Epson introduces SureColor S7170 solvent printer

Epson announced the SureColor S7170 64-inch signage printer. Utilizing UltraChrome GS3 4-color solvent inks and Epson Precision Dot technology, the SureColor S7170 delivers consistent, high-quality output, the company claims. The SureColor S7170’s precise media handling system paired with a new, wider 1.33-inch PrecisionCore Micro TFP printhead with Nozzle Verification Technology ensures stable operation with faster print speeds. Additionally, a temperature sensor is placed closer to the nozzle plate to improve color consistency.

“Sign shops shouldn’t have to choose between quality and speed – both are essential for success,” said David Bistrovic, product manager, Professional Imaging, Epson America, Inc. “The new SureColor S7170 delivers these features at an incredible value. With impressive print speeds and versatile media handling, it efficiently handles a wide range of jobs on various substrates, allowing sign shops to deliver high-quality results with a single printer, offering incredible value and all in-house.”

A newly developed Ink Supply System replaces bulky cartridges with high-volume 800 mL ink packs, using 80% less plastic than cartridges to help reduce plastic waste and prevent frequent ink replacement, while improving print shop efficiency. Supporting a wide spectrum of media, including vinyl, banner, canvas, and paper to meet customer needs, it also offers a precise media feed and take-up system to deliver stable operation and printing accuracy for a variety of applications.

The user-friendly design incorporates a large 4.3-inch touch screen control panel to allow the operator to change print settings on the fly. It comes with a 1-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.
