Model: SLD1070DE
from $2,745
The SureLab D1070DE Professional Minilab Printer from Epson is designed for high-production printing of small-format photos. It supports high-capacity paper rolls and includes a duplex feeder that allows automated single- and double-sided printing on glossy, luster, or matte paper sheets. It lets you print double-sided photos, postcards, invitations, menus, greeting cards, and more. The duplex feeder holds 100 A4-size sheets. When printing on rolls, the D1070DE Minilab produces up to 460 prints per hour in the 4 x 6" size, 300 at 5 x 7", and 165 at 8 x 10". The compact size and integrated output tray of the printer make it well-suited for photo booths as well as portrait and event photography.
Buy a laser printer unless you regularly print high-quality glossy photos. For high-volume color, consider an ink-tank printer (Megatank/Ecotank) instead of traditional cartridge models to save hundreds on ink. Available from $2,745.
Inkjet printers have a razor-and-blades model: cheap upfront, but exorbitant ink costs. Laser printers cost more upfront but have a vastly superior and cheaper cost of ownership over their lifespan.
Common Failure Modes
Inkjet printers almost always fail due to dried and clogged printheads from infrequent use. Laser printers are much more robust but may eventually require fuser or drum replacements after thousands of pages.
