Building upon the popularity of its SC-S40600, which has achieved over 11,000 units in global sales, the manufacturer said the SC-S7100 was designed with a strong emphasis on reliability, productivity, ease of use, and “exceptional” print quality.
A four-colour eco solvent printer that can handle media from 300mm to 1.626m, the SureColor S7100 features an upgraded PrecisionCore Micro TFP printhead, measuring 1.33 inches wide, which Epson said enabled faster printing, and an expanded print width in a single-pass, increasing the number of nozzles from 360 to 400.
It also features Nozzle Verification Technology (NVT), an automated nozzle condition detection system that alerts users to any issues, boasts larger 800ml ink packs, and a robust media feeding system that Epson said ensured accurate media handling and would reduce potential damage through enhanced tension control and a reinforced media feed roller.
The SC-S7100 also features a productivity increase of 23.8% in default mode (vinyl at six-pass) compared to the SC-S40600.
Additional features of the SC-S7100 include a text sharpness feature, which enhances the precision of small text printing, improving readability and the line width of white text for finer detail.
Also; a carriage temperature sensor that quickly detects temperature differences, enabling precise temperature compensation to minimise colour variations.
An LED lighting feature enhances visibility during print operations, enabling users to easily monitor the printer’s status, while users can also leverage the Epson Cloud Solution PORT to gain real-time insights into printer production statistics, equipment utilisation, and service information.
Finally, a 4.3-inch touch panel allows users to manage ink levels and other functions.
Chris Davies, head of C&I product management at Epson Europe, said: “The SureColor S7100 embodies Epson’s ongoing commitment to innovation and dedication to supporting signage professionals.
“With its enhanced productivity, the SC-S7100 enables users to produce high-quality signage, ensuring reliable performance backed by UltraChrome G3 inks.
