick. Auto-switching between roll and cassette sheet feeding allow both sources to be loaded at the same time.
