The Epson SureLab D1070DE is a compact minilab printer built for small-format photo printing with built-in double-sided capability. It’s designed for photo booths, portrait and event photography, and retail photo counters that need fast, reliable output plus the flexibility to print double-sided photo books, greeting cards, and invitations. Buffalo Imaging serves professional print shops and studios with the equipment and supplies they need to keep production moving.
Built-In Duplex Feeder
The D1070DE ships with a Duplex Feeder built in, enabling automated double-sided printing on up to 100 A4-size sheets in glossy, luster, or matte finishes. This opens up applications the standard D1070 can’t handle, including double-sided photos, postcards, invitations, menus, and greeting cards.
Production-Class Speed
When printing on rolls, the D1070DE produces up to 460 4×6 prints per hour, built around Epson’s MicroPiezo AMC printhead and AccuPhoto image processing technology, using a 6-color UltraChrome D6r-S dye-based ink set for vibrant, smudge-, water-, and fade-resistant prints on Epson genuine photo media.
Ink Sold Separately
This printer does not include ink. It uses UltraChrome D6r-S dye-based ink in high-capacity, cartridge-free 250ml packs across 6 colors (Cyan, Light Cyan, Magenta, Light Magenta, Yellow, Black), sold separately — the exact same ink used by the standard Epson SureLab D1070. The dye-based ink is not archival, so this printer is best suited for fast-turnaround retail, event, and photo booth prints rather than long-term fine art display.
Compact, Easy to Operate
A front-facing 1.44″ LCD panel simplifies day-to-day operation, with automatic nozzle detection and alignment technology to reduce downtime. When a nozzle becomes clogged, the printer automatically switches to a backup nozzle to keep production running. The integrated output tray and compact footprint make it well suited for counters, booths, and tight studio spaces without needing a dedicated stand.
Connectivity and Fleet Monitoring
The D1070DE connects via USB 3.0, Ethernet, or Wi-Fi, with drivers available for Windows and macOS. Epson Cloud Solution PORT lets you monitor an entire printer fleet remotely, viewing production rates, printer status, and errors across multiple locations. A companion smartphone app also enables PC-free photo printing directly from a mobile device.

What is the Epson SureLab D1070DE used for?
The D1070DE is a compact minilab printer with a built-in Duplex Feeder for double-sided sheet printing. It’s used for photo booths, portrait and event photography, and retail photo counters that need both fast single-sided roll prints and double-sided products like photo books, greeting cards, and invitations.
What is the best Epson printer for double-sided photo printing?
The D1070DE is purpose-built for that use case, with a Duplex Feeder built in that handles up to 100 A4 sheets for automated double-sided printing. It’s the direct upgrade path from the standard D1070 if double-sided output is something your business needs.
Does the Epson SureLab D1070DE come with ink included?
No. This is a printer-only listing. The D1070DE uses UltraChrome D6r-S dye-based ink in 250ml packs across 6 colors, and ink must be purchased separately — the exact same ink used by the standard Epson SureLab D1070.
What’s the difference between the D1070DE and the standard D1070?
The D1070DE ships with a Duplex Feeder built in for automated double-sided sheet printing, which the standard D1070 doesn’t have. Both use identical ink, print heads, and roll-printing speeds — the D1070DE is simply the D1070 platform with double-sided capability added.
How many sheets does the Duplex Feeder hold?
Up to 100 sheets in A4 size, with a maximum thickness of 0.265mm. It supports glossy, luster, and matte finishes for double-sided printing.
Is the ink used by the D1070DE archival?
No. The D1070DE uses dye-based ink, which is not considered archival. It’s built for vibrant, fast-turnaround prints for retail, events, and photo booths rather than long-term fine art display.
Is the Epson D1070DE the best printer for a photo booth business that also sells photo books?
It’s purpose-built for that combination: production speeds up to 460 4×6 prints per hour on rolls, plus a built-in Duplex Feeder for double-sided photo books, cards, and invitations. Whether it’s the best fit depends on your specific volume and format needs, but it covers both single- and double-sided demand from one machine.
Is the D1070DE compatible with spindles from older Epson minilab printers?
No. It is not compatible with media spindles from older models like the D870 or D800. It uses its own spindle unit specific to the D1070 platform.
What connectivity options does the D1070DE have?
USB 3.0, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi are all built in, with drivers available for Windows and macOS. A companion smartphone app also enables PC-free photo printing directly from a mobile device.
Can I monitor multiple D1070DE printers remotely?
Yes, using Epson Cloud Solution PORT, which lets you monitor an entire printer fleet remotely across locations, viewing production rates, printer status, and errors from one dashboard.
