• Choice of FLOW technology (GTF/XTF) or classic vacuum (GT)
• Roll Media Option available for true roll-to-roll capability
• Available in 4- 6- or 8-channel models that include support for CMYK plus White, Varnish and light Cyan and light Magenta inks

The Arizona 1300 Series – Bring it On!

Building on the Arizona 1300 series, the first series in the Arizona family that delivered an instant-on LED-UV curing system, the updated Arizona 1300 series now also offers FLOW technology.

Originally introduced in the Arizona 2300 series, FLOW technology eliminated the need for first masking and taping the flatbed table before starting most jobs, thereby significantly reducing the set-up time required before being able to print.

With the implementation of FLOW technology, we are now offering nine different models in the Arizona 1300 series family.

The smaller 4’x8′ models will offer a choice of FLOW or the classic vacuum system while the larger 8’x10′ models will only offer FLOW technology. Both formats will support a Roll Media Option.

The Arizona 1300 enables you to produce an exceptional range of applications. Available with your choice of 4, 6 or 8 ink channels you can also start with a 4 channel Arizona 1340 or 6 channel Arizona 1360 and later upgrade as your business needs evolve by adding 2 additional ink channels – up to a maximum of 8. Besides CMYK, these extra ink channels support our brightest white ink ever and an optically clear varnish. The 8 channel Arizona 1380 adds additional support for light cyan and light magenta for enhanced image quality.

Do more!
Featuring a true flatbed architecture for high quality, versatile printing on rigid substrates up to 2 inches thick, the stationary table design of the Arizona allows printing onto irregular shaped items without requiring any special jig. Due to the extreme table flatness, the Arizona image sharpness is consistent everywhere on the table surface. Coupled with the excellent dot placement accuracy this means we can print a drop of ink on top of a drop of ink and produce texture. The PRISMAelevate XL software (formerly Touchstone) was developed exactly to take advantage of this feature and makes file preparation and printing of texture extremely easy.

Adding a Roll Media Option further expands the application range allowing you at the push of a button to switch from flatbed printing to printing on roll media up to 86 inches wide.

Do it smarter!
The PRISMAguide XL software (formerly Arizona Xpert) turns complex job setup into a quick, effective process. The self-learning capability within PRISMAguide XL can learn your steps to setup multi-layered, complex jobs – even double-sided jobs or jobs with transparency. Then, you can save the steps as a recipe and later apply that recipe to any similar jobs.

Do it now!
The instant-on capability of the LED-UV curing system means you don’t have to spend any additional time waiting for lamps to warm up. Simply walk up and begin printing.

FLOW technology does away with zones and masking and taping for most jobs allowing you to place substrates anywhere on the table and begin printing.

Rigid media handling is also benefited by pneumatic registration pins on three sides of each 4’x 8’ print area that allow you to position a board accurately and repeatedly on the flatbed table and quickly print double-sided jobs with ease.

With the Roll Media Option, switching between roll and rigid print jobs can be done at the push of a button with no extra tables to set-up or store away.

Time spent doing maintenance is also minimized thanks to the Automated Maintenance System for hands-free printhead maintenance that can selectively restore nozzle functionality in seconds.

This design changes everything

Epson professional photo and graphics printers built
around our extraordinary PrecisionCore® MicroTFP print
chip technology set the benchmark for high-end print
quality. Now Epson brings that same printhead technology
to high-speed production, photo and graphic-art printing
— with an equally extraordinary design. The SureColor®
P-Series Production Printers’ compact, all-front-operation
design allows them to fit where other printers don’t. Their
innovative six-color aqueous-pigment ink set delivers an
incredibly wide color gamut. And they pair simple, carefree
operation with new levels of versatility and media flexibility
— plus a dual-roll configuration — to help shops do more
with less. And all with low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Add it all up, and this is not just a one-of-a-kind printer
lineup: It’s the new number-one option for shops and
fleets.

Elevator Speech: Why the SureColor P-Series Production Printers for your
production fleet or print shop?
Epson introduces a production printer series with a revolutionary design and all-front operation that can go where other
printers can’t. The new SureColor P-Series Production Printers combine Epson’s latest PrecisionCore printhead technology
for outstanding quality and sharpness with an innovative six-color aqueous-pigment ink set. The result: an incredibly
wide color gamut and extraordinarily fast photo-quality printing. Get smooth transitions and gradations, too, thanks to a
groundbreaking dedicated gray ink. P-Series Production Printers can hold two media types at once, yet still have a slim profile
and remarkably small footprint — and their ability to handle a variety of print jobs makes them a true business-builder. With
their high performance and low TCO, this is a solution that works hard and delivers big.

