Epson is now strategically tapping deeper into the market with its launch of the world’s first ink tank system large format sign printers — the SureColorF-Series and B-Series. The launch, which increases the range of Epson’s large format printer products, will allow Epson to fly high in the fashion & textile as well as ad-printing industries.
Mr.Yunyong Muneemongkoltorn, General Manager, Epson (Thailand) Co., Ltd.said Epson large-format printers have long proved immensely popular among pre-press businesses, photo studios, and mini-labs. The products have also lately caught on in the industries of packaging, labeling and technical printing. These fields cover the printing of three-dimensional computer-aided designs (CAD), Geographical Information System (GIS) maps, high-quality prints for teaching materials and ad/PR works, and many more.“Today, Epson will be expanding its corporate-customer base even further with the launch of four models in the SureColor F-Series and B-Series. They are the world’s first ink tank system large format sign printers. The 44-inch SC-B6070 and the 64-inch SC-B7070 in the B-Series will enter the advertisement-printing industry. For the fashion and textiles industry, the 44-inch SC-F6070 and the 64-inch SC-F7070 are revolutionary as they come complete with roll-fed Dye-sublimation system. These fabric printers target fashion/textile/apparel entrepreneurs as they will cater well to new-generation fabric printing. Both models can work on various types of fabric for apparels, sportswear, and a great range of fashion accessories.” said Mr.Yunyong
Epson SureColorB-Series is designed for big-ad prints such as banners, posters, and signboards. Both the 44-inch SC-B6070 and 64-inch SC-B7070 printers come equipped with the Epson Micro Piezo Thin Film Piezo (TFP) print head. Such device is able to print at 720x1,440 dpiat the speed of 28.6 square meters per hour. Its 1.5-liter ink reduces the frequency of ink refilling.Its refill packs, meanwhile, can be stored for a long time without any drop in quality.
Epson SureColor F-Series features large format fabric printers for high-quality printing. With the Epson Micro Piezo Thin Film Piezo (TFP) print head, bothSC-F6070 and SC-F7070 models are able to print at 720x1,440dpi at a speed of 63.4square meters per hour with precise performance. They use Epson UltraChromeDS ink. Thanks to Dye-sublimation technology,this special ink creates outstanding images with vibrant colors, intense blacks, sharp contours and smooth gradations.
“Epson UltraChrome DSis the modern ink technology. Because fabric is exposed to its wearers’ skin all the time, Epson has placed a strong emphasis on safety. Epson UltraChrome DS uses Safe Pigment Formulation. Free from lead and fluoride compounds, it does not cause any skin irritation. Epson UltraChromeis resistant to alkaline and acid perspiration, and durable even with exposure to sunlight and cleaning agents. This special ink also provides extremely fast drying times.” continued Mr.Yunyong
The above four models are the first to be designed and all their components manufactured by Epson facilities. Customers thus can be assured of the devices’ high efficiency, high reliability and high quality. Equipped with high-capacity 1.5-liter ink tanks, these large format printers reduce the frequency of ink refilling. Entrepreneurs can enjoy low total cost of ownership from the availability of new ink refill packs.
Mr.Yunyong said, “Epson is confident that SureColor F-SeriesandB-Series will fast get good response from entrepreneurs. Sales are expected to soar on a continued basis too because Thailand has a large number of textile, fashion and ad-printing entrepreneurs. Moreover, Thailand will become a part of the Asean Community’s free market in the next two years. That means Thai entrepreneurs must upgrade their manufacturing capacity and efficiency to cope well with higher competition. Manufacturers will need to work on designs themselves or create their own brands so as to add value to their products and services or to secure competitive advantages”.
“The Thai government plans to install Thailand as the region’s fashion leader and the Thai entrepreneurs with good potential are now being pushed to tap deeper into export market. So, their products become more varied as they seek to respond to the different needs of customers in different markets. Their designs have also changed all the time to keep up with the trend.” concluded Mr.Yunyong
