Features
The main features of this printer are described below.
Realizing High Resolution
The newly developed ink technology provides high
definition for photo, fine art, and proofing paper.
New print head design
Our new print heads are equipped with a 2.64 inch
integrated precision core μTFP head with a staggered
array, and we have adopted a resolution of 300 dpi for
optimal printing.
Pigmented inks with superior
resistance
Pigment inks maintain more beautiful and more vibrant
prints over a long period of time with their high light
fastness. They are also extremely fade-resistant and can
be safely displayed in direct sunlight. Additionally, the
high water and ozone resistance is not only ideal for
photo printing, but also allows for store displays and
banners, outdoor displays of posters and so on. When
you are printing for outdoor use, use lamination
processing.
A variety of black and color inks
As well as the five basic ink colors, inks with the
following features have also been included.
Two types of black ink to suit your
printing purposes
By automatically switching to suit the paper type being
used, the two types of black ink provided are Photo
Black which realizes a smooth, professional finish on
glossy paper, and Matte Black which increases black
optical density using matte paper.
Two types of gray ink to improve
gradation
In addition to Photo Black and Matte Black, two
additional variants of black ink have also been installed
(Gray and Light Gray) to provide excellent granularity
and richly expressive gradation.

Three spot color inks that help to
realize a wide range of color
reproduction
This printer is equipped with Orange, Green, and Violet
inks allowing us to realize a wide range of color
reproduction, thereby achieving high PANTONE
coverage.
Notes on Usage and
Storage
Installation space
Make sure that you secure a space of at least 300 mm
around the entire printer, clear of any other objects, so
that paper ejection and consumable replacement are not
obstructed.
See the “Specifications Table” for the external
dimensions of the printer.
U“Specifications Table” on page 176
Notes when using the printer
Note the following points when using this printer to
avoid breakdowns, malfunctions, and print quality
decline.
❏When using the printer, observe the operating
temperature and humidity range described in the
"Specifications Table".
U“Specifications Table” on page 176
Even when the conditions above are met, you may
not be able to print properly if the environmental
conditions are not suitable for the paper. Be sure to
use the printer in an environment where the paper's
requirements are met. For more details, see the
documentation supplied with the paper.
Also, when operating in dry areas, air conditioned
environment, or under direct sunlight, maintain
the appropriate humidity.
SC-P9500 Series/SC-P7500 Series User's Guide
Notes on Manuals

❏Do not install the printer next to heat sources or
directly in the path of air from a ventilator or air
conditioner. Failure to observe this precaution
could result in the print head nozzles drying and
clogging.
❏The print head may not be capped (i.e., may not
move to the right-hand side) if an error occurs and
the printer is turned off without first resolving the
error. Capping is a function for automatically
covering the print head with a cap (lid) to prevent
the print head from drying out. In this case, turn on
the power and wait a while until capping is
performed automatically.
❏When the power is on, do not remove the power
plug or cut the power at the breaker. The print head
may not be capped properly. In this case, turn on the
power and wait a while until capping is performed
automatically.
❏Even when the printer is not in use, some ink will be
consumed by head cleaning and other maintenance
operations needed to keep the print head in good
condition.
Notes when not using the printer
If you are not using it, note the following points when
storing the printer. If it is not stored correctly, you may
not be able to print properly the next time it is used.
❏If you do not print for a long time, the print head
nozzles may become clogged. We recommend that
you print once a week to prevent the print head
from clogging.
❏The roller may leave an impression on paper that is
left in the printer. This can also cause wavy or curled
paper resulting in paper feeding problems or the
print head could be scratched. Remove any paper
when storing.
❏Store the printer after confirming that the print
head has been capped (the print head is positioned
at the far right). If the print head is left uncapped for
a long time, the print quality may decline.
Note:
If the print head is not capped, turn the printer on, and
then turn it off.
❏To prevent the accumulation of dust and other
foreign matter in the printer, close all covers before
placing it in storage.
If the printer will be not be used for an extended
period, protect it with an anti-static cloth or other
cover.
The print head nozzles are very small, and they can
become clogged easily if fine dust gets on the print
head, and you may not be able to print properly.
❏When turned on after an extended period of disuse,
the printer may automatically perform head
cleaning to ensure print quality.
U“Print Head Maintenance” on page 115
Notes on handling ink cartridges
Note the following points when handling ink cartridges
to maintain good print quality.
❏The supplied ink cartridges and Maintenance Box
are for use during the initial charging. The supplied
ink cartridges and Maintenance Box will be
required replacement relatively quickly.
❏We recommend that ink cartridges be stored at
room temperature out of direct sunlight and used
before the expiry date printed on the packaging.
❏To ensure good results, we recommend that all the
ink in the cartridge be used within a year of
installation.
❏Ink cartridges that have been stored at low
temperatures for an extended period should be
allowed to return to room temperature over a
period of four hours.
❏Do not touch the IC chips on the ink cartridges. You
may not be able to print properly.
❏Install all ink cartridges into each slot. You cannot
print if any of the slots are empty.
❏Do not leave the printer without ink cartridges
installed. The ink in the printer may dry, preventing
it from printing as expected. Leave ink cartridges in
all slots even while you do not use the printer.
❏The ink level and other data are stored in the IC
chip, allowing cartridges to be used after being
removed and replaced.
SC-P9500 Series/SC-P7500 Series User's Guide
Notes on Manuals
14

