Wednesday, 23 November 2022 Epson launches new SureLab D560 minilab for kiosks, studios, retail and events The SureLab D560 is portable, weighing 7kg, and has compact dimensions of 299 x 350 x 154 cm. The D560 outputs 4”x6” and 3.5”x5” photo sizes in gloss or lustre and supports double-sided printing. The D560 holds 100 sheets of media, is particularly easy to use and is fast to print with 250pph for 4”x6” images. The company says that the D560 is equipped with and leverages the same enhanced 6-channel MicroPiezo printhead and vivid UltraChrome D6r-S dye-based ink technology as the SureLab D1060. This means the printer can accurately reproduce subtle tones in portrait photos with smooth transitions and crisp, sharp details. If prints are done on Epson genuine photo media, they are water, smudge and fade-resistant. SureLab D560’s ink system uses 70ml bottles that are cost-effective to purchase and compact to store. The D560 supports Epson Cloud Solution PORT giving users access to historical and real-time data from the printer. Users can monitor costs more closely while ensuring optimal asset utilisation. Performance data is summarised in a simple and easy-to-understand interface. SureLab OrderController, Epson’s software used for managing and controlling print orders, comes with the printer and gives users system flexibility and the ability to manage orders from different inputs. OrderController also allows the quick and easy production of sets of photos from digital image files via pre-sets and includes advanced image correction features, including red eye removal. The D560 printer has a 100,000 print life cycle and can be stacked up to three units high when required. It also features all-front access for easy ink refill, media loading and maintenance tank change. Key features of the SureLab D560 include: Ink System – UltraChrome D6r-S ink in 70ml bottles delivers better prints with finer gradation and a wider colour gamut while reducing cost and waste. Flexible Operation – Integrated output tray. An integrated LCD panel for direct control and an upgraded driver for desktop management (Windows & Mac OS compatible).

The optional SureLab OrderController software offers additional flexibility for efficient management and control of print orders. Flexible Integration – Low 18W power consumption and only 1.4W when in sleep. Connect easily to the printer over Wi-Fi, Ethernet or USB using a redesigned printer driver for Windows and Mac Small Footprint – Portable and compact in size (299 x 350 x 154 cm) Versatile Output – Designed to use Epson media, available in single/double-sided sheet configurations with gloss or lustre finishes.
