Product at a glance:
- Epson MicroPiezo print heads reproduce the finest of detail and consistent colour utilising Variable Sized Droplets up to a maximum resolution of 1440x1440dpi.
- UltraChrome D6 - six-colour (CMYKLcLm) photo ink-set achieves a wide colour gamut that exceeds that of silver halide, yielding prints that are vivid and lifelike with excellent black density.
- Epson image processing technology incorporates advanced new algorithms to guarantee precise dot placement which preserves high image quality across various print modes.
- The SL-D3000 is optimised to ensure fast throughput up to 650 (6 x 4) prints per hour, while delivering superior image quality that will have your clients coming back for more.
- The power-efficient SL-D3000 uses significantly less energy than a wet lab, and does not need a water supply, air filter or chemicals, reducing impact on the environment and the total cost of ownership.
- Users do not need any special skills to operate the SL-D3000. The optional Epson Order Controller software, which includes basic photo retouching, makes setting up jobs easy. The SL-D3000 begins printing quickly without the need to warm-up chemicals, and can automatically move finished prints to an optional A4 job sorter. The only regular maintenance required is consumables replacement.
- Front panel operation and compact design reduces the need for a large working space, freeing up valuable real estate for additional services.
- High capacity (700ml) ink cartridges and automatic dual roll configuration reduces the frequency of changing over consumables, allowing the SL-D3000 to print unattended for longer.
- Epson can provide seamless integration with other Epson branded photographic products such as; Large Format Printers for photo enlargements and canvas printing and Disc publishing for burn and printing of CD’s and DVD’s.
- Epson strives to exceed the expectations of our customers by providing the highest level of professional advice and technical support. The SL-D3000 is backed by a team of fully trained technicians and workflow specialists ensuring you get the most out of your investment.
