Epson SureColor SC-P8500DM C11CJ51301A1 | 44″ Dual-Roll Multifunction Printer & CIS Scanner
The Epson SureColor SC-P8500DM C11CJ51301A1 is compact despite its wide print width, a highly capable 44-inch dual-roll printer and integrated CIS scanner designed for businesses that demand precision, versatility, and outstanding colour output. Ideal for print service providers, copy shops, corporate design studios, and architectural firms, this model combines professional photo quality with rapid technical printing and seamless scanning in one elegant, space-saving solution.
Professional Colour with UltraChrome PRO6 Ink
The UltraChrome PRO6 pigment ink set delivers exceptional colour performance from just six inks: Photo Black, Matte Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Grey.
This intelligent formulation achieves 8-colour quality from only six cartridges, offering smoother tonal transitions, enhanced shadow detail, and improved neutrality in monochrome prints.
The inclusion of Grey ink provides more natural gradients, making the SC-P8500DM particularly suited to architectural rendering, photographic work, and fine-art reproduction.
Dual-Roll Productivity
- Designed for professional workflow efficiency, the SC-P8500DM features a dual-roll system that allows automatic media switching or continuous roll-to-roll production.Effectively, Roll2 becomes an inbuilt take-up reel.
- You can load two different paper types or sizes simultaneously — ideal for alternating between CAD drawings and photo prints without manual intervention.
- Both rolls support up to 44″ wide media, with intelligent auto-loading and built-in sensors that simplify operation.
Integrated CIS Scanner
- The integrated 44-inch CIS scanner brings powerful multifunction capability to the SC-P8500DM, enabling high-quality scan-to-file and copy workflows directly from the printer’s touchscreen.
- With precise RGB sensors and wrinkle-reduction technology, even folded or aged documents are captured cleanly and accurately.
- Users can scan to network folders, USB drives, encrypted SSD, or FTP servers, ensuring flexibility for both office and production environments.
Speed, Security & Workflow Integration
- With an embedded Adobe® PostScript® 3 engine, the SC-P8500DM efficiently processes complex PDF and photographic files without relying on a host computer.
- Advanced IT and data security features — including IPSec, SSL/TLS, and 802.1x authentication — ensure compliance with modern corporate network standards.
- Epson’s 960GB encrypted SSD and NFC card authentication add further peace of mind for multi-user environments.
Compact, Elegant Design
Despite its dual-roll and scanning capabilities, the SC-P8500DM maintains an ultra-compact footprint, designed to fit flush against walls for seamless integration into office, retail, or production spaces.
Its flat-top surface doubles as a workspace for proofing prints or handling originals, while its low noise output ensures it remains unobtrusive even in quiet environments.
Plot it take
The team at Plot it rate the SC-P8500DM as the perfect all-round choice for professionals who need quick high-end photo and technical printing in one robust package.
With grey ink replacing the red found in the SC-T5700DM, this model is tailored for photo, fine-art, and architectural users who benefit from smoother tonal control and outstanding shadow depth.
Dual-roll functionality streamlines production, while the integrated scanner adds versatile functionality for scanning, copying, and archiving.
For businesses that require the same functionality but prefer red ink for stronger graphics and signage output, the Epson SC-T5700DM makes an excellent alternative. With its wider 44″ print width a diverse set of papers and medias are available.
