canvases, photo paper and more. They’re very much workhorse devices, boasting a solid, proven build. No wonder Epson is claiming they set a new benchmark; part of this being down to the SC-P7500 and SC-P9500’s deployment of a 12 colour Ultrachrome Pro ink set with K3 technology. Inks, also available direct from the DPS Touch ‘n’ go: A 4.3inch touch panel offers a range of configurable options for users. Talk to the DPS Group team at The Photography Show to find out more!
In addition to all of the above, the SC-P7500 and its bigger brother in the SC-P9500 are almost completely sealed to prevent any possible intrusion of dust via front and back covers. That said, there’s the ability for operators to still access the print head, if needed, for maintenance purposes. A quicker change of media is likewise promised, thanks to a new auto feed mechanism, while a newly installed 4.3-inch touch screen further improves usability this time around. This screen’s background colour and layout can additionally be customised by the user, if so desired. “In short, whichever of the new printers you choose it all adds up to exciting new business potential for our customers,” confirms DPS Group MD Maneesh Patel. “Don’t forget that we
are also able to offer you the complete solution – in supplying inks and media too. Let us help make 2020 your year!” Interested parties are strongly advised to book a demo with the DPS Group in their Kent showroom – and, of course, make your way to stand F71 at The Photography Show this March.
