Epson has introduced the P800, a 17-inch version of its new SureColor line of photo printers. The 13-inch P600 was introduced to the North American market last October.

Like the P600, the P800 employs an Epson's MicroPiezo AMC printhead to deliver its new UltraChrome HD eight-color pigment inks. And also like the P600, it boasts deeper blacks for monochrome printing and automatic switching between photo and matte black ink.

Larry Kaufman, Epson product manager, added, "The SureColor P800 redefines the 17-inch photographic printing market, providing robust photo, fine art and canvas media handling capabilities, all focused on delivering stunning exhibition-quality prints that stand the test of time."

HIGHLIGHTS

Highlights of the new 17-inch printer include:

  • UltraChrome HD ink with improved black density and print permanence
  • Advanced black-and-white print mode for professional-level neutral or toned black-and-white prints
  • Nine 80 ml ink cartridges with auto-switching photo and matte black ink
  • Print on fine art and roll papers and create panoramas over 10 feet long; front-in and front-out paper path for media and poster board up to 1.5mm thick and optional rear-mounted 2 or 3.0-inch core roll feeders
  • USB 2.0, Ethernet, Wireless N, WiFi Direct, Apple AirPrint and Google Cloud Print support

PRICE, AVAILABILITY

Epson said the P800 will ship in June priced at $1,295 with a $199.95 optional roll paper adapter. A single UltraChrome 80 ml ink cartridge will cost $59.95.
