Utilizing the latest Precision Core TFP printhead and Epson Precision Dot screening technologies, the P5000 will create sharp 17″-wide prints at a resolution up to 2880 x 1440 dpi and with a wide gamut thanks to a 10-color pigment-based Ultra Chrome HDX ink system, which includes orange and green inks and can achieve black 1.5 times denser than earlier generations.
