Epson SureColor P8560DL (BULK INK) 44-inch Dual Roll High-Production Photo & Graphics Printer

 

The Epson SureColor P8560DL is a high-production 44-inch (1118mm) professional large format printer designed for commercial print businesses that require fast output, outstanding image quality and significantly increased ink capacity.

Combining Epson's 2.64-inch PrecisionCore TFP printhead, UltraChrome PRO6 pigment ink technology, six high-capacity 1.6-litre ink pouches, integrated dual-roll media handling, Adobe PostScript 3 and an integrated 960GB SSD, the P8560DL is engineered for demanding production environments where reducing operator intervention and maintaining productivity are essential.

It is particularly well suited to high-volume poster production, professional photography, retail POS graphics, promotional displays, interior graphics and commercial print applications.

Massive 1.6-Litre Ink Pouch System

One of the biggest advantages of the SureColor P8560DL is its high-capacity ink system.

Unlike the P8560D, which uses 350ml or 700ml cartridges, the P8560DL uses 1.6-litre ink pouches.

With six full pouches installed, the printer provides a total ink capacity of 9.6 litres.

For businesses producing large quantities of graphics and photographic work, the increased ink capacity can reduce the frequency of ink changes and minimise interruptions during long production runs.

UltraChrome PRO6 Pigment Ink Technology

The P8560DL uses Epson's professional UltraChrome PRO6 all-pigment aqueous ink system.

The six-colour configuration consists of:

• Photo Black
• Matte Black
• Cyan
• Magenta
• Yellow
• Grey

Dedicated Photo Black and Matte Black inks provide excellent performance across photographic and matte media, while Grey ink improves tonal reproduction and helps produce smoother photographic gradients.

Pigment-based inks also provide the durability required for professional photographic, poster and commercial graphics applications.

PrecisionCore TFP Printhead

At the heart of the P8560DL is Epson's 2.64-inch PrecisionCore TFP printhead.

The printhead features 9,600 nozzles and supports a minimum droplet size of just 3.5 picolitres, enabling precise ink placement while maintaining excellent production speeds.

With a maximum print resolution of 2400 × 1200 dpi, the P8560DL can produce sharp text, detailed photographic images and smooth gradients across a wide variety of professional media.

Fast Commercial Production

The SureColor P8560DL is designed for businesses where turnaround time matters.

Epson specifies B0 plain-paper print times as fast as:

• 35 seconds – Draft mode
• 46 seconds – Speed mode
• 258 seconds – Quality mode

On compatible photo media, users can select different quality and speed settings according to the requirements of each job.

This combination of speed and image quality makes the P8560DL an excellent production printer for busy print shops and graphics departments.

Integrated Dual-Roll System

The P8560DL incorporates an advanced dual-roll media system, allowing two rolls to be loaded simultaneously.

This provides several important workflow advantages.

Operators can keep two different media types or sizes loaded and switch between them according to the job, reducing the amount of manual media handling required throughout the working day.

Alternatively, the second roll can be configured as an automatic take-up unit (ATU) for roll-to-roll production.

For high-volume environments, this is one of the P8560DL's most valuable productivity features.

44-Inch / 1118mm Wide Printing

The Epson SureColor P8560DL supports media up to 44 inches / 1118mm wide, making it suitable for a broad range of professional large-format applications.

Typical applications include:

• High-volume poster printing
• Professional photography
• Retail POS graphics
• Promotional displays
• Interior graphics
• Exhibition graphics
• Presentation graphics
• Corporate signage
• Fine art reproduction
• Commercial graphics
• Short-run promotional work

Roll, Sheet & Poster Board Support

The P8560DL provides extensive media flexibility.

Roll media can range from 254mm to 1118mm wide, while individual sheets from A4 through to B0 are supported.

The printer can also accept front-loaded poster board from 0.8mm to 1.5mm thick.

Roll media up to 170mm in diameter and 12.5kg in weight is supported, while an integrated rotary cutter provides automatic cutting of compatible roll media.

Borderless Printing

The P8560DL supports borderless printing across numerous standard media widths, including popular sizes such as:

• 610mm / 24"
• 841mm
• 914mm / 36"
• 1030mm
• 1118mm / 44"

Borderless printing can reduce finishing requirements when producing photographic prints, posters and presentation graphics.

Integrated Adobe PostScript 3

The SureColor P8560DL incorporates Adobe PostScript Level 3, providing streamlined processing of professional PDF and graphic files.

This is particularly useful for print shops, design studios and commercial graphics environments handling complex artwork from Adobe Creative Cloud and other professional design applications.

The printer also supports ESC/P Raster, HP-GL/2 and HP-RTL workflows.

Integrated 960GB SSD

Another significant feature of the P8560DL is its integrated 960GB SSD.

The large internal storage capacity provides additional flexibility for managing demanding production workflows and processing large print jobs.

Combined with the printer's PostScript capabilities, this makes the P8560DL particularly well suited to shared commercial production environments.

Direct USB Printing

A convenient front-panel USB connection allows compatible files to be printed directly from a USB drive.

Supported direct-print formats include:

• PDF
• JPEG
• TIFF

For straightforward production jobs, operators can therefore output files without needing to send every job through a dedicated workstation.

4.3-Inch Colour Touchscreen

The P8560DL incorporates a 4.3-inch colour LCD touchscreen for convenient everyday operation.

The touchscreen provides quick access to media settings, printer status and operating functions, helping simplify workflow for production staff.

Advanced Connectivity

The Epson SureColor P8560DL provides comprehensive connectivity for modern print environments, including:

• USB 3.0
• Gigabit Ethernet
• Wi-Fi
• Wi-Fi Direct

This allows the printer to operate as either a dedicated production device or a shared network printer accessed by multiple users.

Intelligent Roll Media Management

Epson's barcode-based roll media management system helps operators keep track of the media loaded into the printer and the approximate amount remaining on a roll.

This can be particularly useful in high-volume environments where multiple rolls and media types are regularly used.

Compact High-Production Design

Despite its 44-inch print width and substantial ink capacity, the P8560DL has been engineered around a relatively compact floor-standing body.

The printer measures approximately:

1848mm (W) × 499mm (D) × 975mm (H)

Its front-loading media system and integrated media basket help minimise the amount of operational space required around the printer.

This is particularly beneficial for commercial print rooms where floor space is valuable.

P8560DL vs P8560D

The P8560DL and P8560D share the same 44-inch printing platform, UltraChrome PRO6 ink technology and dual-roll architecture, but their ink delivery systems are different.

The standard P8560D uses 350ml or 700ml cartridges, while the P8560DL uses much larger 1.6-litre ink pouches.

For lower or moderate production volumes, the P8560D provides greater flexibility in cartridge capacity.

For businesses printing continuously or consuming substantial quantities of ink, the P8560DL's 1.6-litre pouch system is the more production-focused configuration, reducing the frequency of ink replacement.

Why Choose the Epson SureColor P8560DL?

The Epson SureColor P8560DL is designed for businesses where large-format printing is a significant part of daily production.

Its combination of 44-inch printing, 1.6-litre ink pouches, dual-roll media handling, high-speed PrecisionCore technology, integrated PostScript and a 960GB SSD provides an exceptionally capable production platform.

Compared with conventional cartridge-based large-format printers, the P8560DL's 9.6-litre total ink capacity is particularly attractive for businesses looking to minimise ink changes and maintain long production runs.

For high-volume poster, photographic, POS and commercial graphics production, the P8560DL provides an excellent balance of speed, print quality, media flexibility and production efficiency.
