Following the launch of the SureColor SC S30600 at Fespa Digital earlier this year, Epson has further bolstered its wide-format inkjet graphics printer range with the SureColor SC-S70600, a 64in printer with white and metallic ink capability, and the SureColor SC-S50600, a 64in four-colour plus white machine. Both are debuting at Drupa where the company is also introducing the SureColor SC-T7000, SC-T5000 and SC-T3000 four-colour printers for CAD, GIS and POS applications.
The top of the range SureColor SC-S70600 roll-fed printer uses Epson’s UltraChrome GSX ink and the TFP printhead and has a resolution up to 1440 x 1440dpi and throughput of up to 27.3m2/hour in eight-colour high-speed mode, and up to 4.1m2/hour with metallic ink enabled.
The UltraChrome GSX ink-set includes light magenta, light cyan, light black and orange in addition to standard CMYK. A ten-colour version of the printer adds both white and metallic inks. Epson said the ink formula means that prints are lightfast for up to three years outdoors without lamination.
The SureColor SC-S50600 comes as a four- or five-colour (CMYK /CMYK plus white) roll-fed printer and uses Epson UltraChrome GS2 inks. It runs at 50m2/hour.
Both the new SureColor printers have a list price of 21,995 Euro (which includes the first set of inks).
The new SureColor T range machines print on coated and non-coated media up to 44in (SC-T7000), 36in (SC-T5000 ) and 24in (SC-T3000) respectively. They use the new UltraChrome XD Ink available in 700ml, 350ml and 110ml ink cartridge sizes. Shipping will start in the autumn and pricing will be announced closer to the time.
