Epson SureColor SC-P9500 Large Format Printer

Q: Does the printer come with color calibration tools?

Yes, the SC-P9500 Spectro (Spectrophotometer) is equipped with integrated color calibration tools, encompassing a high-performance built-in densitometer and a color calibration utility, ensuring consistent and accurate color reproduction across prints and different media types.

The Epson SureColor SC-P9500 Large Format Printer features Epson’s patented PrecisionCore Micro TFP head technology with a 2400x1200dpi resolution. Unlike competing mechanisms that are based on heat, the Epson print head uses an electro-mechanical movement that is kinder to the ink chemistry for better imaging and more stable output. While consuming less power and less ink, it is also more accurate, flexible, and durable.

Micro-fine drop-on-demand nozzles enable precise dot shaping, placement, and volume/density control for more consistent results with less waste. Variable-size Droplet Technology (VSDT) enables superior half-tones and optimized color density with minimum ink consumption. An advanced LUT (Look-Up Table) and a 12-cartridge ink supply system drive twelve active channels to enhance the color range. Dedicated matte/photo black ink lines ensure that a wide variety of media types achieve the maximum possible dynamic range, and there is no extra ink waste. Self-monitoring, alignment, and cleaning systems ensure a predictable, consistent, and reliable output with minimal user maintenance.

Printer Ink Technology

Epson developed the UltraChrome Pro12 SC-P9500 Ink, a new aqueous (water-based) ink, for use in the wide-format printers of the SureColor P9500 series. It is an improvement over the previous UltraChrome K3 ink. Furthermore, it offers an extended color gamut thanks to the addition of an extra black (grey) ink, for a total of four blacks and eight colors. The ink’s all-pigment formulation produces prints with a high Dmax and quick drying time that are water and scratch-resistant. The prints produced by the printer are well-known for their lightfastness, with a projected durability of up to 60 years. Furthermore, the use of ink subtanks helps guarantee that the printer can keep printing even when the ink runs out, ensuring uninterrupted performance.

High Yield Ink Cartridges

The printer also has large-capacity Epson Ink Cartridges and new sub-tasks to ensure that you do not run out of ink during a print job. The fabric retractable output bin allows for printing on cut sheets, while the optional Auto-Take-Up system enables continuous roll-to-roll production. The printer can also be equipped with an optional HDD for efficient workgroup operation. It can directly print postscript files and raster files without the need for a PC.

Working in Perfect Harmony

Epson SureColor SC-P9500: A premium professional photo printer for photographers, proofreaders, and designers, meeting wide-format needs with exceptional quality. The printer should be able to produce prints with exceptionally brilliant and accurate color. Additionally, it boasts high resolution and fine details, attributed to the use of UltraChrome® PRO12 Ink and a PrecisionCore® printhead. It has a big benefit over your previous generation of printers in that it can print up to four times faster.

Creative Freedom & Consistent Results

The Epson SC P9500 uses a PrecisionCore MicroTFP printhead with variable-sized droplet technology for high-resolution prints and superior color density. It can print on a variety of roll- and sheet-based media. The use of UltraChrome® Pro12 all-pigment aqueous ink ensures that the prints produced by the printer are of excellent quality. Moreover, they exhibit consistency, predictability, and durability, making them reliable for a variety of printing needs.

Advanced Inkjet Media Feeding Technology

The Epson SC-P9500 printer is a floor-standing wide-format printer designed to support a wide range of Inkjet Media types. These include bond paper, photo paper, transparent film, translucent backlit, and synthetic media, providing versatility for various printing needs. The printer features a 44″ wide carriage and allows the use of roll media by mounting it on a spindle with tension adjustment. Additionally, it is equipped with a high-speed auto-cutter capable of cutting most stocks.

The printer comes with one spindle capable of supporting rolls with either 2″ or 3″ cores. For environments that demand high-volume printing with various media types, additional spindles can be acquired separately. The printer has an integrated barcoding system that helps track individual roll consumption and enables rapid exchange with automatic reconfiguration for different media types. It also supports sheet media and features a straight-through paper path for solid board. Additionally, it comes with a retractable output basket, and users have the option to add an Auto Take-Up system for roll-to-roll printing and offline/automated post-production. The printer can edge-to-edge print on both sheet and roll media, and it can print full borderless on roll stocks.

The advanced media-feeding technology in the SureColor series of printers helps guarantee high-quality prints. This technology ensures constant linearity and precision at rapid output rates, contributing to the overall performance of the printer. Regardless of the weight of the media roll, the usage of inductive rollers helps to ensure correct and consistent media feeding. It also helps to maintain constant tension and parallelism to lessen the possibility of velocity variations and skewing, which can influence print quality. This advanced media feeding system is designed to enhance the productivity and efficiency of printing operations. It can be especially helpful in settings where high-volume printing is necessary.
