Epson announces “breakthrough for the photo production market” with SL-D800 replacement

Features of the Epson SureLab SL-D1000

The Epson SureLab SL-D1000 is a small printer, with an increased print speed and a longer printer life of 400K 10×15 prints, compared to its predecessor the SL-D800. Epson has called this latest printer a “game changer”.

Two-sided Printing and High Print Volumes

With the new printer comes the introduction of two-sided printing, higher print volumes than the predecessor, as well as larger ‘RIPS’ bags for less frequent ink changes (25% more ink).

The D1000 supports all the existing features of previous SureLab printers; and with the addition of duplex printing, enables the ability to do PhotoBooks.
