Epson has strengthened its offering by introducing new products to its commercial printing ranges.
The company has expanded two of its most prominent commercial printing ranges with the addition of new models: the SureColor SC-P6500E (single roll), SC-P6500D (dual roll with PostScript) and SC-P6500DE (dual roll) 60.9cm (24 inch) models, as well as the compact, mobile and cost-efficient SL-D500 photo printer that now forms part of the SureLab series.
Also announced is a new easy to operate 111.76cm (44 inch) fully integrated production printer with smart features and a six colour Ink Pack System.
The new products offer exceptional image quality (all products in the range use Epson’s six-colour UltraChrome Pro6 pigment inks, which now include an additional grey ink to broaden the colour gamut), low running costs, reduced carbon footprint and simple operation. All three models can print on a wide range of media types, including poster boards. Also announced, is a new easy to operate 111.76cm (44 inch) fully integrated production printer with smart features and a six colour Ink Pack System.
The SureLab SL-D500 provides users with an extremely compact, mobile and cost-efficient solution to the production of 10 x 15cm/9 x 13cm prints, along with a range of significant benefits over Dye Diffusion Thermal Transfer (D2T2) printers.
The SL-D500 has a reduced CO2 shipping footprint and requires less energy per print than previous models thanks to Epson’s unique heat-free technology. In fact, since the launch of the first SureLab printer over 10 years ago, Epson has consistently reduced their operating energy consumption from 500 Watts to just 18 Watts. Environmental sustainability is further enhanced by making the ink bottle carton box from 100% recycled material.
With very low power consumption, the SL-D500 is a low-cost solution for photo or double-sided card prints, small books and table calendars. Offering exceptional levels of image quality, it is ideal for complementing or replacing dye-sublimation printers in retail photo outlets or at events. The unit is also stackable, allowing for it to be used on countertops and ensuring it takes up minimal space.
The printer is an ideal choice for event photographers looking for a solution that provides easy, high-quality onsite production and can function using either a portable battery pack or mains power. It also features an integral transportation lock, making it highly portable.
‘While these newly introduced models are consistent with the reputation Epson’s commercial printing ranges have come to be known for, which is exceptional image quality, compactness, outstanding productivity, improved sustainability, and industry-leading printing technology, each model is accompanied by its own set of unique selling points with a fit-for-purpose printing solution suited to a variety of high-volume and intricate commercial uses,’ said Timothy Thomas, country manager, Epson South Africa.
