Epson SureColor SC-P5300 17” C11CL14301A1 Professional Photo & Fine Art Printer
Produce Exhibition Prints, Panoramic Photography and Giclée Artwork More Efficiently
The Epson SureColor SC-P5300 17-inch printer is built for photographers, artists and print studios that have outgrown desktop photo printers but don’t need a large floor-standing production machine.
Designed for regular print production, it combines the exceptional image quality of Epson’s UltraChrome Pro10 ink system with integrated roll media support and high-capacity 200ml ink cartridges. The result is a printer that not only produces stunning exhibition-quality work, but does so more efficiently and at a lower running cost.
Whether you’re creating limited-edition giclée prints, panoramic landscape photography, gallery displays or client portfolios, the SC-P5300 is designed to keep pace with demanding creative workflows.
What Sets It Apart
200ml UltraChrome Pro10 Ink Cartridges
Larger ink capacities reduce cartridge changes, minimise downtime and significantly lowers the overall cost per print, compared with other A2 models, such as the SC-P900, and Canon Pro-1100.
Integrated Roll Paper System
Produce panoramic photographs, exhibition graphics and longer print runs without the limitations of cut-sheet media.
Automatic Roll Media Cutter
Streamlines production and improves workflow efficiency for regular print output. NB: The SC-P900 roll unit, does not benefit from a cutter
10-Colour Pigment Ink Technology
Delivers exceptional colour accuracy, smooth tonal transitions and archival print permanence.
Dedicated Violet Ink
Expands the printable colour gamut, improving reproduction of blue and purple tones often found in landscapes, artwork and fashion photography.
Professional Black-and-White Printing
Two dedicated grey inks help produce smooth monochrome gradations with excellent shadow detail and reduced grain.
5 year coverplus warranty
Add the optional extended warranty, and receive onsite parts, and labour, along with print heads throughout the term, a unique to Epson offer. Subject to fair use of course, but undoubtedly industry leading offering.