The Fantastic Four
Four emphasis points likely to resonate:
Groundbreaking – and hardworking — patented design: With all-front operation and an impossibly slim profile, the
SureColor P-Series Production Printers fit where other printers can’t — including against a wall or back-to-back.
Do more with less: Tap new revenue streams, thanks to the versatile P-Series Production Printers’ ability to handle an
unexpectedly wide variety of file types and print media — even 1.5 mm poster board.
Ultra-fast speeds: The P8570D, for instance, delivers the fastest photo-quality throughput in its class1
— fastest of any
6-color aqueous pigment ink 44” printer on the market.1
Benchmark-setting quality: Thanks to revolutionary PrecisionCore printhead technology — the world’s most advanced
printing technology — just as in our pro photo and graphics printers. PrecisionCore delivers high image quality and sharpness
with unparalleled ink placement accuracy.

Key Benefits
Impressive gamut, smooth gradation: An innovative
six-ink set includes a dedicated gray for smooth
gradients and transitions, neutral grayscale, and reduced
metamerism, as well as photo and matte black for
printing on a wide range of glossy and matte media. The
result: an extraordinarily wide color gamut. The P8570D
has the widest color gamut of any 6-color aqueous
pigment ink 44” printer on the market.2
Get outputs that
rival comparable eight-ink printers.
Low TCO: The P-Series Production Printers’
PrecisionCore printhead is built to last the life of the printer. Its design helps reduce failures and minimize maintenance, which
can result in few interventions and higher production. Plus, available 1.6-liter ink packs for the P8570D enable extra-long runs
without interruption to help you keep business rolling. All on top of a surprisingly low initial cost.
They’re ready to go: With a one-piece, easy-to-install design, they come off the pallet and can be up and running in less
than 30 minutes. And WiFi and the latest Adobe Embedded Print Engine are built in.
UltraChrome PRO6 Ink technology: Epson’s aqueous-based pigment inks don’t run when wet, like some dye-based inks.
They’re water-, smudge-, and fade-resistant for durable, archival, long-lasting prints.
End-to-end print solution: With Adobe Embedded Print Engine built in, accessories like a print stacker, and options like a
960-GB SSD drive, P-Series Production Printers are one hardworking production print solution.
Auto-loading, auto-switching media capabilities: Minimizing user interventions for high-efficiency production.
Designed for reliability: Epson PrecisionCore printers are engineered to be workhorses that deliver day in and day out —
with very low maintenance.
Consistency you can count on: No quality degradation or color shift from the beginning of the run to the end.

Print shop owners/print service providers
Who: Printers of décor art and specialty posters, point-of-purchase displays, signage and graphics, and other kinds of indoor
graphics. Also volume photo fulfillment and high-volume photo production, including B2B and direct-to-consumer photo and
poster production. Can be running large-format prints as well as rigid poster board. May run from a single unit up to a large
fleet. They are skeptical of aqueous-ink printers, based on a reputation for nozzles clogging and higher cost per print. (The
new P-Series and PrecisionCore printheads, with Epson UltraChrome PRO6 pigment inks, are designed to avoid clogging
and deliver low cost per print.)
Challenges they face: Ensuring the printer they choose delivers customer-satisfying quality at fast speeds and a low cost
per print to maximize revenue per order and jobs completed. Choosing a versatile printer that can support a variety of jobs,
expanding revenue streams — as well as a reliable one with high uptime to keep revenue coming in and deliver customer
orders on time.

Print-shop owners/print service providers, continued
What they’re looking for in a production printer: The ability to do more with less. Excellent, production-quality output
with an impressive color gamut and smooth gradation for customer-pleasing reproduction of photography, graphics and
marketing materials. Fast speed, because volume = income for a shop. Versatility, to handle a variety of jobs with the same
machine — expanding revenue streams and allowing greater productivity with limited resources. Small footprint to take up
less space in a busy, crowded shop and allow for more machines and greater output. Low TCO, to deliver high volume while
cutting expense. Low maintenance, so the printer can get back up and running — and producing — quickly and simply. That
includes ease of putting a new printer into service. An end-to-end solution that offers everything in a simple package. Concern
for sustainability may also be a factor.
Print production supervisors in commercial photo labs
Who: Supervisors in labs producing large-format prints and specialty photo-print products from consumers’ photos —
delivering everyday quality vs. the exacting reproduction professional photographers demand — and serving high volumes of
individual customers. May be producing canvas prints as well as prints on other media.
Challenges they face: Ensuring the printers they choose deliver customer-satisfying quality at a low cost per print and fast
speeds to maximize revenue per order and jobs completed. Minimizing media waste, especially with expensive media like
canvas, and making sure printers work flawlessly with all media, including third-party options. Choosing printers that allow
quick switches between media for ever-changing customer orders, as well as versatile ones to fill a variety of requirements.
Ensuring simple, fast manageability and serviceability of fleets is also a concern.
What they’re looking for in a production printer: Excellent consumer-quality output, with a sufficiently wide color gamut,
smooth gradation, and fine detail for customer-pleasing reproduction of treasured photos. Fast speed, to fulfill more orders
and deliver maximum revenue per hour. Versatility, to deliver more kinds of products from the same machine, increasing
income. Small footprint, to allow for more machines and maximum productivity per square foot. Low TCO, to help keep prices
and lab competitive. Low maintenance, to keep production moving, and ease of putting a printer into service so it can quickly
begin paying for itself. Concern for sustainability may also be a factor.
