A 17 inch, large format printer tailored for professional, high volume photo printing and fine art reproduction.
If you create professional photographs and high-quality artwork, then the Epson SureColor Prographics range is the ideal choice. This series embodies the highest level of colour printing technology, boasting ultra-high resolution and an extensive colour range. It delivers exceptional results within a versatile, dependable and easily maintainable platform.
The SureColor P5360 stands out as a 17" (432 mm) Large Format Printer tailored for premium photo printing and fine art reproduction. It offers excellent versatility, accommodating a wide array of standard and specialized media in both roll and sheet formats. Equipped with Epson's innovative Micro Piezo printhead featuring Variable Sized Droplet Technology (VSDT), this printer excels in producing high-resolution images with remarkable detail and smooth tonal gradation.
One of its standout features is the utilisation of Epson's cutting-edge UltraChrome Pro10 all-pigment aqueous ink, which enables the SC-P5360 to generate gallery-quality black and white prints, along with vibrant and captivating colour prints. The introduction of violet ink enhances the printer's capability to render stunning blues and violets. Additionally, it streamlines the ink switching process by dedicating separate lines for all colours, eliminating the need to switch between Photo and Matte Black ink cartridges, ultimately saving time and reducing waste.
* Accelerated testing of prints on specialty photo and fine art media displayed indoors under glass indicates light stability of up to 200 years for colour and 400 years for black-and-white. IMPORTANT: Actual stability will vary according to the media, image, surface treatment, display conditions, light intensity, humidity and atmospheric conditions. Epson does not provide any warranty or guarantee on the longevity of prints. For further details on light stability and image preservation please visit www.wilhelm-research.com.
** When printers are installed, maintained and operated appropriately using Genuine Epson UltraChrome Pro10 ink then printheads are covered under warranty with free on-site replacement subject to conditions outlined in the Epson Warranty Statement. Cover can be extended through the purchase of optional CoverPlus Service Packs up to a maximum total of five years. CoverPlus on this model requires activation of Epson Cloud Solution PORT and connection of the printer. PORT operation on the printer requires connection to a network with internet access and activation of the integrated server agent.

Please note: Specifications are provided as a guide only.
We try very hard to keep these up to date and correct, but if a particular specification is really critical to you, then please double check the specification directly with the manufacturer. Some features may of course have caveats not fully described here.
To get more information about a particular specification, use the arrow to get a 'Specxplanation'.
Pigment inks are essential for archival results and dye based printers should only be used for volume/proof printing purposes.
Counter intuitively, once you go beyond about 8 inks, the sheer number of inks is not actually a good way of determining print quality.
Different companies have gone down different paths here, some using less inks but having by far the best ink screening (mixing) technology (Epson), others adding more ink colours (e.g. Canon). Both approaches have pros and cons (smoothness vs. purity for example) - but the take home point is that any of the modern 8+ ink pigment machines from the major makers will now have very similar gamut and print quality.
The Carriage Width is the maximum width of paper (on the short side) that can be used in the printer.
Colloquially printers are more commonly referred to as 'A4, 'A3+' or 'A2' printers in Australia but of course not every country in the world uses the A paper system.
Typically, A4 printers have a 9" carriage, A3+ printers are 13" carriage, and A2 printers a 17" carriage.
Does the printer have a dedicated, high quality black and white mode for photographic printing?
Almost all ink printers have a 'black only' type mode, but that is quite different to what we're talking about here.
In this mode, called by Epson 'Advanced Black and White' mode or simply ABW, the printer uses multiple grey inks (AKA light black, light light black inks) to produce smooth black and white tones with little to no colour interference.
This is the maximum dot resolution of the print head. The higher the number, the smaller the dots of ink the printer can place.
Note that this has nothing to do with image resolution of course. The printer uses several ink dots to form the colour of one pixel. However the dots are so fine and closely mixed together you can only really see this screening pattern with a magnifying glass.
What physical connections are possible? Wireless support is listed separately below.
Options include USB, Firewire, Thunderbolt, and Ethernet.
Does the printer support wireless, and if so what speeds and standards.
Most modern routers will offer at least G, which is fast enough to run a printer. N and AC are quicker and good to have but they won't make your printer faster unfortunately!
If you use Apple devices like the iPad or iPhone, you'll want Apple Print support, allowing you to print directly from your device to the printer.
For Android devices, Google Cloud Print is the equivalent system.
Epson Connect offers a further option but generally you'll use one of the two main options above with modern devices.
Does the printer support printing to printable CDs and DVDs?
The sheet sizes supported by the printer out of the box. You can also generally define your own custom sheet sizes in the driver if you want to use unusually sized materials.
(Note, though, that you can't typically print borderless to custom sheet sizes - the standard workaround is to use sheets slightly larger than you need, and then simply guillotine to the printed edge after printing).
Does the printer support roll media, and do you need an accessory device for this?
Even if the printer doesn't support roll media, you can still buy rolls, cut sheets from the roll, and use those. Just leave them to flatten for a few days as paper curl can be a painful issue with printers.
Can the printer print right to the edge when using roll media?
