Printer manufacturer Epson’s 64 inch roll-to-roll signage printer, the SureColor SC-S80600 has now become Pantone certified.

The Pantone Certified Printer Program is a patent-pending, professional certification program which guarantees to the printer user accurate solid and process colour matching throughout the production workflow.

General manager, business division, Epson Australia Craig Heckenberg says the certification is a significant achievement for the durable signage market.

“Outdoor media can finally be produced digitally with true and accurate colour. With the SureColor Signage range prints can be produced with brighter imaging and a wider colour gamut than previously possible with either solvent or competing ink technologies,” he says.

“We are proud of this achievement and it is great to see the Pantone label on another one of our printers.” 

Epson says the SC-S80600 has been designed for high colour reproduction on a range of substrates including vinyl, canvas, film and paper.

The two other models in the range are the cost effective SC-S40600 and the high speed SC-S60600. The company says they all use less ink and power, at faster production speeds, and with faster drying times.

All models in the SureColor Solvent range come with the latest PrecisionCore print heads and use UltraChrome GS3 Eco-Solvent ink. They also feature Epson’s Precision Dot Technology which supports resolutions up to 1440 by 1440 dpi.

The SureColor SC-S80600 is being sold in Australia from $24,995 which includes a ‘head-n-all’ one year onsite warranty.
