Bangkok--27 Nov--PRpedia
Epson (Thailand) today announced the launch of its latest printing version of Epson Stylus Pro GS6000, the industry’s widest color gamut for unparalleled output quality on nearly any solvent-based media. This is the very first printer specially designed for the outdoor commercial printing industry. In the Photo Fair 2009, Epson also announced success of its “Month of Pro” Campaign
Mr.Yunyong Muneemongkoltorn, general manager of Epson (Thailand), said the company is targeting to maintain its growth in the field of Pro-Graphics printers production and will try to maintain it on the same level compared to last year which is an 15-20 percent growth. Moreover, Epson has also injected about 10 millions baht into the “Month of Pro” campaign throughout the month of November in order to open new markets specially aimed at SLR camera users, photography lovers including organizations that tend to allocate their budget for forming their own graphic and media production teams such as hospitals, hotels, universities or even supermarkets.
Yunyong explained “All activities related to the “Month of Pro” campaign focuses on explaining and showing the capacity of the Epson’s graphic technology which doesn’t only meet the needs and satisfaction of the photographers who can’t wait to relish the chance to see their own creative work, but also generates wilder business opportunities in the future. It also helps all organizations of all sizes reducing the amount of money that they have to spend on outsourcing as well as increasing efficiency in media production”
He also added “the Month of Pro” campaign has received a good response, particularly in the 17” Wide Stylus? Pro 3850 that comes with the special discount and the free ink-coupon throughout the month. This model is very popular among users who love taking photos. Moreover, the “Month of Pro” also has produced a three times increase of overall monthly sales volumes since the opening of the fiscal year 2009. This success proves that the company’s commercial strategy is on the right track, resulting in the fact that more demand is successfully produced in the new markets”
Regarding the launch of the new product, Mr.Palawat Nakayodhin, Prographic sales manager of Epson (Thailand), said the Stylus Pro GS6000 is intentionally released into the market so as to penetrate the outdoor printing market in particular. This model is exclusively developed by Epson and achieves an extremely wide color gamut (up to 8 individual colors), resulting in signs that feature entirely new degrees of color fidelity and accuracy that are otherwise unattainable with any other eco solvent technologies on the market. Unlike other printers which offer only 6 colors, the Stylus Pro GS6000 also adds orange and green colors into its gamut which helps maximize profits while working with different kinds of printing materials (both for solvent-base and non solvent-base ones), specifically designed for solvent ink and suitable for all kinds of commercial printing for example, outdoor signs, cut boards, car stickers, constructions signs, graphic work in trade fairs etc, that need color fidelity and printing accuracy while being printed.
The printer’s new Dual-Array Micro Piezo print head has been uniquely engineered for the demands of two times high-production volumes. Eight-channel, high-performance, Dual-Array Micro Piezo print head produces a maximum resolution of 1440 x 1440 dpi with a droplet size as small as 3.7-picoliter and features a new ink repelling coating technology to dramatically reduce nozzle clogging
The Epson Stylus? Pro GS6000 is also one of the fastest 64-inch wide roll-to-roll printer in its class, with print speeds of up to 340 sq feet (31.5 sq meters) per hour for banner-quality printing, up to 180 sq feet (16.7 sq meters) per hour for everyday production and up to 91 square feet (8.4 sq meters) per hour for photographic signage output.
Epson UltraChrome? GS ink is a new generation of eco solvent-based chemistry that allows commercial sign makers to integrate safer signage printing technology without sacrificing output quality. Unlike competitive solvent technologies, Epson UltraChrome? GS ink delivers virtually odorless printing without the need for special ventilation or air purification systems. In addition, the ink does not contain Nickel (Ni) compounds, minimizing the harmful impact on the environment and employees. It is very durable and resistant to water and scratch with the out-door shelf life up to three years.
Palawat also pointed out “GS6000 will be launched into the market and priced at 990,000 baht. It will come together with Software RIP from EFI. This model will be aimed to attract premium clients who normally care about quality, environment and their own health at the same time and also want something that is easy to use and maintain. And most importantly, they are clients who seriously need the continuous and good after-sales services. With its product, Epson can meet all these clients’ need because the printers can work immediately after switching on and also offers many useful functions.
Epson’s eco solvent ink does not contaminate the environment which is unlike normal solvent ink; though they are available at lower price, they offer not very good quality. Even worse, a lot of clients frequently face problems on supporting suppliers and compatibility after using it for a while”
Additional features and benefits of GS6000 include a high performance media heating system which individually controlled pre, platen and post heaters for optimum media support in which temperatures are controlled via a front control panel or front-end RIP software. Superior connectivity is also provided. Its Standard connectivity includes USB 2.0 and Gigabit Ethernet port.
