More Control. More Profit.
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.

Epson UltraChrome®D6 Ink
For greater reliability and high image quality, the SureLab D3000 is designed to exclusively use the Epson
UltraChrome D6 Ink cartridges2 . Utilizing six individual colors, Epson UltraChrome D6 Ink technology produces
prints with a level of clarity and sharpness that appears almost three-dimensional. Developed specifically for the
SureLab D3000, Epson UltraChrome D6 Ink technology redefines the future of photo lab printing.
Six High-capacity 700 ml Ink Cartridges
Designed for serious print production, while maintaining
low cost-per-ml and maintenance costs, Epson UltraChrome
D6 Ink technology utilizes Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black,
Light Cyan and Light Magenta inks to produce both color
and black-and-white prints.
Extreme Color Gamut
Versus traditional silver-halide chemical-based photo labs,
Epson UltraChrome D6 Ink technology produces prints
with significantly better color, resulting in more accurate
prints worthy of the latest digital camera technologies.

Easier on the Environment
Unlike traditional photo labs, SureLab uses the
latest developments in “dry-lab” technologies,
eliminating harmful chemicals from the photographic
printing environment.
Prints for the Next Generation
You’re capturing the most important memories of
our lives. Now it’s time to start delivering prints that
will last for generations to come3 . Just imagine what
this benefit will mean to your customers.
Print Quality Redefined
Words cannot describe the image quality SureLab
is capable of printing. All we can say is that we’ve
never seen a more perfect photographic print from
any other form of printing — even from Epson.

Advanced Print Engine Design
The Epson SureLab D3000 was developed with ease of use in mind. To meet the expectations of the most demanding
printing environments, our engineers developed an all-new printer from the ground up. Virtually all maintenance has
been automated, including print head cleaning, paper feed adjustments, head alignments, and more. And the simple,
compact design allows for virtually any photo printing environment to have a photo lab on-site.
MicroPiezo®VSD Print Head
An all-new print head capable of printing up to
1440 x 1440 dpi, while producing up to six Variable
Sized Droplets (VSD) as small as 1.5 picoliters.
The result? Unmatched print quality and speed.
Automatic Dual-line Back Printing
A world leader in dot matrix technology, Epson
implemented dual dot matrix printers inside
of SureLab, capable of printing up to 2 lines of
40-character text on the back of each print.

Print Speeds
Quite possibly the fastest “dry-lab” in its class, the
SureLab D3000 can produce up to 650 4"x 6"or
260 8"x 10"prints per hour, easily handling the
most demanding printing environments1 .
High-capacity Roll Media Feeders
Truly robust roll media handling; accommodates
widths of 4", 5", 6", 8", 10", or 12". And SureLab
automatically dries and de-curls the prints, so
you’re ready for immediate delivery.

Accurate Color
Epson sets the standard for color-accurate printing,
and SureLab prints follow this high standard. From
brilliant color to complex flesh tones — it’s perfect.
No Gloss Differential
Epson UltraChrome D6 Ink technology penetrates the
surface of the paper. The result? Surface gloss levels remain
consistent, regardless of your highlight-to-shadow transitions.
Extreme Clarity
Limited only by your file, SureLab
prints have a level of clarity and
sharpness equal only to real life.
