Epson's latest A3+ pro-photo printer combines a lightweight, stylish and compact design with many features for creating professional-quality prints on a range of media. Combining pigment inks and advanced connectivity features in one affordable package, the Epson SC-P400 printer is ideal for amateur photographers and photography enthusiasts alike.

Amateur photographers and photo enthusiasts can now create impressive, professional-quality prints with the SC-P400 printer. Utilising a seven-colour Ultra Chrome Hi-Gloss 2 ink-set with gloss optimiser means that photos will have vibrant colours and a uniform smooth gloss finish. The inks are delivered onto the page by Epson's micro-piezo technology, utilising a printhead that creates the smallest ink droplet size of any A3+ photo printer on the market[1], ensuring incredibly accurate prints.

Vernon Mellors, LFP Product Manager of Epson South Africa, says "Adding to our range of Sure-Color pro-photo desktop printers, the Epson SC-P400 is ideal for users who want to create professional results when using a range of media. As well as offering superior connectivity options and versatile media printing, it comes with the most affordable pigment ink-set on the market1, meaning cost-conscious users can keep their costs down."

Creating professional-quality prints in sizes up to A3+ is easy and - thanks to a wide range of supported media - stunning photographs can be displayed in a number of ways. For users who desire prints with a museum-quality appearance, the Epson SC-P400 printer includes a fine art paper path that is extremely easy to use as it has a rear-loading tray. Printing on roll media is optimised with two roll paper holders that allow accurate printing on two-inch core media. If users require thicker photos, rigid media of up to 1.3mm is also supported, while CD and DVD printing is also possible.

More flexible than ever before, the new model comes with a range of advanced connectivity features, including WiFi printing. Whether you are using a smartphone or tablet, by simply downloading the iPrint app to your device, you can quickly and effortlessly print photos wirelessly. The printer can even be connected to a local network in a photo lab or office thanks to its built-in Ethernet capability.

Furthermore, it is the smallest and lightest A3+ photo printer with pigment inks available on the market1, meaning users can save precious desk and counter space. Its stylish and professional design will make it an ideal addition to any modern home, studio or office.

The Epson SC-P400 printer will be available for purchase from November 2015 at a recommended retail price of R10999 (Incl. VAT).
