Overview
A 12-ink photographic printer that happens to live in an AEC office
The P9570 is a 44-inch aqueous inkjet built around Epson’s twelve-cartridge UltraChrome PRO12 ink set — cyan, light cyan, vivid magenta, vivid light magenta, yellow, orange, green, violet, gray, light gray, plus both photo and matte black. That inventory matters more than the 2400 x 1200 dpi figure. Orange, green and violet are the channels that hold a saturated site-plan red or a GIS hillshade without collapsing it toward brown, and the two grays are why a rendered dusk shadow keeps its gradation instead of banding into steps. Epson states the PRO12 set covers up to 99 percent of the PANTONE FORMULA GUIDE solid-coated standard; treat that as a manufacturer claim to verify against your own targets.
Understand what you’re buying. This is a graphics printer being asked to do AEC work, not a plan-set production machine. There is no scanner, no copier, no dual-roll autoswitching. Epson rates normal-mode output at roughly 16.7 m²/h — respectable, but a single roll means an operator when it runs out.
- Competition and award-submission boards
- Photorealistic renderings and BIM visualizations
- Color-critical GIS and utility mapping
- Client presentation sets on coated or photo stock
For daily bond-paper bid sets, a dual-roll sibling such as the Epson P8570DR 44-in is the more sensible tool.

What you should know
Key takeaways
- Twelve pigment inks including Orange, Green and Violet extend color where conventional CMYK plotters fall short.
- 2400 x 1200 DPI resolves fine lines and small callouts cleanly on both bond and coated stock.
- Matte black and Photo black let one machine move between permit drawings and glossy renderings.
- Epson states 16.7 m²/h normal speed — adequate for a studio, not a monochrome bid-set factory.
- 44-inch single-roll design; a dual-roll sibling like the P8570DR suits higher unattended document volume.
- Floor-standing at about 75 inches wide and 339 lbs — confirm print-room space before ordering.
Most wide-format printers marketed to architects are built to lay down black lines on bond as fast as possible. The Epson SureColor P9570 comes at the AEC world from the other direction: it is a 44-inch, twelve-ink photographic printer that happens to render technical work beautifully. Where that matters is the moment a rendering leaves the screen — the deep teatime shadows under a proposed canopy, the last five percent of a saturated sky behind an elevation — and holds together on paper.
For a practice whose deliverables are as much about persuasion as permitting, that reversal of priorities is the whole story. For a print room grinding out bid sets, it may be more printer than the job needs.

The ink set is the point
The P9570 carries twelve pigment inks — Cyan, Green, Gray, Light Cyan, Light grey, Matte black, Orange, Photo black, Violet, Vivid light magenta, Vivid magenta and Yellow, fed from the Epson T44H720, Epson T44P320, Epson T44P820 and related cartridge families. The additions that earn their place are Orange, Green and Violet, because those are precisely the hues that thin out first on a conventional CMYK plotter.
Where does that show up in AEC work? In coordination drawings and GIS maps that lean on color as data — a violet zoning overlay, an orange utility corridor — and in presentation boards where a client is judging the building before they judge the plan. We’d want to see the measured gamut on the exact media you print before making a universal claim, but the channel count alone tells you Epson built this for saturation the class rarely reaches.

How it handles technical output
At 2400 x 1200 DPI, fine-line reproduction and small-text legibility are not a concern here; hairline callouts and dense title blocks resolve cleanly. The two black inks — Matte black for bond and Photo black for coated stock — mean a set can move from a matte permit drawing to a glossy rendering without a compromise in either.
Speed is where you set expectations. Epson states a normal-quality throughput of 16.7 m²/h, roughly 122 seconds per A1 over a 44-inch roll. That is respectable for a photographic machine but well short of a production line built purely for monochrome plans. Add processing, drying and roll handling and productive throughput on a mixed set will trail the rated figure — as it does on every printer in this category.
Estimate plot times for your own run lengths.
One set: – · Weekly plotting time: –
Computed from the manufacturer's rated 1,311 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
Inside Epson’s own line, the choice is mostly about ink strategy. The SC-P9500 shares the twelve-channel photographic architecture and is the closest sibling to weigh against the P9570. If your work leans more toward straight document and CAD output than gallery-grade color, the P8570DR adds a dual-roll design that keeps a machine running unattended across mixed-size sets — genuinely useful in a busy print room. Cross-shop the Canon GP-4000 44-in if a fast document workflow with poster capability matters more than the widest possible gamut. You can see the full field on the 44-inch class ranking.
The read
The P9570 is a photographic printer that does technical work exceptionally well, not a document plotter that dabbles in color. If your practice lives or dies on presentation boards, renderings and color-as-data coordination drawings, its twelve-ink set — and especially Orange, Green and Violet — reaches where CMYK plotters run out of road. If your daily reality is high-volume monochrome bid sets and as-builts, a dual-roll or document-focused machine will serve you better and waste less. Match the tool to whether your deliverable is a permit or a persuasion.

Measured color
Color gamut, measured from the ICC profile
Measured on Hahnemühle Photo Gloss Baryta X 320 — the same paper we put every printer on, so the only thing that varies is the printer and its ink. Computed with ArgyllCMS from the paper maker’s ICC profile: real measured color data, not a spec-sheet claim.

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 P9570 still a current model?
Yes. It launched in October 2019 and remains listed and supported as of mid-2026. Epson has since introduced newer P-Series machines, so ask your dealer where the P9570 sits in their current stocking plan and what the parts-availability horizon looks like before committing to a multi-year service agreement.
Can it print ordinary engineering bond and vellum?
It can. Dietzgen 20LB Inkjet Bond Paper, 24LB Inkjet Bond Paper and 20LB Engineering Vellum are among the compatible media, along with the 24LB, 36LB and 46LB Inkjet Coated Matte Papers. That said, a twelve-ink pigment machine running plain bond is expensive capability used for a cheap task. If bond is 80 percent of your volume, look at a dual-roll production model instead.
What should I know about media handling before I buy?
This is the most consistent independent criticism of the machine. Reviewers and owners report loading difficulty with thicker stocks and with non-Epson media — paper being ejected, media damaged at the core, and jams tied to the closed-roll-cover requirement. One professional user documented repeated component failures and extensive service calls in a thick-media workflow. If you plan to run heavy fine-art or unusual substrates, test your actual stock on the actual machine before signing.
How does it compare to the Epson SC-P9500 44-in?
Both are 44-inch twelve-ink machines in the same family and both are current. The practical difference for most buyers comes down to which ink generation, driver and RIP path your color workflow is already built around. If you’re standardizing a fleet, keeping the ink set consistent across machines saves more in inventory and profiling time than any single spec advantage.
Does it do scanning or copying?
No. There is no scanner and no copy function. Firms that need wide-format scanning for as-builts or markup capture will need a separate device — or a multifunction model such as the Epson SC-P8500DM 44-in, which combines printing with an integrated scanner.
What accessories are worth specifying up front?
Three are worth considering at order time rather than later: the Epson Adobe PostScript 3 Expansion Unit if you’re submitting PostScript or complex PDFs from Adobe and CAD applications; the Epson Hard Disk Unit for job storage and reprints; and the Epson Auto Take up Reel Unit if you produce long continuous output. For closed-loop color verification, the Epson Spectrophotometer ILS30EP automates recalibration — worth it if you’re matching output across more than one printer.
