Epson SureColor SC-P8500DM Printer - 44in C11CJ51301A1

The SureColor SC-P8500DM redefines what’s possible from a 6-colour printer. Featuring Epson’s UltraChrome Pro6 pigment inkset—including a new grey ink—it delivers smooth tonal gradation and rich detail previously reserved for 8-colour systems. Ideal for photo printing, GIS applications, and high-impact POS visuals, the printer ensures that every image is vibrant, precise, and sharp.

At the heart of this powerhouse is Epson’s 2.64-inch PrecisionCore MicroTFP printhead, capable of speeds up to 18m²/hr in photo quality. Combined with Variable Sized Droplet Technology and Nozzle Verification, each print maintains professional accuracy with a minimum line width of just 0.02 mm and ±0.1% line accuracy. Whether you're creating detailed maps, promotional posters, or archival imagery, expect consistently high-quality output at scale.

Despite its advanced capabilities, the SC-P8500DM is refreshingly simple to use. With automatic roll switching and a drop-in media loading system, even first-time users can print with confidence. This printer strikes the ideal balance between creative control and operational simplicity.

In professional environments where security is non-negotiable, the SC-P8500DM is built to protect every document. Its integrated CIS scanner allows encrypted scans to be saved directly to secure servers or encrypted SSDs, ensuring sensitive data stays confidential throughout the workflow.

The device supports robust IT and user-level security protocols, including AES-256 encryption, SNMP v3, LDAP, SSL/TLS, and WPA3. Additional tools like PIN-code release, NFC card authentication, image overwrite, and panel admin mode give organisations granular control over document access and printer usage.

For businesses managing multiple devices or locations, the SC-P8500DM is supported by Epson Cloud Solution PORT and Epson Device Admin, allowing remote fleet monitoring, usage tracking, and maintenance alerts in real time.

Whether you're handling confidential architectural plans, government maps, or corporate marketing assets, this printer keeps your information secure from scan to print.

The SC-P8500DM streamlines even the most complex workflows. Its dual-roll system with auto-switching enables fast transitions between media types or sizes, while the automatic take-up reel supports continuous roll-to-roll production for posters or photo prints. These features make it ideal for high-volume, multi-format print environments.

With a built-in 36-inch CIS scanner and a fast scan speed of up to 10 inches per second in mono, the scanner also simplifies batch digitisation. Scans can be previewed directly from the large touchscreen and sent instantly to cloud storage, USB, or network folders—reducing time and manual errors.

Connectivity is seamless across office ecosystems, thanks to support for Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and mobile/cloud printing. Direct USB printing and Bluetooth compatibility make the SC-P8500DM incredibly flexible in any setting.

It’s also backed by a suite of Epson software solutions, including Print Automate, Print Layout, and Edge Dashboard—making everything from poster layout to performance analytics more efficient than ever.

Despite its industrial-grade capabilities, the SC-P8500DM is designed with workspace aesthetics in mind. It features a clean, compact profile with a flat top and shallow depth, allowing it to blend seamlessly into modern studios, offices, or retail environments. The unobtrusive design also offers a practical benefit—documents can be reviewed or stacked directly on top, saving valuable space.

At 1,848 mm wide and just under a meter high, this printer fits where many high-capacity models won’t. And at 166 kg, it's robust enough to handle demanding output without compromising portability for installation.

Its large, intuitive touchscreen interface simplifies navigation and user training, and automated processes reduce dependency on experienced operators. From the moment it's unboxed, the SC-P8500DM is ready to get to work—pre-loaded with inks, maintenance boxes, and setup tools to ensure minimal downtime.

With optional extras like a roll feed spindle or NFC card reader, you can customise the SC-P8500DM to meet your specific workflow or security needs—all within a beautifully engineered, space-efficient footprint.
