The Epson SureColor SC-P8000 STD is a large format colour inkjet printer able to print up to A0 size. The large size of the printer means it will be best suited to medium to large premises wanting to bring large scale colour printing in-house. The results of the printer are impressive, with it producing vivid, vibrant colour prints and black and white images in exceptional detail without smudging. High yield inks reduce printer downtime and nozzle check technology ensures the printer produces consistently good results. When setting up the printer, be prepared to have several people on hand as it is a heavy machine to move and expect the process to take a long time.
