Design

With measurements of 1864 x 667 x 1218 mm, the Epson SC-P8000 STD is a large device. On the top is a 6.3 cm LCD screen for ease of monitoring and managing the printer operations. Ten colours of ink are stored in cartridges and the printer takes a paper roll in a wide variety of media. Connection is achieved via a USB or network interface. Print resolution is 2880 x 1440 dpi.

Advantages

The Epson SureColor SCP8000 STD achieves a very high level of colour accuracy with 93% Pantone certified colours. An advanced black and white mode produces rich blacks and smooth tones. High yield inks keep running costs low and are better for the environment. Thanks to the Epson TFP PrecisionCore printhead technology and automated nozzle check function, results are consistent and there is no need to purchase expensive additional technology to achieve it. Prints are fade resistant, lasting up to 60 years on photo glossy paper.

Disadvantages

The Epson SureColor SCP8000STD is a large device which may be awkward to place and needs several people to move it. Setup, although straightforward, can be time-consuming.
