Overview
A 36-inch print-scan-copy machine for the practice that wants one node, not three
The Epson SureColor T5770DM is a 36-inch wide-format multifunction inkjet: it prints, scans and copies in color from a single footprint. For an AEC firm that today runs a separate plotter and a separate wide-format scanner, that consolidation is the whole argument. Scan an old as-built at 600 x 600 DPI optical, mark it up, reprint it, and never walk it between two machines. The person walking between machines is not free.
Print resolution tops out at 2400 x 1200 DPI, and Epson rates normal-quality A1 output at roughly 120 prints per hour on the draft engine. It runs a five-channel ink set — black, cyan, magenta, red and yellow — which favors readable line work and coordination color over photographic depth. PostScript 3 and native PDF 1.7 handling keep it honest with real bid sets and Bluebeam output, and 9 GB of internal storage plus an optional 1TB SSD supports reprint queues.
- Small-to-mid studios needing plot, scan and copy in one box
- Redline and as-built workflows where scan-to-reprint is daily
- PDF/PostScript-heavy bid and permit sets
- Offices short on floor space for two machines
It is not the tool for unattended high-volume production or long overnight runs on a single sheet size — for that, look to a dual-roll model such as the Epson T7770DR 44-in. Firms wanting a wider non-scanning plotter should weigh the Epson SC-T5700D 47-in.

Ideal for: small-to-mid AEC offices consolidating a plotter and a wide-format scanner into one node for daily redline, as-built and copy work. Not the tool for: unattended high-volume runs or single-size production, where a dual-roll model like the Epson T7770DR 44-in earns its keep.
Expert analysis
What you should know
Key takeaways
- Single-roll 36-inch inkjet MFP that prints, scans and copies full-size AEC sheets on one device.
- Five-ink set with a dedicated red channel aids color-coded coordination and GIS drawings.
- Epson rates A1 output at 120 pph at normal quality; real plan-set time includes RIP and roll changes.
- 600 x 600 DPI CIS scanner suits line drawings and markups, not delicate color-original archiving.
- Copier resize spans 25–755% with runs up to 99 copies from the 4.3-inch walk-up panel.
- Step up to a dual-roll sibling if single-roll switching becomes the bottleneck.
Every mid-sized AEC practice eventually hits the same wall: the plans need printing, the field markups need scanning back into the model, and the person doing both is walking between two machines that don’t talk to each other. The SureColor T5770DM is Epson’s answer to that particular friction — a 36-inch wide-format inkjet with an integrated color scanner, built so a permit set and a redlined as-built can pass through one device without a second stop.
It is a multifunction plotter, not a production line. Understanding which of those two it is will save you a purchasing mistake.

Line work, text and the fundamentals
The engine prints at up to 2400 x 1200 DPI using a five-channel ink set — black, cyan, magenta, red and yellow. That red channel matters more than it sounds: color-coded coordination drawings, GIS overlays and MEP clash markups lean on saturated non-process colors, and a dedicated red widens what the printer can hit without muddying it through a mix. For monochrome bid sets on plain bond, the priority is clean fine lines and legible small text, and a photo-grade resolution ceiling gives you margin there.
Media handling covers plain, coated, recycled and glossy stock from the roll, so the same machine serves a permit set on bond in the morning and a presentation board on glossy in the afternoon. It carries 9 GB of internal storage, with an optional 1TB SSD available for shops that reprint the same sheet sets repeatedly.
The scanner is the whole argument
The reason to buy this over a print-only plotter is the integrated CIS color scanner and copier. Field redlines come back on paper; someone has to get them into the record set. Doing that on a device that also prints means one operator, one walk, one file destination.
- Scan-to-file: full-size color scanning at 600 x 600 DPI optical, straight into the workflow.
- Standalone copy: up to 99 copies with copier resize from 25% to 755% for enlarging a detail or shrinking a D-size to a check print.
- Walk-up jobs: a 4.3-inch LCD handles copy and scan without opening a workstation.
The honest caveat: a CIS scanner at 600 DPI is built for line drawings and text, not for archiving delicate color originals. For most as-built and markup work that is exactly the right tool. For a fine-art or historical-drawing archive it is not.
Estimate a real plan-set run from the rated A1 speed — then remember that RIP time, roll changes and collation live outside this number.
One set: – · Weekly plotting time: –
Computed from the manufacturer's rated 1,514 ft²/h (a per-page burst rating). Real-world mixed sets run slower — treat this as a best case for comparing machines, not a promise.
Where it fits in the family — and where it doesn't
If you need the same MFP capability but wider media, the family runs up to the Epson SC-T7200D, a scanner-equipped model for larger sheets. If your volume is high enough that a single roll becomes the bottleneck — constant switching between bond and coated, or between two sizes — a dual-roll model like the Epson SureColor T5270DR 36-in keeps the machine fed without an operator standing by. Print-only shops that don’t need the scanner should look at the Epson SC-T5700D 36-in and put the saved footprint elsewhere.
Cross-shop it honestly against Canon’s MFP-class machines such as the Canon GP-4000 44-in before you commit; the class ranking shows where each lands.
The read
The T5770DM earns its place when scanning and copying are genuinely part of your day, not an afterthought. Consolidating print and scan onto one node cuts operator minutes and one whole machine’s footprint — and money is minutes. Choose it if you’re a mid-sized architecture or MEP practice that reprints, copies and scans full-size sheets daily on a single roll. Choose a dual-roll sibling like the T5270DR 36-in if roll-swapping is your bottleneck, and a print-only model if the scanner would gather dust.

Questions
Straight answers
What size drawings can it print and scan?
It prints up to A0 (33″ x 47″, 841 x 1189 mm) from the roll, and the integrated color scanner handles full-size originals at 600 x 600 DPI optical resolution.
Does the red ink channel actually help engineering work?
Yes. Alongside black, cyan, magenta and yellow, the dedicated red channel helps reproduce saturated non-process colors used in coordination drawings, MEP markups and GIS maps without muddying them through a color mix.
Is the scanner good enough to replace a dedicated wide-format scanner?
For line drawings, redlines and as-built markups at 600 x 600 DPI, it consolidates scanning onto one device effectively. For archiving fragile color or fine-art originals, a purpose-built scanner is a better fit.
Can it run standalone copies without a computer?
Yes. The 4.3-inch LCD supports walk-up copying up to 99 copies with resize from 25% to 755%, so an operator can shrink or enlarge sheets without opening a workstation.
Should I consider a dual-roll model instead?
If you constantly switch between media types or sizes, a dual-roll sibling like the Epson SureColor T5270DR 47-in keeps the machine fed without manual roll changes. This model is single-roll and better suited to steadier media use.
What consumables and options should I budget for?
Plan for the Epson Maintenance Box (Tx700/Px500) or Borderless Maintenance Box and the Epson Auto Cutter Blade as wear items. An optional Epson 1TB SSD is available for shops that reprint the same sheet sets repeatedly.
