Epson’s flagship 64” roll-to-roll signage printer, the SureColor SC-S80600, has won Pantone® certification with coverage up to 98.2 per cent.
“This is a very significant development for the durable signage market," says Craig Heckenberg, GM, Business Division, Epson Australia. "Outdoor material can finally be produced digitally with true and accurate colour. With the SureColor Signage range, prints can be produced with brighter imaging and a wider colour gamut than previously possible with either solvent or competing ink technologies."
The SC-S80600 has been designed for high colour reproduction on a wide range of substrates including vinyl, canvas, film and paper. It is part of a range of three models that also includes the cost effective SC-S40600 and the high speed SC-S60600. All feature high quality imaging with simpler, faster and more efficient operation. Prints can be produced using less ink and less power at faster production speeds and with significantly faster drying times. Jobs can be turned around in the same day at reduced cost and higher quality.
All models in the SureColor Solvent range feature latest PrecisionCore print heads and use UltraChrome GS3 Eco-Solvent ink. They support resolutions up to 1440x1440dpi and are driven with Epson Precision Dot Technology for precise and predictable output. The heads are self-cleaning and do not require regular replacement. The ink produces prints with an exceptional level of brightness and outstanding gamut range. For those who require maximum colour, the newly Pantone® certified SC-S80600 provides unparalleled performance.
Precision assembled using robots and laser welding, the SC-S80600 and its sister models feature a strengthened construction for increased stability and parallelism.
"We are extremely proud of this achievement and it is great to see the Pantone® label on another one of our printers," says Heckenberg.
