More Control. More Profit.

With the Epson SureLab D3000, time saved becomes an asset, while photographic print quality becomes your

greatest competitive advantage. Now is the opportunity to take control of your photographic printing, while bringing

your photography and business to the next level.

Imagine printing archival quality photographs your clients will cherish for generations, while achieving unmatched

color accuracy, shadow-to-highlight detail, clarity and sharpness. You can accomplish all this, in-house, on your

schedule, without lab fees or delays — even during those busy holiday seasons.

Even more remarkable is the cost savings you’ll enjoy on every print. In most cases, you’ll significantly reduce your

cost-per-print, while providing far superior quality than you get from the lab — all on your schedule.

Keeping your workflow simple, we’ve made SureLab fully compatible with virtually any Microsoft® Windows® based

application by providing standard Epson Professional Photographic printer drivers. This allows SureLab to print directly

from the most popular photographic applications, from Adobe® Photoshop® and Lightroom® to Darkroom® software.

One Roll up to 12" Plus an Additional Roll up to 8" Wide

extended service programs, you can cover your SureLab up to five years in total.

Just imagine the competitive advantages — greater control over your workflow, extraordinary print quality,

increased productivity and profitability, and more satisfied customers. SureLab just makes good business sense.

6 Colors

Epson UltraChrome® D6 Ink

For greater reliability and high image quality, the SureLab D3000 is designed to exclusively use the Epson

UltraChrome D6 Ink cartridges2. Utilizing six individual colors, Epson UltraChrome D6 Ink technology produces

prints with a level of clarity and sharpness that appears almost three-dimensional. Developed specifically for the

SureLab D3000, Epson UltraChrome D6 Ink technology redefines the future of photo lab printing.

Extreme Color Gamut

Versus traditional silver-halide chemical-based photo labs,
Epson UltraChrome D6 Ink technology produces prints
with significantly better color, resulting in more accurate
prints worthy of the latest digital camera technologies.

Six High-capacity 700 ml Ink Cartridges

Designed for serious print production, while maintaining
low cost-per-ml and maintenance costs, Epson UltraChrome
D6 Ink technology utilizes Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black,
Light Cyan and Light Magenta inks to produce both color
and black-and-white prints.

Print Quality Redefined

Words cannot describe the image quality SureLab
is capable of printing. All we can say is that we’ve
never seen a more perfect photographic print from
any other form of printing — even from Epson.

Prints for the Next Generation

You’re capturing the most important memories of
our lives. Now it’s time to start delivering prints that
will last for generations to come3. Just imagine what
this benefit will mean to your customers.

Traditional Chemical-based Photo Lab

Traditional E-Surface Luster Paper

Easier on the Environment

Unlike traditional photo labs, SureLab uses the
latest developments in “dry-lab” technologies,
eliminating harmful chemicals from the photographic
printing environment.

Advanced Print Engine Design

The Epson SureLab D3000 was developed with ease of use in mind. To meet the expectations of the most demanding

printing environments, our engineers developed an all-new printer from the ground up. Virtually all maintenance has

been automated, including print head cleaning, paper feed adjustments, head alignments, and more. And the simple,

compact design allows for virtually any photo printing environment to have a photo lab on-site.

MicroPiezo® VSD Print Head

An all-new print head capable of printing up to
1440 x 1440 dpi, while producing up to six Variable
Sized Droplets (VSD) as small as 1.5 picoliters.
The result? Unmatched print quality and speed.

Automatic Dual-line Back Printing

A world leader in dot matrix technology, Epson
implemented dual dot matrix printers inside
of SureLab, capable of printing up to 2 lines of
40-character text on the back of each print.

Print Speeds

Quite possibly the fastest “dry-lab” in its class, the
SureLab D3000 can produce up to 650 4" x 6" or
260 8" x 10" prints per hour, easily handling the
most demanding printing environments1.

34"

Optional Print Sorter

Automatically sorts up to ten jobs up to 8" x 12".
In addition, you get an extra top-front paper exit,
making it easier to print full-bleed panoramics
up to 12" x 48".

11"

Optional Ten-job Sorter

Weight: 80 lb

Physical dimensions only.
Installation requires more space.

60"

High-capacity Roll Media Feeders

Truly robust roll media handling; accommodates
widths of 4", 5", 6", 8", 10", or 12". And SureLab
automatically dries and de-curls the prints, so
you’re ready for immediate delivery.

No Gloss Differential

Epson UltraChrome D6 Ink technology penetrates the
surface of the paper. The result? Surface gloss levels remain
consistent, regardless of your highlight-to-shadow transitions.

Accurate Color

Epson sets the standard for color-accurate printing,
and SureLab prints follow this high standard. From
brilliant color to complex flesh tones — it’s perfect.

Extreme Clarity

Limited only by your file, SureLab
prints have a level of clarity and
sharpness equal only to real life.

and Service

1 Print speeds are based on print engine speed only. Total throughput times depend upon front-end software, file size, printer resolution, networking, number of pages per print job and frequency of jobs.

2 The SureLab D3000 is designed to use only Epson ink cartridges and not other brands of new or refilled cartridges, or other brands of ink or bulk ink systems. Using Epson cartridges is important for reliable performance
and high image quality. Epson offers voluntary recycling of spent ink cartridges.

3 Print permanence lasting for generations is based on accelerated testing of prints, on specialty media, displayed indoors in a glass frame or stored in an album. Actual print permanence will vary according to media,
printed image, display conditions, light intensity, temperature, humidity and atmospheric conditions. Epson does not guarantee the permanence of prints. For maximum life, prints should be displayed under glass, UV
filter or lamination, or properly stored.
