Exceptional 12-Colour UltraChrome PRO12 Ink Technology
At the heart of the SureColor P20560 is Epson's UltraChrome PRO12 aqueous pigment ink technology.
The sophisticated 12-colour ink configuration has been developed for professional photographic, fine art and commercial graphics applications where colour accuracy, tonal reproduction and image stability are critical.
The ink set incorporates:
- Photo Black
- Matte Black
- Cyan
- Vivid Magenta
- Yellow
- Light Cyan
- Vivid Light Magenta
- Grey
- Light Grey
- Dark Grey
- Orange
- Violet
The combination of Orange and Violet inks significantly expands the available colour gamut, while multiple grey inks provide improved neutral reproduction and exceptionally smooth transitions throughout monochrome images.
This makes the P20560 particularly well suited to demanding colour-critical applications including professional photography, exhibition printing, fine art reproduction, proofing and premium commercial graphics.
Outstanding Colour Accuracy
The Epson SureColor P20560 is designed for environments where colour accuracy is essential.
Its UltraChrome PRO12 ink technology provides an extremely wide colour gamut, including coverage of up to 99% of the Pantone® colour range, making the printer suitable not only for photography but also for colour-critical graphic design, proofing and commercial print applications.
Vivid Magenta helps reproduce vibrant pinks, blues and purples, while Orange and Violet inks extend the printer's ability to reproduce difficult colours that conventional ink systems may struggle to achieve.
The result is brilliant colour, excellent saturation and highly accurate reproduction across an exceptionally broad range of photographic and graphic applications.
Exceptional Black & White Photography
The SureColor P20560 is equally impressive when producing monochrome photography.
Multiple black and grey inks help produce:
- Deep, rich blacks
- Smooth grey transitions
- Excellent shadow detail
- Neutral monochrome output
- Reduced unwanted colour casts
- Improved tonal consistency
- Excellent highlight-to-shadow transitions
Improved Photo Black and Matte Black formulations provide enhanced Dmax, helping photographers produce prints with excellent contrast and an extended tonal range.
For professional portrait, landscape, architectural and fine art photographers, the P20560 provides the tonal control required for premium black-and-white reproduction.
PrecisionCore Micro TFP Printhead Technology
The SureColor P20560 incorporates Epson's advanced PrecisionCore Micro TFP printhead, designed to provide a combination of speed, precision and reliability.
The printer features 12 print channels with 800 nozzles per colour, allowing extremely precise ink placement across the full 64-inch print width.
Epson's Variable Sized Droplet Technology automatically controls ink droplet size according to the image being printed.
With droplets as small as 3.5 picolitres, the P20560 can reproduce extremely fine photographic details, subtle gradients and smooth areas of colour.
The printer supports a maximum resolution of 2400 × 1200 dpi.
Built for High-Volume Production
While image quality is a major strength of the P20560, Epson has also engineered the printer for commercial production environments.
Depending on print mode and media, rated print speeds include:
| Print Mode | Resolution | Speed |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 300 × 600 dpi | Up to 25.00 m²/hr |
| Quality | 600 × 600 dpi | Up to 18.18 m²/hr |
| High Quality | 1200 × 600 dpi | Up to 10.46 m²/hr |
| Maximum Quality | 2400 × 1200 dpi | Up to 5.60 m²/hr |
Actual production speed will vary depending on media, image complexity, print mode, software, workflow and environmental conditions.
This range of print modes enables operators to choose the appropriate balance between production speed and image quality for each job.
High-Capacity Ink Pouch System
The SureColor P20560 uses a high-capacity ink pouch system designed to support demanding commercial production.
UltraChrome PRO12 inks are available in capacities of up to 1.6 litres per colour, significantly reducing the frequency of ink replacement compared with conventional cartridge-based systems.
The larger ink capacity is particularly valuable for:
- High-volume photo labs
- Fine art production studios
- Print service providers
- Poster production
- Exhibition graphics
- Commercial photographic printing
- Businesses operating long production runs
Less frequent ink replacement means operators can spend more time printing and less time maintaining the machine.
Flexible 64-Inch Media Handling
With a maximum roll width of 1,626 mm / 64 inches, the SureColor P20560 provides considerable flexibility for professional print production.
The printer supports both roll media and cut sheets.
Roll Media
Roll media can range from approximately 254 mm to 1,626 mm wide, with roll diameters up to approximately 170 mm and a maximum roll weight of 24 kg.
Supported roll media thickness ranges from approximately:
0.08 mm to 0.5 mm
Cut Sheet Media
Cut sheets can be used up to 1,118 mm wide and approximately 1,580 mm long, depending on the media and operating conditions.
Cut-sheet media thickness can range from:
0.08 mm to 1.5 mm
This broad media compatibility allows businesses to produce output on a wide variety of photographic, fine art and graphic media.
Suitable Applications
The Epson SureColor P20560 is an excellent solution for producing:

Heavy-Duty Automatic Cutter
An integrated heavy-duty rotary automatic cutter provides fast and accurate cutting of compatible roll media after printing.
This helps streamline production by reducing the amount of manual finishing required.
For continuous roll-to-roll production, an optional automatic take-up unit is also available.
This can be particularly useful for businesses producing long runs of posters, photographic prints or other roll-based graphics.
Intelligent Media Management
The P20560 incorporates Epson's Media Barcode System, helping operators manage roll media efficiently.
Media information can be stored and used to assist with roll identification and media management when rolls are removed and subsequently reloaded.
This feature is particularly useful in production environments where operators regularly switch between multiple paper, photographic and specialty media types.
Automated Printhead Maintenance
Maintaining consistent print quality is critical in professional production.
The SureColor P20560 incorporates a range of automated technologies including:
- Automatic nozzle checking
- Automatic nozzle cleaning
- Automatic printhead alignment
- Manual nozzle checking
- Ink-repelling printhead coating
These systems help reduce operator intervention while maintaining consistent output quality throughout production.
Epson Edge Print PRO Included
The SureColor P20560 is supplied with Epson Edge Print PRO, providing professional RIP and print-production functionality.
This helps businesses manage colour, media and production workflows from a professional print environment.
The printer is also compatible with a broad range of third-party design, production, workflow management and RIP solutions.
Additional Epson software solutions include Epson Print Layout, Epson Edge Dashboard, Epson Media Installer, Epson Edge Color and Epson Cloud Solution PORT, depending on operating system and software availability.
Easy Operation
A built-in 4.3-inch colour touchscreen LCD provides operators with convenient access to printer settings, media configuration, maintenance functions and printer status.
The interface has been designed to simplify day-to-day operation while giving production staff quick access to commonly used functions.
Professional Network Connectivity
The Epson SureColor P20560 supports:
- High-Speed USB 3.0
- 100Base-TX Ethernet
- 1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet
Gigabit Ethernet connectivity makes the printer well suited to professional studios and production environments where large high-resolution photographic files are regularly transferred across a network.
Optional Automatic Take-Up Unit
For businesses requiring continuous roll-to-roll production, Epson offers an optional automatic take-up unit.
The take-up system is particularly useful for longer print runs and production environments where printed media needs to be collected efficiently after printing.
This can help improve unattended workflow and reduce manual handling of long prints.
Optional PostScript & SSD
The P20560 can be further configured for professional production workflows with optional accessories including:
- PostScript module
- 960 GB SSD
- Automatic take-up unit
These options allow businesses to configure the printer according to their specific workflow and production requirements.
