The Epson SureColor SC-P9000 STD is a large format colour inkjet printer ideal for medium to large businesses which have a large quantity of professional photographs and fine art prints to produce. The 11 inks produce colours of exceptional accuracy and images are faithfully reproduced with vivid details. Black and white images are also rendered in superb quality with smooth, rich black tones. This printer utilises Epson technologies such as the PrecisionCore printhead, which ensures consistent results, and lightfast inks which will last for up to 60 years. The large size of this printer does make it awkward to place and moving it is likely to require at least three people. The initial setup is slow, but once up and running this proves to be a straightforward, reliable device.

The lightfast inks ensure the results are long-lasting, proving fade-resistant for up to 80 years. High yield ink cartridges reduce the environmental impact and save money.
