Superior Quality & Consistency

The SC-S40600 incorporates Epson's latest PrecisionCore print head. The head employs Variable Sized Dot Technology (VSDT) to enable drops as small as 4.2pl for smooth colour gradation with optimum ink application. While competing head technologies use heat to form droplets, Epson employs a patented MicroPeizo operation that is kinder on the ink for superior colour accuracy while also enabling extended head durability. The head is driven by Epson Precision Dot Technology with an upgraded LUT and upgraded Half Tone Module for images with higher contrast and reduced grain. A new Control Dashboard application provides access to a library of optimised settings for common media types while new print modes provide superior results with special and custom substrates. Additional new MicroWeave patterns enable output with higher uniformity and reduced banding at lower pass rates.

The printer features a strengthened chassis that is robot assembled and laser welded for extreme parallelism. It features inbuilt levels to enable easier installation and increased adjustment to cope with uneven flooring. A new 'Closed Mushroom' paper path has been implemented in conjunction with an enhanced Media Feed System for superior tracking. The feed system features upgraded rollers and a new Advanced Auto Tension Control (ad-ATC) which intelligently and actively manages the various feed motors. The potential for media wandering and head crashes has been reduced while linearity and take-up accuracy has been improved. Print is more consistent, off-line processing is easier, and output can be produced for tiling applications.

The printer uses new Eco-Solvent UltraChrome GS3 ink. The ink has increased pigment density for brighter prints with reduced consumption. It features a revised formulation that further enhances the colour gamut (particularly in Magenta & Yellow) while significantly increasing gloss levels for prints that provide maximum depth and ‘punch’. Using 4 colours it can produce a wider gamut than competing technologies with 6 or more and when applied in conjunction with Epson’s new WIDE CMYK profile output can be achieved which exceeds the Pantone space. All colours have an un-laminated outdoor lightfastness rating of 3 years and as with the previous generation, GS3 is Nickel Free with a low VOC for minimum odour. Printers are suitable for installation and operation within a wide variety of environments including factories, shops and air-conditioned offices*.

Simpler & Faster Operation

The SC-S40600 has been designed for fast and flexible ad-hoc production. It will output on vinyl, canvas, clear film, photographic paper and banner substrates in widths up to 64-inch (162.6cm). Single operator media loading is enabled with an integrated easy lifter and a platen release that is accessible from the rear. The printer provides faster job turnaround with Auto Media Setting, Auto Skew correction, improved production speeds, and quicker drying.** With low and/or variable production volumes signage printers traditionally suffer from pigment settling in the ink lines. This model features in-line flow regulators which act to re-agitate the ink before it passes to the print head to ensure more accurate and consistent colour density.

The printer features a new see-through platen with integrated lighting to enable direct progress monitoring. It ships with new Epson Control Dashboard software that enables remote configuration and management. The software supports up to 4 printers and provides access to interactive user manuals, tutorials, firmware updates, media & print settings. The printer ships complete with an Auto Take-Up for continuous roll-to-roll production and can be configured to transmit status and error updates via e-mail.

Easier Maintenance and Lower Running Costs

The SC-S40600 has been designed to address the increasingly competitive nature of the signage market. It provides superior and more consistent output with faster job turnaround, reduced downtime and lower production costs. It features a durable long lasting printhead enclosed in a new guard. The guard protects against media crashes while collecting dust that may otherwise spoil prints with smudges and miscellaneous ink drops. The printer incorporates a new Automatic Head Cleaning System that engages a Fabric Wiper to remove ink and fluff build up. It also incorporates a new air circulation system that removes airborne dust and ink particles, collecting them in filters that are replaced every 3 to 6 months (along with the Fabric Wiper). Less print wastage occurs and there is a significant reduction in the amount of manual cleaning and maintenance.

The printer confirms Epson’s corporate directive for cost effective and durable operation with minimum environmental impact. It consumes Less Power and Less Ink is used to produce Superior Quality Print. Its large 700ml ink cartridges that are also cheaper to purchase.
