With the EPSON SureLab D3000, time saved becomes an asset, while photographic print quality becomes your greatest competitive advantage. Now is the opportunity to take control of your photographic printing, while bringing your photography and business to the next level.
Imagine printing archival quality photographs your clients will cherish for generations, while achieving unmatched color accuracy, shadow-to-highlight detail, clarity and sharpness. You can accomplish all this, in-house, on your schedule, without lab fees or delays — even during those busy holiday seasons.
Even more remarkable is the cost savings you’ll enjoy on every print. In most cases, you’ll significantly reduce your cost-per-print, while providing far superior quality than you get from the lab — all on your schedule.
Keeping your workflow simple, we’ve made SureLab fully compatible with virtually any Microsoft® Windows® based application by providing standard EPSON Professional Photographic printer drivers. This allows SureLab to print directly from the most popular photographic applications, from Adobe® Photoshop® and Lightroom® to Darkroom® software.
And best of all, SureLab is fully supported by Epson’s world-class service and support teams. Every SureLab comes standard with one year of free phone support and usually next-business-day on-site service. Plus, with our optional extended service programs, you can cover your SureLab up to five years in total.
Just imagine the competitive advantages — greater control over your workflow, extraordinary print quality, increased productivity and profitability, and more satisfied customers. SureLab just makes good business sense.
