Las Vegas (Sept. 10, 2024) – Building on the success of its acclaimed SureColor S-Series signage printer line, Epson announced the next-generation SureColor S9170. The new 64-inch solvent printer leverages an advanced 11-color ink set, including red, orange and an all-new green, to achieve an expansive color gamut and faithfully reproduce virtually any color, delivering over 99% PANTONE coverage.1
With the first-ever user-replaceable printhead in its class,2 the SureColor S9170 delivers consistent high-quality output and unparalleled productivity for small to medium sign shops, print franchises and e-commerce printers.
The SureColor S9170 made its worldwide debut at PRINTING United in Las Vegas, Sept. 10-12.
“Consistent, reliable color is crucial for industrial printers and sign shops to capture attention, accurately represent products, uphold brand integrity, and convey messages effectively,” said Matt McCausland, group product manager, industrial printing, Epson America Inc. “The Epson SureColor S-Series printers have built a reputation based on their exceptional color gamut. With the introduction of the SureColor S9170, we’ve combined this extreme color gamut with the latest imaging technology in a new modern, sleek formfactor to redefine expectations in signage printing, delivering a compact printer engineered for reliability, superior image quality, and enhanced production capabilities for sign shops.”
Offering the same expansive color gamut Epson is known for, the SureColor S9170 leverages UltraChrome GS3 ink, including red, orange and an all-new green, as well as opaque white ink which can be used on clear or dark substrates to add versatility and enhance color. The fast-drying ink set allows for same-day lamination3 and the ability to mix and match ink packs, providing print shops the opportunity to install either 800mL or 1,500mL4 of any color to best suit workflow needs.
The SureColor S9170 features the first-ever user-replaceable PrecisionCore Micro TFP printhead in its class2 with an integrated temperature sensor control for reliable image quality and consistent color – job to job, panel to panel. Encompassing a new sleek, compact, modern design with a precise and efficient footprint, the SureColor S9170 supports easy upkeep with automatic daily printhead maintenance and integrates with powerful management tools to streamline production, including Epson Edge Print Pro RIP software and Epson Cloud Solution PORT5 for production monitoring and fleet management.
