Supreme Imaging
The SureColor Prographics range features Epson’s famous Thin Film MicroPiezo head technology with a 2880x1440dpi maximum print resolution. Unlike competing mechanisms that are based on heat, the TFP uses an electro-mechanical movement that is not only kinder to the ink chemistry for better imaging with more stable output, but consumes less power, is more flexible and more durable. Micro-fine drop-on-demand nozzles enable superior dot shaping with reduced overspray, more precise placement and volume/density control. The P5070 features a head with 10 channels that is complemented with an advanced LUT (Look-Up-Table) and a 11 cartridge supply system with automatic Matte / Photo Black switching that optimises the dynamic range on different media types. The printer incorporates VSDT (Variable-size Droplet Technology) that enhances image quality with superior half-tones and optimised colour density while also minimising ink consumption. A special coating on the head works in conjunction with self-monitoring, cleaning, and alignment systems to ensure predictable, consistent and reliable output with minimal user maintenance.
UltraChrome HDX ink is an expansion of Epson’s famous HDR/K3 family and new HD series. Using an aqueous (water based) all-pigment formulation, it produces prints with an unsurpassed colour gamut that dry quickly to become water and scratch resistant. The HDX set features improved Matte and Photo Black formulations that provide an enhanced Dmax for brighter prints with an enhanced tonal range in both B/W and colour. The ink set includes light black ink for improved balance, Vivid Magenta for brighter blues and pinks, Orange for fine facial tones and lighting effects, as well as Green for superior landscape and environmental imaging. It includes a new Yellow ink that provides improved UV resistance for enhanced image stability and at initial startup the printer can be configured with either a Light Light Black ink for flexible photo and fine art work with a 98% PANTONE® coverage or Violet for specialist proofing and packaging work with a 99% coverage.***
The SureColor P range is colorimetric calibrated during assembly to ensure that colour proofs, photographic and fine–art prints from different printers of the same model remain totally consistent. The ink features a colour constancy level of less than DeltaE 1.0 so that prints remain visually consistent when viewed under different lights and lighting conditions. An optional spectrophotometer is available to suit all models in the range. Co-developed with X-Rite®, the SpectroProofer provides extreme measurement accuracy and when driven with an appropriate RIP it enables precision proofing as well as the automation of colour management into operational workflows. The ILS 30 SpectroProofer mounts directly to the printer and selectable UV filtering (ISO M0, M2 & M1).
Flexible and Easy to Operate
