Epson SureColor SC-Tx200 Series
Epson has launched a new range of high speed, four colour large format SureColor SC-T printers designed for a variety of graphics, CAD and GIS applications.
The range is aimed at the design, commercial print, copy shop, architecture, building, engineering, retail and education environments.
The new roll-fed SureColor SC-T range features nine models offering a choice of widths, productivity and scanning capability. Building on the success of the SC-T printers launched in 2012, the new 44 inch SC-T7200, 36 inch SC-T5200 and 24 inch SC-T3200 printers include enhancements designed to maximise performance within busy print production environments.
To increase productivity and allow the machines to be more flexble the SureColor SC-T7200D and SC-T5200D models feature double paper rolls with auto paper loading and auto switching between rolls.
The company has further increased the versatility of the printers by integrating a 36 inch wide colour scanner with the new multi-function 44 inch and 36 inch SureColor SC-T7200MFP and SC-T5200MFP models.
These are the first Epson large-format printers with a scanner that allows users to digitise large-format hard copies and scan-to-file, scan-to-email or scan-to-share with other SC-T printers. An A1 original can be scanned and printed in about 39 seconds. These multi-function printers are also available in either single or double-roll configurations.
To further maximise performance, the new SureColor SC-T range features ultra-fast image processing, optional 320 GB hard drive for significant print spooling functionality and secure networking. To ensure the printers fit seamlessly into design and print environments, PostScript support with dual 1.6 Ghz CPUs is available as an option on all the new SC-T printers to enable users to print multiple file formats, including large data-rich files, quickly and directly from leading design and CAD programs.
According to the company high-quality prints are assured by the combination of four colour UltraChrome XD pigment ink with permanent PrecisionCore TFP printheads to deliver precise, repeatable and long life performance. Supplied in a choice of 110, 350 and 700 ml cartridges, the ink has been developed to deliver the deep blacks and crisp, dense lines needed for detailed technical graphics, and the vibrant colours necessary for high-quality prints and posters.
‘The new generation of easy-to-use SureColor SC-T printers have been designed to deliver the ultimate in flexibility and production performance into busy design and print environments,’ said Duncan Ferguson, director C&I, Pro-Graphics, Epson Europe. ‘The ability to print onto paper and board up to 1.5 mm thick makes them ideal for a wide variety of graphics applications.’
The new printer will be shown for the first time in the UK next week at Sign & Digital UK 2014 29 April-1 May, Hall 2, NEC, Birmingham.
