Spandex extends Hardware range with EPSON SureColor SC-S70600

Friday 21. December 2012 - Spandex now distributes Epson´s first large format roll-fed printer to support white and metallic inks simultaneously

Spandex, one of the world´s leading trade suppliers to the sign making and display industries, announces that it has extended its already comprehensive range of print and print finishing equipment with the EPSON SureColor SC-S70600.
The Epson SureColor SC-S70600 is Epson’s first 64-inch (162.6cm) printer to support white and metallic ink simultaneously, enabling creative print makers, specialist sign makers and professional display printers to expand their service portfolios.
High-quality prints are assured with the combination of Epson’s UltraChrome GSX Ink and proven Micro Piezo TFP printhead, which delivers clarity, fine detailing and smooth blends at resolutions of up to 1440 x 1440dpi.
The UltraChrome GSX ink-set, featuring light magenta, light cyan, light black and orange as well as CMYK, gives the 8-colour SC-S70600 the widest colour gamut of Epson’s SureColor range. The 10-colour model includes white and metallic inks to increase versatility. Both models achieve ultra-smooth tonal gradations thanks to the use of light inks, including light black ink for enhanced, neutral greyscales.
Users can cost-effectively print vivid colours, solid whites and special metallic effects on clear film, vinyl, canvas, photographic paper and a range of popular banner substrates, all at up to 64-inch (162.6cm) width. Prints are lightfast for up to three years outdoors without lamination*.
When using 8 colours, the SC-S70600 prints at up to 26.8m2/hour (high-speed mode), and at up to 4.0m2/hour with metallic ink enabled.
Thanks to a jack system at the rear, loading a new roll is a one-person job. Users can make feed adjustments while printing to optimise quality and reduce downtime.
Epson’s UltraChrome GSX Ink is odourless and nickel-free, and meets the requirements of the Nordic Swan Ecolabel. The printer is designed to be power efficient and is ENERGY STAR-qualified.
