Epson SureColor P5370 17-Inch Professional Photographic Printer: overview
The Epson SureColor P5370 is a 17-inch, 10-color pigment printer for photographers, galleries, print shops and design studios that want exhibition-quality prints from a compact machine. It uses a MicroPiezo AMC printhead with 180 nozzles per channel across 10 channels and prints at up to 5760 x 1440 dpi, with UltraChrome PRO10 ink including Violet.
Rolls from 8 to 17 inches wide feed from the built-in roll holder with an automatic cutter, and the paper cassette handles sheets from 8 x 10 up to 17 x 22 inches.

P5370 vs P7370: when to choose 17 inches
The P5370 shares the UltraChrome PRO10 ink family with the P7370 (24 inch) and P9370 (44 inch). Choose the P5370 when your largest print is 17 x 22 inches or a 17-inch roll and you want a smaller footprint; step up to a P7370 when you need 24-inch widths, larger cartridges or a stand-mounted production layout.
Is the SureColor P5370 the right size? DTG’s advice
“Which size should I buy?” is the question DTG hears most before a sale. For most print businesses our answer is 44 inches wide: it is the sweet spot. The most common mistake we see is buying too narrow. Almost every customer who buys a 24-inch printer and succeeds with it ends up upgrading to 44 inches, so if you expect your print work to grow, size up now.
The P5370 prints up to 17 inches wide. If you plan to sell prints larger than that, compare the 44-inch SureColor P9570, P9370 and P8570D.
Before you buy, DTG walks you through cost per print and cost per square foot for the work you plan to do. Call a print specialist at 656.232.1877.

Where can I see or buy a P5370 in Tampa, Florida?
Call DTG (Digital Technology Group) in Tampa, FL at 656.232.1877 to discuss the P5370, ink and media.
Is the 17-inch P5370 the right size, or should I buy a 44-inch printer?
The P5370 prints up to 17 inches wide. For most print businesses DTG recommends 44 inches, the sweet spot, and almost every customer who buys a 24-inch printer and succeeds with it ends up upgrading to 44 inches. Call 656.232.1877 and DTG will work through cost per print and cost per square foot for your work.
Is the 10-color ink set on the P5370 right for my work?
It depends on what you print. The P5370 uses 10-color Epson UltraChrome PRO10 pigment ink. Epson’s current P-series ink sets are 6-color PRO6 (P6570 and P8570 families), 10-color PRO10 (P700, P900, P5370, P7370 and P9370) and 12-color PRO12 (P7570, P9570 and P20570). Tell a DTG print specialist what you print and we will recommend the right ink set.

P-series customers at DTG print on photo papers (luster, gloss, semigloss, semi-matte, fiber and baryta), artist canvas (gloss, matte and satin) and fine art papers (smooth and textured). Ask DTG which papers and sizes fit the P5370.

Yes. DTG builds free custom ICC profiles for customers who buy the P5370 from DTG, matched to your papers and workflow. Call DTG in Tampa at 656.232.1877 for details.
How many prints will I get from the starter ink that comes with my printer?
It depends on what you print, since some colors run out faster than others. Light Black (gray) usually goes first, because it’s used across the whole tonal range, even in color prints. The wide-gamut colors last longer, depending on your files. From our installs here at DTG, plan on about 10 to 15 24×36″ prints before you need a new Light Black cartridge. If you print every day or every other day, buy a full ink set with your printer or soon after.
How much maintenance does a SureColor P- or T-series printer need?
Very little. You’ll change ink, load paper and replace the maintenance tank. We recommend cleaning around the capping station and printhead area about every 6 months. Do it a little more or less often depending on how much you print.
Why is my print a slightly different size than my file?
Print length can vary a little depending on your media and settings. Our video with Mirage on print length correction shows why it happens and how to fix it.
