Under the theme “Your one stop signage shop,” Epson Australia’s stand at this year’s Visual Impact Sydney will demonstrate multiple signage solutions and latest direct-to-garment (DTG) and direct-to-film (DTF) printers.
Epson SureColor S80660L
“Due to the impact of Covid-19, businesses have opted to bring more print back to Australia,” said Epson Australia MD Craig Heckenberg. “As a result, and to help businesses embrace this change, we have further expanded our print range to provide a solution for any requirement. Epson is also working to reduce wastage and water consumption. We are focusing more on digital printing processes that are more efficient for both synthetic and natural fibres. You will see a range of these products and solutions on show and demonstrated at Visual Impact 2023 in Sydney.”
The Epson SureColor 5760DM is the first to get things started. It combines high-speed production, automated loading, large format scanning, and integrated loading in a small footprint. This printer is ideal for large-format posters and colour drawings in medium to high volumes. This model is especially suitable for applications in construction, education and print-4pay.
The Epson SureColor® S80660L (pictured below) is designed to produce high-quality images at a low cost. The S80660L can be used in any production operation that has a moderate to high production volume, and follows a structured workflow. It is compatible with wide range of media and suits applications including high-value large format photo imaging, PANTONE certified POS and signage, back-lit displays and window decorations, wallpapers, surface finishes and décor.
In Epson’s new resin range, the SureColor R5000L offers low running cost and brings accurate and repeatable colour to a platform optimised for rapid job turnaround. The SureColor R5000L is designed to produce signage, décor and promotional material. It uses an aqueous ink, which is water-based. However, it has a similar formula to latex. It offers enhanced print durability and lower running costs.
Leveraging Epson’s decades of colour and imaging expertise will be the Epson SureColor V7000 UV flatbed printer, which is powered by eight PrecisionCore printheads and a new UltraChrome UV ink to deliver outstanding print quality on many types of media including paper, film, board, Corflute, vinyl, canvas, aluminium, timber and acrylic up to 80 mm thick.
The Epson SureColor F6460 represents the company’s fourth generation 44″ model and features enhanced image quality with faster performance and a simpler operation. The F6460 has been made to suit a wide range of production applications from customised fabric and garments to quality décor and merchandise, premium hard and soft signage. It can be ordered in either a 4c or 6c version with a choice of colour sets and uses convenient 1.6L ink pouches. You can print on paper that is sublimated using a heat press to transfer it onto material with either a polyester base or pre-treatment.
Epson will also show their latest solutions for direct to garment (DTG), and direct-to film (DTF), including a brand new model, the SureColor F2260.
Joining the Epson Australia team at the show this year will be Shuhei Sato – Epson Australia’s new Product Manager specialising in professional print solutions. Shuhei has a wealth knowledge about global trends in large format printing and was previously employed at Epson Headquarters Japan.
