Targeted at photographers, fine art printers and packaging proofers, the Epson SC-P7500 (24in wide) and SC-P9500 (44in wide) use a 12-colour inkset that includes green, orange and violet in addition to the standard cyan, magenta and yellow colours. Matt Black and Photo Black also have their dedicated channels so no need for black ink switching and black & white output is further embellished by a Black Enhance Overcoat which reduces light diffusion to keep image contrast high and ensure deep blacks stay deep. The units’ internal buffer and sub tank means ink cartridges can be replaced as soon as the current print job has finished. The printers use Epson’s latest generation PrecisionCore Micro TFP print head that uses up to 800 nozzles per colour and have a resolution of 300dpi. The head is capable of a precision performance and gives perfectly round and consistent droplets ensuring that fine detail and delicate textures are realistically captured with perfect tonal gradation. In terms of media choice there’s true creative freedom and both printers support fine art papers, photo papers, canvasses and more. The 4.3in touch screen is clear to understand and visible from a distance while Epson’s Media Installer provides the option of quick media registration.
