New photo lab from Epson

Epson is to launch a new photolab at the Photography Show, which takes place at the NEC from 1-4th March 2014. The SureLab D7 Studio can be used either on the shop floor as a self-service order terminal or as a production microlab behind-the-counter. 

It includes a self-service, touch screen order terminal and up to two printers. A further three extensions can be added, increasing the number of printers linked to the terminal, up to a total of eight. These can be used simultaneously, all controlled by the 22-inch multi-touch screen. 

Its LED light panel can be tailored to match customers’ store colour themes and its multi-touch panel can display digital advertising of the customers’ choice. It accepts memory cards, USB sticks, CD/DVD and has Bluetooth connectivity, and can take images from smartphones/tablets as well as services such as Facebook.

The D700 print units use an Epson micropiezo inkjet printhead with Epson’s UltraChrome D6-S ink and can print to paper-based matte, glossy and lustre media. It takes roll media, from 10cm up to 21cm and can print lengths up to 100cm, from a 65m roll. Epson says that it will produce an 8x12ins print in 30 seconds or around 360 4x6ins prints per hour. Resolution ranges from 720x360dpi in its fastest mode up to 1440x720dpi for the highest quality. 

Martin Johns, market development manager, Epson UK, says: “The SureLab D7 Studio offers a tailored, scalable solution for photo bureaux, copyshops, retail businesses and on-site photographers who want to expand their business by offering products and services to drive new revenue streams, while further benefitting from low cost-per-print.”

You can license the articles from Printing and Manufacturing Journal to reproduce in other publications. I generally charge around £150 per article but I’m open to discussing this for each title, particularly for publishers that want to use multiple stories. I can provide high res versions of images for print publications.

I’m used to working with overseas publishers and am registered for VAT with the UK’s HMRC tax authority but obviously won’t charge VAT to companies outside the UK. You can find further details and a licensing form from this page, or just contact me directly here.
