Epson today introduced its most advanced SureColor® S-Series roll-to-roll solvent printers to date – the 64-inch production S40600, S60600 and S80600.

“Epson prides itself on listening to the needs of the market. Our customers know what they want and we applied their feedback when developing the new SureColor S-Series line up,” said Matt McCausland, product manager, Professional Imaging, Epson America, Inc. “The technology Epson has developed behind these new printers is stunning. As a result, print service providers will have ideal solvent 64-inch roll-to-roll printers available to get the job done right and on time – for any size print shop.”
Designed and manufactured by Epson, the SureColor S-Series feature Epson UltraChrome GS3 solvent inks for outstanding print quality, durability, and media compatibility, plus improved drying times to drive productivity. The flagship SureColor S80600 also incorporates an all new GS3 Red ink to produce vivid output with an expansive color gamut and outstanding color vibrancy, plus optional White or Silver ink, for best-in-class photographic output quality. When combined with the all new precision media feeding system and high performance Dual-Array PrecisionCore TFP print head, the SureColor S-Series redefines the price-performance equation, producing high-quality, sellable output at impressive production speeds.
