Fitted with a 266Mhz RISC Processor together with a class leading engine capable of printing speeds up to 6ppm colour and 26ppm mono, the AcuLaser C8500 prints at an effective resolution of 2400dpi. Developed by the world's leader in colour printing, extremely high quality is achieved through EPSON's unique AcuLaser Colour Technologies.
