Fine art and exhibition-quality prints are the specialty of Epson's SureColor P10000 Production Edition Printer, which is designed for professional applications where the ability to produce detailed large-format prints up to 44" wide is required. Equipped with a newly developed 2.6"-wide PrecisionCore MicroTFP printhead, the P10000 is able to reach resolutions of up to 2400 x 1200 dpi with 800 nozzles per color. Using PrecisionDot Screening Technology and a nine-color ink set, images produced will feature smooth gradations and fine detail. On top of this, the P10000 can work quickly when needed, including the ability to create a 16 x 20" print in just one minute 47 seconds.
The next generation UltraChrome PRO pigment-based ink set delivers an outstanding gamut using nine colors, including four grays for superb gradations and black & white prints. The Photo Black ink has been made 1.5x denser for improved contrast and richer images and the redesigned printhead features dedicated nozzles for both the matte and photo blacks for instant switching. To ensure accurate ink placement and smooth operation, the P10000 features auto head maintenance.
