LOS ALAMITOS, Calif. – July 14, 2021 – As demand for small-format photos continues to
grow, businesses are looking for a cost-effective way to deliver high-volume custom output
instantly. To meet that need, Epson today announced the SureLab® D1070 and SureLab
D1070DE Minilab Photo Printers – drylab printers built for high-volume photo and graphic
production. Designed for retail, event and e-commerce applications, the SureLab D1070DE
adds a duplex feeder to provide automatic double-sided printing on sheet media to use for
photobooks, greeting cards, invitations, postcards, and more. Ideal for the production photo and
graphics markets, the unique, modern design seamlessly integrates into workflows for maximum
profitability and enables businesses to deliver unique product offerings to customers.
“Small-format, tangible photography and graphics are just as popular as ever as people seek
out personalized photo products and localized graphics and stationery as mementos of special
moments and annual celebrations,” said Aaron Brill, associate product manager, Professional
Imaging, Epson America, Inc. “The SureLab D1070-Series supports a variety of production
environments, including photography labs, retail kiosks and gift shops. And with double-sided
printing on the SureLab D1070DE, applications can be expanded to meet an array of printing
needs previously unavailable in a small-format minilab printer.”

image processing technology and vivid UltraChrome® D6r-S dye-based ink technology, the
