Epson has launched its new SureColor SC-P800 A2+ photo printer in Australia. Successor to the popular Stylus Pro 3880, the new large-format printer is aimed at professional photographers and advanced amateurs and is expected to retail here for $2195.

The P800 incorporates the same print head and LUT technology as the Stylus Pro 3880 and uses Epson’s new Ultrachrome HD inkset, which was released with the smaller SC-P600 A3+ earlier this year. The P800 uses large 80ml cartridges to reduce cost per print. Epson says the nine-colour inkset offers a large colour gamut with the highest Dmax of any comparable A2 printer.

The SC-P800 supports WiFi, Apple Airprint, and Google Cloud Print connectivity and includes a 2.7-inch colour touch panel with gesture control. There's a large multi-sheet rear tray as well as a new front paper path for fine art media. An optional Roll Paper unit can be attached giving support for rolls in widths from 13” to 17” to enable long panoramic prints and operation with a range of speciality media stocks.
 
The printer ships with ColorBase2, for colour calibration with a range of common spectrometers, and Epson Print Layout which works with photo editing software including Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom and Nikon ViewNX-i for fast and flexible formatting. Graphics and photos can be formatted for printing either as a single image or as a compound image using a range of pre-designed templates and custom settings. Colour can also be adjusted to suit different presentation styles and there is an Advanced Black and White mode for professional work.

The SureColor SC-P800 also offers soft proofing, supports custom media registration and incorporates a Gallery Wrap mode with a range of edge settings to suit images that need to be frame mounted. It is available now in Australia and will be available in New Zealand in August.
