Introduction

Seiko Epson corporation known to most of us as Epson, is an absolute monster in the printing industry. Originally started in 1943 as watch making company Epson evolved as time went by into a corporation that manufactures printers, cartridges, projectors, televisions and even robots etcetera (the list is endless). Recently, the Japanese company have decided to extend their market even further by attacking the wide format printing industry for science and engineering fields. Their aim is to get at least 20 percent of the wide format printing market in the next few years.

SureColor SC-T7000, SC-T5000 and SC-T3000 Printers

Allow me to introduce the SureColor SC-T7000 (pictured below), SC-T5000 and SC-T3000 printers, that has been specifically designed to meet the needs of architects. The piano looking-like printing devices will print on coated and non-coated material printing up to 1118 mm, 914 mm and 640 mm wide prints in sharp as a “dagger” quality.

Epson’s Business account manager all the way from South Africa Vernon Mellors has commented by saying “Since the 90’s the focus point has been almost exclusively on the photographic, fine art and commercial printing. The company has never built a product that’s been geared specifically for engineering, architecture and construction space, as the timing wasn’t right”

Mellors was being honest about Epson’s approach to the market and continued to say “Three years ago, we took a look at this specialised sector again and realised that we had the technology to build on the feedback we received in our research and create a printing solution specifically tailored to the needs of these professionals”

This is a great move by Epson and every company or corporation should follow their example by maximising their resources and taking maximum advantage of the available research in order to keep expanding.

Epson SureColor SC-T7000 Printer Review

It is quite obvious that the SC-T7000 will hold a substantially high price tag and the price of £3,540 is not surprising at all. Considering the size, quality and purpose of the printer this is actually a low price as there are many normal laserjets that cost a thousand or two.

Now that we have the price out of the way, we can concentrate on the functionality and quality. The SC-T7000 is easy to set up and to navigate as you would expect from any Epson device. The printer’s operations are carried out from the front, allowing the user to be in control at all times. With the maximum size of 44 inch prints you could easily print a couple of prints and have your house redecorated with your favourite wallpapers. That’s how cool this printer actually is. The unique Epson Micro Piezo will ensure high graphics of 2880 x 1440 dpi and will allow smooth printings for architectural designs, posters and presentations.
