Epson expands SureColor T-Series

Epson is launching two new SureColor T-Series wireless multi-function printers with integrated scanners: the 24-inch SureColor T3160M and the 36-inch SureColor T5160M.

Based on current successful models, the SureColor T3160M and SureColor T5160M are new, multi-function printers that include an integrated scanner for accurately scanning blueprints and drawings, making large copies and sharing high-quality technical documents, according to Epson.

The company says the SureColor T3160M is up to 29 per cent smaller and the SureColor T5160M is up to 15 per cent smaller than competitor MFP models and conveniently fit into modern work from home and small office environments allowing for seamless team collaboration across CAD, architecture, engineering, and corporate graphics workflows.

 The 24-inch SureColor T3160M and the 36-inch SureColor T5160M also support copy enlargements and reductions, as well as enhanced tracing and offer highlight detection for scanning annotated blueprints, according to Epson.

With integrated wireless and Wi-Fi Direct connectivity, Epson says professionals can easily print from virtually anywhere in the home or office with a smart device or from a USB thumb drive and with their enterprise security features and protocol support, users can also print and scan directly to e-mail, network folder or USB drive.

Featuring an industrial-grade Epson PrecisionCore MicroTFP printhead for ultra-fast print speeds, the SureColor T3160M and SureColor T5160M produce accurate A1 prints in as fast as 34 seconds and 31 seconds, respectively, the company says.
