- THIS PRINTER SHOULD NOT BE ON YOUR LIST TO BUY........ UNLESS.
I Run a full service photolab that does lots of prints EVERYDAY. I NEEDED ANOTHER printer that was fast AND did GREAT quality. I waited a long time for the Surelab D1070. It has not been all smooth sailing but overall it is a printer that will fit into any photolab, work well for event photographers or even work for a photographer that sells at craft shows IF you do a high volume!!
I have been a professional photographer and have run photolabs for over 39 years! My lab currently runs multiple printers and I need another printer to handle the high volume of 4x6.5x7 & 8x10 work I do as well as 4x8 greeting cards. Join me in my journey to get the NEW EPSON SURELAB D1070SE and what I have learned with it and about it.

I started my photography journey in 1985. For over 39 years, I've been working as a professional photographer. I've run a photo studio in Southern Alberta, Canada, for most of that time, offering a variety of services. Alongside the studio, I also own and manage a full-service photo lab that caters to my printing needs and those of other photographers.
In the past two decades, I've had the privilege of teaching and mentoring thousands of aspiring photographers worldwide. My aim has always been to assist them in capturing better images, finding joy in photography, and either starting or expanding their photography businesses.

Good day sir. I was wondering about the durability of the colors with the inks for this printer.
Great informative video. I've done tech work on Epsons for over 10 years and the employees that run the shops I use to service had very limited experience. To help prevent the problem of nozzles clogging, I would recommend to the managers, that on the days the lab was closed or that had low volume of work, restart the printer and run 2 or 3 nozzle checks each day, just to keep the ink moving through to prevent clogs. This did help and cut down the number of calls I got. Also since you have experience with these printers, I would also recommend cleaning the gasket around the capping unit once a week if you're not already doing that.
Thank you for this great informational video. I’m just a nervous photographer, but I have thousand‘s of photos. I have never printed out from my camera cards and iPhone. I’m looking for a good high volume printer for my home to help me print out all of these photos and then just keep printing as I need. What do you recommend? I was looking at an Epson Eco tank printer. I have a canon PIXMA, but the cartridges don’t hold much ink and it just becomes a pain because I can only print out about 10 photos before it needs ink again. It’s just irritating. I’m looking for something with a high volume capacity , that’s affordable and works!

I looked at the Eco tank for a project but heard a lot of horror stories about them. HONESTLY not sure how true they were because so many people blow things out of proportion. If you do get one run it like crazy for the first couple of weeks to see for yourself.
If I was going to get a consumer level printer I would look at the Epson P900. The quality is GREAT!!!
thank you for information! i have a question: how many 5x7 pictures can you print on one set of ink?
if you know close number great! if not, still, could you tell approximate(1000/1500/3000 etc) number of 5x7 pictures that it can produce on 1 set of ink?
im averaging around 200 actual pictures per day
im trying to figure out approximate cost per picture, and how long 1 set of ink will last(1-2-3weks etc).
First thing is that the initial ink that you install will not be a full set as it is used for the initial fill.
At this point I would have to guess on only 5x7's because I use my printer for prints all the way from 3.5x5 up to 8 x24. So I don't actually do just one size.
I received this information from my supplier when I bought the machine. According to what they have it takes 1 ml per square foot of ink to cover a print. So one square foot has 144 square inches. A 5x7 is 35 square inches. Each cartridge is 250 ml. So according to their numbers we would get 1,028 - 5x7's out of ONE cartridge. So out of all 6 cartridges (a full set) would be 6168 5x7 prints. You will run out of one color before the others but that is an average.
Hope that helps.
@@firstchoicephoto thank you so much for such a detailed answer.
im currently using epson et8500 printers. each printer prints on average ~1000 5x7 pictures per week. and usually thats when one of the colors(usually PB and GY) go down to 20%, i add more ink to fill it till the top. so i go through a lot if paper/ink each week. i do need speed, so i use “normal” quality. each picture takes about 37sec to print.
quality is ok, for what i do, but was thinking to boost up the quality a bit more, and this printer delivers it for sure.
just needed approximate numbers, to figure out the cost of switching all my printers to d1070’s plus paper/ink costs. and you helped a lot. thank you for your time good Sir:)
