Epson is hosting its inaugural Large Format Product Expo in Brisbane on tomorrow and Thursday. This expo will showcase the company’s complete range of solutions in signage, photography, proofing, production, dye sublimation, direct to garment and technical printing.
The event in Queensland follows a successful similar expo in Melbourne last October.
Starting off the event will be a demonstration area dedicated to the Epson SureColor signage range. Epson says the eco-solvent printers have drawn acclaim for outstanding print quality and ultra-low running costs. The new range features Epson PrecisionCore head technology and a new UltraChrome ink set that delivers prints with unparalleled quality, brightness and colour gamut.
Also at the expo Epson will be demonstrating the flagship 64” SureColor SC-S80600. Epson says it can be used with a wide range of media and is suitable for many applications including durable signage and POS displays, wall finishes, vehicle wraps, labels and decals.

There will be an area showcasing the SureColor fabric ranger with demonstrations of the SC-F2000 direct to garment printer and the SC-F9200 64” dual head roll-to-roll dye sublimation printer.
The third demo area will show Epson solutions for premium photo, fine art, poster and graphics production, including proofing and packaging design applications. The SureColor SC-P9070 supports a wide range of standard and specialist media in roll and sheet formats. In the photographic and fine art space is the new 17” Epson SureColor P5070 and the Epson SureColor SC-P800. Just released, the SureColor P5070 represents a pinnacle in colour printing technology with an ultra-high resolution and an incredible colour gamut.
Still in the photo space are the SureLab SL-D700 and SureLab SL-D3000 commercial photo and photo merchandise printers, the former of which will be on display at the expo.
The final demo area belongs to the new Epson SureColor Technical range. This series is designed to address the needs of retail and business graphic printing. Epson says it uses a low cost 5-colour aqueous UltraChrome ink set to produce extremely cost-effective output on coated and uncoated stocks. Prints dry instantly and provide exceptional durability against abrasion and moisture damage.
Available in 24”, 36” and 44” Epson SureColor Technical printers can be ordered with optional large format scanner with print/copy/scan functionality, an ATU, and the same 320GB HDD/Postscript module offered with the Production range.
The Epson Large Format Product Expo is on March 8-9 at Warehouse Studios, 2/98 Wecker Road, Mansfield. It will be open from 9am to 4pm.
