Get More from the Epson SureLab D1070 with Darkroom Core and Pro
The Epson SureLab D1070 is a compelling professional printer for photo labs, sports photographers, event photographers, and other high-volume imaging businesses. It’s fast, compact, supports multiple media options, and produces the quality professional photographers expect from the SureLab line.
Now Darkroom Core and Pro make it even more powerful.
We’ve added direct printing support for the Epson SureLab D1070 in Darkroom Core and Pro 2026—including the versatile D1070 sheet feeder.
The difference isn’t simply being able to send a photo to the printer. Darkroom gives you a complete production workflow built around professional photography.
Print Different Sizes Without Constantly Changing Settings
A typical production day rarely consists of one print size.
You might need to produce 4×8 holiday cards, followed by 8×10 prints, then panoramic prints. Using a traditional Windows printer-driver workflow can mean changing settings as you move between products.
With Darkroom, those print sizes and products can be built into your workflow. Send the job and let Darkroom manage the output.
That’s especially valuable during busy production periods, when reducing operator steps can significantly increase throughput—and reduce mistakes.
Manage Multiple D1070 Printers and Media
Running multiple printers?
Darkroom can manage multiple printers configured with different roll widths and media. For example, your production setup might include:
- 5-inch, 6-inch, and 8-inch rolls
- Glossy and luster media
- Dedicated printers for specific products or sizes
- Sheet-fed products alongside roll printing
Instead of treating each printer as a separate manual workflow, Darkroom lets you build them into a coordinated production environment.
Easy Double-Sided Printing
The D1070’s sheet-media capabilities open up some interesting possibilities, particularly heading into the holiday season.
Darkroom supports the D1070 sheet feeder, making it easy to incorporate sheet-fed products into your workflow—including double-sided holiday cards and other specialty photo products.
That means you can move between traditional photographic prints and products such as greeting cards without leaving your Darkroom production environment.
Keep Production Organized
Speed doesn’t help much if you lose track of which prints belong to which customer.
Darkroom includes production tools such as margin text and index prints that can help identify and organize orders as they move through your workflow.
For a busy lab, school photographer, or sports operation processing hundreds or thousands of images, those seemingly small workflow tools can make a big difference.
A Powerful Combination for Sports and Team & Individual Photography
This is where the D1070 and Darkroom Core or Pro become especially interesting.
Darkroom’s template and package workflow is purpose-built for professional photography production. Sports and team & individual photographers can create products and packages, automate production, and efficiently process high volumes of orders.
Instead of manually creating individual print layouts in a general-purpose application such as Photoshop, Darkroom turns those products into repeatable production workflows.
Build the package once. Let Darkroom handle the production.
Built for Photo Labs, Too
For labs doing primarily order processing, Darkroom Pro adds another level of automation.
Darkroom’s Command Folder workflow can work with online ordering and order-entry systems to automate incoming print jobs. Pro can also manage multiple supported printers, giving labs the flexibility to use the D1070 for high-volume small-format production while continuing to route larger products to other printers.
That makes the D1070 integration particularly useful for labs modernizing their printer fleet without wanting to rebuild their entire production workflow.
Why the Epson SureLab D1070?
Epson designed the SureLab D1070 for high-volume professional production. It can produce up to 460 4×6 prints, 300 5×7 prints, and 165 8×10 prints per hour.
It uses Epson’s MicroPiezo AMC printhead and six-color UltraChrome D6r-S dye-based ink system for crisp, vibrant photographic output. The printer also offers roll and sheet-media options, a compact footprint, and Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and USB connectivity.
It’s an impressive production printer on its own.
Darkroom helps turn it into a complete photography production system.
