Continuing the evolution of its SureColor S-Series line, Epson has launched its newest SureColor S8170 solvent printer at Printing United, calling it its “fastest 64-inch solvent printer”.
The company said with over 20 per cent faster print speeds and improved print quality compared to the previous generation, the new SureColor S8170 is one of the most productive sign printers it has ever developed.
Touting a compact and efficient design, it features the latest generation print head and a 6-color ink set to deliver outstanding image quality and productivity for medium to large shops producing signs, banners, stickers, vehicle wraps and more.
“In a sign shop, speed isn’t just about quick printing, it’s the backbone of efficiency. Faster output means jobs move through the print process efficiently, giving shops the ability to meet deadlines, handle high-volume orders and potentially acquire additional business,” Epson America professional imaging product manager David Bistrovic said.
“The new SureColor S8170 is one of the most productive sign printers ever developed and integrates features designed for productivity, without compromising quality. It maximises output, reduces downtime and offers sign shops the ability to increase ROI.”
Built to maximise production capabilities, the SureColor S8170 delivers the highest productivity of the SureColor S-Series product lineup, according to Epson.
Its 6-color UltraChromeGS3 ink set includes Light Cyan and Light Magenta, to help minimise banding, even at the fastest production speeds. The versatile, fast-drying ink set allows for same day lamination,and the ability to mix and match ink packs, available in either 800mL or 1,500mL,with hot swap technology that automatically switches from an empty ink pack to a new pack mid-print.
Featuring the latest generation, user-replaceable, PrecisionCore Micro TFP printhead with Nozzle Verification Technology and an integrated temperature sensor control, it also produces high-quality prints and consistent colour.
The compact, user-friendly design includes a precise media feeding and tension mechanism that offers stable media handling and accuracy for a variety of substrates including vinyl, banner, canvas, paper and more.
Its large 4.3-inch touch screen supports easy operation and gives print providers the ability to view and manage print settings directly on the screen.
Offering smart management features to improve performance, it also comes with a one-year subscription to ONYX Go Plus and includes Epson Edge Print Pro RIP software and Epson Cloud Solution PORT for production monitoring and fleet management.
