Overview
A pigment inkjet head paired with a roll feed and an Auto Sheet Feeder lets this Epson SureColor print blueprints, line drawings and posters up to the full roll width. Jobs are set up on a color touchscreen and sent over Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct or USB.
Fast large drawings and wireless printing from tablets and phones make it a practical in-house plotter for design and architecture offices. Ink must be genuine Epson, and the machine needs real floor space plus a stand.
Who it's for
Studios that send drawings out to a print shop several times a week can bring that work in house with it. People with only standard page sizes to print will pay in floor space for width they never use.
Pros and cons
- Prints from roll or sheet feeder
- Pigment ink for durable prints
- Higher capacity ink cartridges
- Wireless printing from phones and tablets
- Genuine Epson cartridges only
- Large and heavy floor footprint
- Speed figure excludes data processing time
- Spec sheet lists conflicting media sizes
Performance notes
Print time depends on more than the engine: file size, resolution, ink coverage and the network all add to total throughput, as Epson's own footnote states. Pigment inks dry on top of the paper, which gives durable lines on plain media. The higher capacity cartridges mean fewer swaps during long plan sets, though part of the first set goes to priming.
