The SureColor F9500 and SureColor F9500H models will replace the SureColor F9400 and SC-F9400H, offering significant enhancements in productivity, usability, and image quality according to the manufacturer.
Both available from October, the printers are said to offer a compact, space-saving design, reducing height by over 300mm compared to their predecessors and enabling installation in height-restrictive spaces.
A 4.3-inch touchscreen with a tilt function displays current printer status, including ink levels and media settings, while the machines achieve “significant productivity gains” with the inclusion of a new, larger PrecisionCore MicroTFP printhead, increasing productivity by up to 30% in four-colour mode.
The Media Lifter facilitates single-user operation, making setup simple and practical.
The SureColor F9500H model can be configured with orange and violet inks, which expands the colour gamut by 20%, delivering more vivid and smooth colours according to Epson.
Additionally, the printers support fluorescent inks, producing bright, vibrant sportswear, soft signage, and fashion applications.
The SureColor F9500 series can also process CMYK image data and output using fluorescent inks.
Other features include the integration of Nozzle Verification Technology (NVT) and Part OverLap (POL). These technologies automatically detect nozzle conditions and adjust print quality accordingly to ensure consistent and reliable performance.
Additionally, user-replaceable printheads can be replaced without special tools or service callouts, reducing downtime and maintaining high productivity, while the “bulk ink solution” features 1.6l ink packs containing 45% more volume than previous models.
“Epson is proud to introduce the SureColor F9500 and SC-F9500H, which embody our commitment to innovation,” said Phil McMullin, commercial and industrial head of sales at Epson UK.
“The new compact design, coupled with enhanced productivity and usability features, sets a new benchmark in dye-sublimation printing. Our expanded inksets deliver unparalleled image quality, while our advanced reliability features ensure consistent performance.
“These printers are designed to meet the diverse needs of our customers, from vibrant sportswear to high-quality soft signage, with efficiency and excellence.
“Epson is committed to advancing technology that meets the evolving needs of our customers. With the SureColor F9500 and F9500H, we are delivering a solution that not only enhances productivity and image quality but also supports sustainable practices.”
