Overview
A dual-roll production plotter for AEC drawing sets that also holds a color photograph
The Epson SureColor P6570D is a current wide-format inkjet built around the T-series engine, aimed at firms that push mixed workloads through one machine: bid sets and permit sets in the morning, a coordination sheet or a rendered board in the afternoon. It carries six inks — cyan, magenta, yellow, gray, matte black and photo black — which is the detail worth pausing on. That dedicated gray channel and dual-black setup is why fine linework stays crisp and neutral rather than sliding warm, and why a client presentation render holds skin tones and shadow detail that a four-color plotter tends to flatten. We haven’t measured this unit on our own charts, so treat color quality as promising rather than proven.
- Multidiscipline practices producing both technical drawings and color presentation work
- Print rooms needing near-unattended plan-set runs across two rolls
- Firms handling PostScript 3 and native PDF 1.7 workflows from CAD and Bluebeam
- Offices standardizing on one device for line drawings and occasional photo output
Epson rates normal-quality A1 output at roughly 120 prints per hour; real throughput depends on file processing and roll changes. If you never touch color, the step-down Epson SC-P6500D covers the same width more simply; if you need 44-inch width or heavier dual-roll capacity, look at the Epson P8570DR 44-in.

Ideal for: multidiscipline AEC offices and print rooms that mix technical drawing sets with occasional color renders and need dual-roll, near-unattended production.

What you should know
Key takeaways
- Current six-ink pigment wide-format printer on Epson's T-series engine, aimed at AEC technical output.
- Epson states an A1 rate of about 120 pph in normal quality — read as light-coverage line-drawing throughput.
- A dedicated gray channel plus matte and photo black keeps grayscale drawings neutral and site photos coherent.
- Handles PostScript 3, PDF 1.7 and ESC/P, with Ethernet, Wi-Fi and USB submission paths.
- Media thickness support runs 0.003"–0.031", covering bond through heavier presentation stock.
- For E-size volume, step up to the P8570DR or P9570; for near-monochrome plotting, the SC-P6500D is the leaner sibling.
Most wide-format work in an AEC office isn’t about color at all — it’s about a clean, unbroken 0.13 mm property line at 1:200, and a stack of D-size sheets that come off the roll square and legible. The Epson SureColor P6570D is built for exactly that daily reality: a current-generation, six-ink pigment machine sitting on the T-series engine, aimed at the office that plots permit sets in the morning and needs an occasional rendering to hold its color by afternoon.
What sets it slightly apart from a pure line-drawing device is the ink set. Six pigment inks — cyan, magenta, yellow, gray, and both matte and photo black — means the same roll of bond that carries your redlines can also carry a site-context image where skin tones and deep planting shadows actually hold together, rather than blocking up into mud.

Line work first, color when you need it
The everyday job in a civil or MEP shop is monochrome CAD output on plain bond, and this is where the P6570D earns its keep. Epson states an A1 rate of about 120 prints per hour in normal quality — a figure worth reading as sustained plot throughput on a light-coverage drawing, not a promise for every job. Add heavy ink coverage, mixed sizes, or a switch to a photo-quality mode and real-world output slows, as it does on every machine in this class.
The gray ink channel is the quiet contributor here. On grayscale drawings and shaded coordination sheets, a dedicated gray helps neutral tones stay neutral instead of drifting warm or green — the kind of tonal steadiness that matters when a reviewer is reading hatch patterns rather than admiring a rendering.

The color story, measured honestly
The difference a six-ink pigment set makes shows up where photographs live — in the last five percent of a saturated red, and in the transition through a twilight sky on a presentation board. We report gamut by measured volume on our own test media, not the 2-D marketing percentages the industry likes to quote, because a printer’s ability to reproduce a color is a three-dimensional question. Consult our measured-gamut hub for how the P6570D’s envelope compares.
Be clear-eyed about the tier, though. This is a technical-document printer that reproduces color competently, not a proofing instrument. If your work is fine-art or contract-proof color, the photo-focused Epson P900 or a graphics machine like the Epson SC-P5000 belongs in that conversation instead. For AEC boards and site imagery, the P6570D is the more sensible fit.
Estimate a set's plot time from the verified rated A1 speed — useful for pacing a bid-set deadline. Treat the result as a planning figure, not a stopwatch.

Computed from the manufacturer's rated 1,220 ft²/h. Real-world mixed sets run slower — treat this as a best case for comparing machines, not a promise.
Where it sits in the family
The P6570D is the 24-in-class color node in a broad current lineup. If you need width — E-size roll work, or dual-roll unattended running across sheet sizes — step up to the Epson P8570DR 44-in or the Epson P9570 44-in. If you want the same footprint without the color path and lean toward straight monochrome plotting, the Epson SC-P6500D is the closer-to-line-only sibling. Cross-shopping is fair too: the HP T520 33-in is a lighter thermal-inkjet alternative, and Canon’s Canon TM-240 33-in adds an integrated scanner if copy and archive duty matters. See the full class ranking for context.
The read
The P6570D suits the mid-sized architecture or multidisciplinary practice that plots a steady diet of technical drawings and needs credible — not critical — color for boards and site imagery from the same device. It’s a current machine, PostScript 3 and PDF 1.7 capable, with the six-ink pigment set that keeps grayscale neutral and photographs coherent. It is not the tool for firms whose deliverables are E-size civil sheets in volume, or for anyone doing contract color proofing. Match it to your true width and your real color demands, ask your dealer about local service response, and it’s a well-reasoned choice.

Gamut volume is the size of the reproducible color solid in CIELAB, computed with ArgyllCMS iccgamut. Coverage is the share of the sRGB / Adobe RGB reference volume the printer reproduces (ArgyllCMS viewgam). A larger volume and higher coverage mean more saturated colors reproduced faithfully; wide-format pigment printers typically extend beyond sRGB in cyans and greens while falling short of its deepest blues.

Straight answers
Is the P6570D fast enough for bid-set production?
Epson states roughly 120 A1 prints per hour in normal quality, which is competitive for a machine in its class on light-coverage line drawings. Heavy ink coverage, mixed sheet sizes and photo-quality modes will slow real throughput, so plan deadlines with margin.
Can it handle color renderings and presentation boards, not just line work?
Yes. The six-ink pigment set — cyan, magenta, yellow, gray, matte black and photo black — reproduces color competently for AEC boards and site imagery. It is a technical-document printer with good color, not a dedicated proofing instrument.
What inks and maintenance parts does it use?
It runs Epson’s six-channel UltraChrome pigment inks in individual cartridges, plus a maintenance box and an auto cutter blade as serviceable items. Confirm the exact SKUs for your region with your dealer before ordering.
How does it connect to a CAD and PDF workflow?
It supports PostScript 3, PDF 1.7 and ESC/P page description languages over Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi or USB, which covers common AutoCAD, Revit and Bluebeam submission paths.
Should I choose this or a 44-in model?
If your deliverables are frequently E-size civil sheets or you need dual-roll unattended running, the 44-in P8570DR or P9570 is the better match. The P6570D is the more economical footprint for firms whose bulk work is D-size and narrower.
What are its operating requirements?
It runs on 110–240 V, 50–60 Hz, within a 10–35 °C operating range and 20–80% relative humidity. Sleep-mode draw is rated at 2 W and off-mode at 0.3 W, which is modest for an office install.
