Commercially available from November, the 24-inch (0.61m) SureColor SC-T3100x succeeds the existing SC-T3100 and is an entry-level desktop printer that Epson said delivers “affordable and reliable performance” for poster producers, small POS businesses and those working in education.
The device uses a refillable ink system (140ml refillable bottles) rather than cartridges, for convenience and low running costs. Other features include Nozzle Verification Technology, to help prevent misprints, and Wi-Fi connectivity.
The 36-inch (0.91m) SureColor SC-T5400M, which is commercially available from this month, is a multi-functional, large-format technical printer with an integrated scanner/copier that features a simple top-loading operation.
Epson said this device has been developed for those working in construction and reprographics who require detail, precision and flexibility.
Old maps and blueprints that are usually stored as hard copies can be converted to electronic files and reprinted while blueprints can also be revised, manually annotated, scanned, and distributed, repeatedly.
Other features of the machine include a print speed of 22 seconds for an A1 image, a colour scanning throughput of 4.5ips and a mono scanning throughput of 7.5ips, the ability to directly scan and print from USB, a large capacity 350ml cartridge, and Wi-Fi connectivity.
Epson UK sales manager Phil McMullin said: “We’ve created technical printers to make businesses more productive. Whether it’s scanning detailed CAD drawings, or printing POS and posters, these printers are built to impress.
“Both the SC-T3100x and SC-T5400M technical printers fit seamlessly into most environments and allow users to print wirelessly from tablets and smartphones.”
Epson also recently launched the SureColor SC-F6300, a new dye-sub printer developed for textiles producers, photographic studios and promotional goods businesses.