❏To avoid getting dirt on the ink supply port, store
the removed ink cartridge properly. The ink supply
port has a valve in it so it does not need to be capped.
❏Removed ink cartridges may have ink around the
ink supply port, so be careful not to get any ink on
the surrounding area when removing the
cartridges.
❏To maintain the quality of the print head, this
printer stops printing before ink cartridges are
completely expended, and ink remains in the used
cartridge.
❏Although the ink cartridges may contain recycled
materials, this does not affect printer function or
performance.
❏Do not dismantle or remodel ink cartridges. You
may not be able to print properly.
❏Do not drop or knock ink cartridges against hard
objects; otherwise, the ink may leak.
Notes on handling paper
Note the following points when handling and storing
the paper. If the paper is not in good condition, print
quality may decline.
Check the documentation supplied with each paper.
Notes on Handling
❏Use Epson special media under normal room
conditions (temperature: 15 to 25˚C, humidity: 40
to 60%).
❏Do not fold the paper or scratch the surface of the
paper.
❏Avoid touching the printable surface of the paper
with your bare hands. Moisture and oils from your
hands can affect print quality.
❏Handle paper by the edges. We recommend
wearing cotton gloves.
❏Changes in temperature and humidity may cause
paper to become wavy or curled. Check the
following points.
❏Insert the paper just before printing.
❏Do not use wavy or warped paper.
For roll paper, cut off any parts that are wavy or
curled, and then load the paper again.
For cut sheets, use new paper.
❏Do not wet the paper.
❏Do not throw away the paper packaging as you can
use it for storing the paper.
❏Avoid locations that are subject to direct sunlight,
excessive heat, or humidity.
❏Keep cut sheets in their original package after
opening, and keep them in a flat place.
❏Remove roll paper that is not in use from the
printer. Rewind it correctly and then store it in the
original packaging that came with the roll paper. If
you leave the roll paper in the printer for a long
time, its quality may decline.
Notes on handling printed paper
To maintain long lasting, high quality print results, note
the following points.
❏Do not rub or scratch the printed surface. If they are
rubbed or scratched, the ink may peel off.
❏Do not touch the printed surface; Failure to observe
this precaution may cause ink to rub off.
❏Make sure the print outs are completely dry before
folding of stacking; otherwise, the color may change
where they touch (leaves a mark). These marks will
disappear if they are separated immediately and
dried; however, they will remain if not separated.
❏If you put the print outs in an album before they are
completely dry, they may be blurred.
❏Do not use a dryer to dry the print outs.
❏Avoid direct sunlight.
❏Prevent color distortion while displaying or storing
the print outs by following the instructions in the
paper's documentation.
SC-P9500 Series/SC-P7500 Series User's Guide
Notes on Manuals

Note:
Typically, print outs and photos fade over time (color
distortion) due to the effects of light and various
constituents in the air. This also applies to Epson special
media. However, with the correct storage method, the
degree of color distortion can be minimized.
❏See the documentation supplied with Epson special
media for detailed information on handling the
paper after printing.
❏The colors of photos, posters, and other printed
materials appear different under different lighting
conditions (light sources
*
). The colors of print outs
from this printer may also appear different under
different light sources.
* Light sources include sunlight, fluorescent light,
incandescent light, and other types.
