Epson sets up One Stop Signage Shop for Visual Impact

Epson will demonstrate multiple signage solutions at Visual Impact tailored to clients’ needs. The company says it will showcase ways businesses can reduce their equipment footprint in smaller spaces and exhibit the breadth and flexibility of print products and solutions.

“Due to the impact of Covid-19, businesses have opted to bring more print back to Australia. As a result, and to help businesses embrace this change, we have further expanded our print range to provide a solution for any requirement. Epson is also striving to further reduce wastage and water requirements. For example, we are placing more emphasis on inherently more efficient digital print processes for natural and synthetic fibres alike. You will see a range of these products and solutions on show and demonstrated at Visual Impact 2023 in Sydney,” says Craig Heckenberg, Managing Director of Epson Australia.

Kicking off the proceedings is the Epson SureColor T5760DM, which combines high-speed production with automated loading and integrated large-format scanning in a compact footprint. It is designed for companies who want to produce large-format colour drawings and posters in moderate to high volume. This model suits construction, education, retail and print-4-pay applications.

The Epson SureColor S80660L will be showcased, demonstrating its suitability to produce durable images with maximum impact and format flexibility quickly, easily, and at minimum cost. The S80660L suits any operation with a medium to high production volume and a structured workflow. It is compatible with various media and suits applications, including high-value large format photo imaging, PANTONE* certified POS and signage, back-lit displays and window decorations, wallpapers, surface finishes and décor.

Epson’s new resin range and the SureColor R5000L offers a low running cost and brings accurate and repeatable colour to a platform optimised for rapid job turnaround. The SureColor R5000L is designed to produce signage, décor and promotional material. It uses aqueous (water-based) ink similar to latex but formulated for enhanced scratch resistance and a lower curing temperature. Enhanced print durability is matched with enhanced mechanical reliability and a reduced running cost.

Also on the stand, the Epson SureColor V7000 UV flatbed printer, powered by eight PrecisionCore printheads and a new UltraChrome UV ink, delivers outstanding print quality and low cost of ownership on many types of media, including paper, film, board, corflute, vinyl, canvas, aluminium, timber and acrylic up to 80 mm thick.

Alongside these will be the Epson SureColor F6460 representing the company’s fourth generation 44-inch model and featuring enhanced image quality with faster performance and a simpler operation. The F6460 has been made to suit a wide range of production applications, from customised fabric and garments to quality décor and merchandise and premium hard and soft signage. It can be ordered in a 4c or 6c  version with a choice of colour sets and uses convenient 1.6L ink pouches. Prints are made on paper and transferred via a heat press onto material with a polyester base or polyester pre-treatment.

Epson will also be showing its latest solutions for direct-to-garment (DTG) and direct-to-film (DTF), including a brand-new model, the SureColour F2260.

Joining the Epson Australia team at the show this year will be Shuhei Sato – Epson Australia’s new Product Manager specialising in professional print solutions. Shuhei previously worked at Epson Headquarters in Japan and brings a wealth of knowledge regarding global trends within the large format printing space.
