Epson SureColor P9560 44" Professional Photo & Fine Art Printer
Exceptional Colour Accuracy for Professional Photography, Fine Art & Proofing
The Epson SureColor P9560 is a professional 44-inch (1,118 mm) large-format photo and fine-art printer engineered for photographers, fine-art studios, galleries, proofing environments and commercial print businesses that demand exceptional colour accuracy and image quality.
Featuring Epson’s 12-colour UltraChrome PRO12 pigment ink system, PrecisionCore Micro TFP printhead technology and a maximum resolution of 2400 × 1200 dpi, the P9560 delivers outstanding colour reproduction, smooth tonal transitions, deep blacks and highly detailed photographic output.
Unlike the newer 10-colour P9360, the P9560 uses a 12-colour ink configuration, making it particularly attractive for demanding colour-critical photography, fine-art reproduction and proofing applications.
12-Colour UltraChrome PRO12 Pigment Ink
At the heart of the SureColor P9560 is Epson's UltraChrome PRO12 aqueous pigment ink technology.
The expanded ink set includes specialist colours designed to provide an exceptionally wide colour gamut, strong photographic reproduction and excellent neutral grey balance. The addition of Violet ink helps the printer achieve up to 99% Pantone coverage, according to Epson.
The ink configuration includes:
Photo Black, Matte Black, Cyan, Light Cyan, Vivid Magenta, Vivid Light Magenta, Yellow, Grey, Light Grey, Orange, Green and Violet.
Both Photo Black and Matte Black are installed simultaneously, helping the printer produce strong Dmax and excellent tonal reproduction across photographic and fine-art media.
Ink cartridges are available in 350 ml and 700 ml capacities, making the P9560 suitable for both specialist studios and higher-volume production environments.
PrecisionCore Micro TFP Printhead
The P9560 incorporates Epson's PrecisionCore Micro TFP printhead, featuring 12 channels and 800 nozzles per colour.
A minimum droplet size of just 3.5 picolitres enables the printer to reproduce extremely fine photographic details, subtle gradients and smooth tonal transitions.
Maximum print resolution reaches 2400 × 1200 dpi.
The printer also incorporates automated technologies including nozzle checking, cleaning and printhead alignment to help maintain consistent output quality.
Designed for Professional Photography
The SureColor P9560 is particularly well suited to professional photographic applications where colour accuracy, shadow detail and smooth tonal gradation are critical.
Its combination of multiple black and grey inks helps produce highly controlled monochrome images with smooth transitions from highlights through midtones to deep shadows.
The expanded colour gamut also makes the P9560 an excellent choice for:
- Professional photography and photographic studios
- Fine-art and limited-edition prints
- Gallery and exhibition photography
- Giclée printing
- Colour-critical proofing
- Graphic design studios
- Advertising and creative agencies
- Commercial photographic laboratories
- Premium poster and presentation graphics
Up to 44" / 1,118 mm Print Width
The P9560 supports media up to 44 inches (1,118 mm) wide, allowing production of large photographic prints, artwork, posters and exhibition graphics.
Roll media from 254 mm to 1,118 mm wide is supported, with roll lengths up to approximately 18 metres depending on the media. Cut-sheet media from 210 mm to 1,118 mm wide is also supported.
The printer supports roll media up to 0.5 mm thick, while cut sheets can be as thick as 1.5 mm.
Borderless Printing
The P9560 supports professional borderless output on compatible roll media, making it particularly useful for photographic and fine-art production where trimming and finishing time needs to be minimised.
A heavy-duty rotary automatic cutter assists with continuous production and accurate media handling.
Professional Print Performance
Despite its focus on exceptional image quality, the P9560 is capable of practical production speeds.
Using Premium Glossy Photo Paper 170gsm, Epson specifies approximately:
| Print Mode | A1 Print Time |
|---|---|
| Draft – 600 × 600 dpi | Approx. 1.6 min |
| Normal – 600 × 600 dpi | Approx. 2.03 min |
| Highest Quality – 2400 × 1200 dpi | Approx. 6.12 min |
Actual production speed will vary according to media, image complexity, resolution, networking and workflow configuration.
Optional Auto Take-Up Reel
For businesses producing longer print runs, an optional Auto Take-Up Unit can be installed.
This allows printed media to be automatically wound onto a roll, providing a more convenient workflow for extended photographic, poster and graphics production.
Large Ink Capacity
The availability of 700 ml ink cartridges makes the SureColor P9560 particularly suitable for professional production environments.
Higher-capacity cartridges reduce cartridge changes and help minimise interruptions during long print runs.
Smaller 350 ml cartridges are also available, allowing businesses to choose a cartridge size appropriate to their production volume.
Professional Media Handling
The P9560 provides flexible handling for both roll and sheet media.
The roll system incorporates dual tension settings, while Epson's Media Barcode System assists with media management. A retractable output basket is included and can accommodate large prints.
This flexibility allows the printer to work with a wide range of professional media including compatible:
Photo papers • Fine-art papers • Matte papers • Proofing media • Canvas • Poster media • Presentation papers • Specialty inkjet media
Optional PostScript Support
For professional graphic arts and proofing workflows, an optional PostScript module is available for the P9560.
The printer is also compatible with a wide range of professional design, production, workflow-management and RIP software.

Why Choose the Epson SureColor P9560?
The SureColor P9560 is an excellent choice where colour gamut and photographic reproduction are more important than simply achieving the highest possible production speed.
Its combination of a 44-inch print width, 12-colour UltraChrome PRO12 ink, 700 ml maximum cartridge capacity, PrecisionCore technology and professional media handling makes it particularly suitable for demanding photographic and fine-art environments.
The expanded Orange, Green and Violet colour capability is especially valuable for reproducing colours that can be difficult to achieve accurately with conventional CMYK-based large-format printers.

Epson SureColor P9560 – Professional 44" Colour Without Compromise
For businesses requiring exceptional photographic image quality and an extremely wide colour gamut, the Epson SureColor P9560 44" remains a powerful professional printing solution.
Its 12-colour UltraChrome PRO12 ink system, large 700 ml ink capacity, PrecisionCore Micro TFP printhead and professional roll-media handling combine to deliver outstanding photographic, fine-art and proofing performance.
Importantly, Epson Australia still lists the P9560 in its current SureColor P-Series range, alongside the newer P9360, so I would not describe it as discontinued on your website at present.
