Let's start with the basics.

The Epson SC-P5300 is a 17-inch photo production that offers high black density blacks and the convenience of Wi-Fi connectivity making it suitable for a broad range of users.

Where this printer fits in the portfolio of Epson printers is for those who don't necessarily run their printer all day every day. That kind of production is more suited to the Epson P5000, a printer that requires regular use to perform at its best. The other printer that may come into the conversation is the Epson P900 which is a superb printer in terms of quality and reliability.

Epson cleverly combined the best elements of both of these popular machines to create the P5300, which offers the reliability of the Epson P900 as it shares the same print head and ink set. However, the Epson P5300 also shares the same chassis, footprint, and roll feed facility as the Epson P5000.

This makes it the ideal printer for the home or small business user as it offers a cheaper cost per print than the P900 due to the larger 200ml inks whilst being just as reliable. In addition, the ability to accept roll media brings additional flexibility on print size and surfaces plus the economic benefit of being able to purchase your chosen papers in roll format.

Form a technical perspective, the SC-P5300 features the deepest blacks, enhanced usability and functionality, and a contemporary design so it will look just as good as the prints it produces. Professional users will benefit from an optimised colour gamut, Black Enhanced Overcoat (BEO), and Carbon Black Mode for high-quality output. Includes Wi-Fi functionality.

Productivity: The SC-P5300 handles high-volume printing with ease, maintaining the image quality of the SC-P5000. It features a 10-channel Micro Piezo printhead with a dedicated PK/MK channel, supports diverse media types, and includes a built-in roll unit and paper cassette.
Quality: The SC-P5300 produces up to A2 prints with deeper blacks, enhanced contrast, and reduced bronzing on glossy media. Powered by UltraChrome Pro10 Ink, Black Enhance Overcoat (BEO), violet ink for a wider blue gamut, and Carbon Black Mode for richer black density.
Usability: The SC-P5300 features an intuitive Wi-Fi-enabled 4.3-inch colour LCD touchscreen, and Epson Cloud Solution PORT (ECSP) for streamlined production planning and print job management.
Flexibility: The SC-P5300 is ideal for photo retailers, photographers, artists, and designers. The SC-P5300 integrates seamlessly into existing photo environments, leveraging features from Epson’s pro-photo range like the SC-P700, SC-P900, and SC-P9500.
