SureColor SC-P700 and SC-P900
Prints as good as it looks
Dramatic images deserve a new dimension
Introducing Epson’s SureColor SC-P700 and SC-P900 colour printers. Two advanced new printing solutions that combine high-quality output and the deepest black tones with an aesthetic product design.
Offering extremely high D-Max (deepest black) print values, the printers also deliver sharper details and smoother gradations when compared with previous SureColor models1. Each printer is redefining footprint-to-print-size ratio, as both models are the first high performance A2+ and A3+ printers with such compact dimensions and lower weights2.
With a newly-designed and optional automated roll paper unit for the SC-P900, Epson brings you versatile, professional-quality printing encased in a beautifully understated design.
Enhanced blacks and blues for depth and detail
Our intense Matte Black, Photo Black and Violet colour tones bring realistic, sharp definition to your most dramatic black and white or colour images.
When using glossy paper, you’ll be able to bring out richer, deeper blacks with a high contrast without the need for a special, dedicated ink cartridge. This is thanks to the Black Enhanced Overcoat (which uses ink from Light Grey cartridge as an overcoat), Carbon Black and Gloss Optimiser features. And by expanding the blue gamut, these SureColor printers demonstrate a lightness of touch and photo-realistic quality with even the brightest shades of blue.
Carbon black
Our Black Enhance Overcoat flattens the printed surface using Light Grey inks in dark areas. With glossy media this increases the density of black and offers extra contrast and tonality, while simultaneously reducing bronzing. In addition, the new Carbon Black Mode uses only 1.5pl ink droplets which allows you to produce even deeper blacks.
True blue
With a new violet ink, Epson has expanded the colour gamut for those all­important blue tones. From a beautifully gradated sky to the folds in a navy fabric, whatever the shot you’re working on, what you see on your screen you will see on your print3.
A printer that blends in, prints that don’t
You’ve done all the hard work by capturing the perfect moment, now getting your desired print finish is simple and straightforward. From advanced touchscreen GUI panel for easy setting, to an effortless paper feed system, both the SC-P700 and SC-P900 make producing your prints effortless and easy.
Freedom to choose your format
In addition to printing on A2+ or A3+ sheets, these printers are built to accommodate your creativity. With the SC-P700 having an integrated 13 inch spindle-less roll paper unit with automated paper feed, allows you to break free of these confines and bring your panoramas to life. The SC-P900 has an optional roll paper unit supporting media up to 17 inches wide.
Better interaction, more information
With its new 4.3 inch LCD optical-touch panel, selecting settings is simple. The screen can also be customised to display only the information that’s relevant to you. For those who prefer the professional touch, there’s the option of using Print Information Sheets to analyse your previous six prints, helping you to achieve the perfect print result. Plus, you can operate the panel even when wearing protective gloves.
Freedom from black ink swapping
Not only does the new printhead give the you the deepest blacks, it takes away the need to swap Matte Black and Photo Black (MK and PK) inks with the addition of an extra print channel – 10 channels for 10 inks.
Easy paper feeding
Choose the paper your artwork deserves. For these devices, Epson’s newly designed Auto Sheet Feeder delivers the highest reliability and comfort with its hassle­free Fine Art paper feed. The media is inserted centrally and supported on either side to ensure an accurate, straight print path.
Versatile software solutions
Enjoy ease of use with Epson’s range of leading software and integrations, including Epson Media Setup for fast and reliable media management, as well as Epson Connect for Google Cloud print and Wi-Fi direct printing.
Compact form, sleek design
The SC-P700 and SC-P900 manage to combine outstanding functionality with an unobtrusive form-factor. They’re equally suitable at home, in a professional photographic studio or a home/office workspace. In standby-mode, the devices fit in seamlessly with your studio or working environment and look more like they reproduce high-fidelity sound than high­quality prints.
Function as well as form
The innovative design that sets these printers apart isn’t simply for aesthetics. With no open areas in standby mode, it’s protected from dirt and dust, which increases reliability, efficiency and product life. When printing, the path is illuminated by LED lights, so you have a direct view of the media surface while your print is being produced.
Elegantly compact
Both of the new models take up as little space as possible, leaving you more room to spread out your work. Although it’s an A2+ printer, the SC-P900 is the same size you’d expect from an A3 machine. And, weighing just 15kg, it’s half the weight of competing products4. The SC-P700 is an A3+ printer that only takes up the space you’d expect of an A4 device and weighs just 13kg.
Feature-rich functionality for professional performance
From easy media profile setting to printing from smart devices in high quality, the new SC-P700 and SC-P900 printers bring out the best in your images. If the camera has captured it, Epson will bring it out.
