Epson has unveiled two new 44 inch dye-sublimation printers – the SureColor SC-F6460 and SC-F6460H which are expected to be in Australia in November 2022.
The standard SC-F6460 delivers enhanced colour gamut with better gradation and a significant speed improvement over its predecessor with a standard four-colour inkset, while the SC-F6460H offers enhanced efficiency and features a new six-colour inkset that is configurable for a choice of production applications.
In short, the SC-F6460 has been optimised for speed while the SC-F6460H has been optimised for image quality and function, Epson says.
Both printers feature a new pouch-based ink system and are powered by Epson’s latest PrecisionCore printhead which Epson says is 33 per cent larger than the previous model for faster ‘raw’ output. Its ultra-fine nozzles support up to 600 x 1200 dpi with variable dot size technology. Epson says this upgraded precision dot technology enables superior quality to be achieved at lower pass rates.
Key features of the SC-F6460 and the SC-F6460H
- Bulk ink system using simple tray-load 1.6 litre pouches for reduced mess, reduced waste and ink that stays fresh for up to 12 months in the machine
- Significant improvement in image quality with a wider gamut and better gradation
- Significant improvement in speed with a 20% ‘raw’ increase and sellable production that is up to twice as fast as that of the predecessor model
- Simple and easy to operate with a new 4.3” touch display, Edge Print PRO software and integrated support for Epson Cloud Solution PORT
- The SC-F6460H variant can be configured with a choice of three extended ink sets – OrVi for gamut maximisation, LcLm for gradation maximisation or FyFp for brightness maximisation (fluorescent output)
