Epson P5370 announced [P5300]

A new 17″ printer, coming in 2024.

Think of a robust commercial use version of the P900, with proper roll paper support, a cutter and a very useful paper cassette.

The new print head means that the P5300 should be much less picky about being used regularly than the P5000.
