Applications
The Epson Stylus Color 3000 was introduced in the mid-to-late 1990s as one of Epson's flagship wide-format desktop inkjet printers, aimed at graphic designers, photographers, CAD users, and small print studios who needed A2/B-size output without moving to a full plotter. Its 17-inch print width made it well suited for poster-size proofing, architectural drawings, photographic prints, and presentation graphics. The combination of parallel, serial, and network (Ethernet) interfaces — along with the BNC connection — made it unusually versatile for networked studio or office environments of that era, allowing multiple workstations to share the printer over a network or coaxial segment. Replacement ink cartridges (S020122/S020126/S020130/S020118) remain available from third-party suppliers, making this printer a viable option for legacy workflows, collectors of vintage wide-format output devices, or labs still running period-correct desktop publishing setups.
This Epson Stylus Color 3000 (P891A) wide-format inkjet printer is in good cosmetic condition and powers on. The unit was not ink-tested at our facility — we did not have ink cartridges on hand — so print output has not been verified, but the printer powers up and responds normally. Connections include parallel (Centronics), serial, network (RJ-45), and BNC, all of which are present and visually intact on the rear panel. The case shows light yellowing typical of this era of equipment, consistent with normal age and storage. Please review all photos carefully and contact us with any questions before purchasing.
