Epson debuts SureColor S9170 at PRINTING United

Epson has launched the next-generation SureColor S9170, making its worldwide debut at PRINTING United in Las Vegas last week.

The new 64-inch solvent printer leverages an advanced 11-colour ink set, including Red, Orange and all-new Green, to achieve an expansive colour gamut and faithfully reproduce virtually any colour, delivering over 99% PANTONE® coverage. With the first-ever user-replaceable printhead in its class, the SureColor S9170 provides consistent, high-quality output and unparalleled productivity for small to medium sign shops, print franchises and e-commerce printers.

“Consistent, reliable colour 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 colour gamut. With the introduction of the SureColor S9170, we’ve combined this extreme colour gamut with the latest imaging technology in a new, modern, sleek form factor 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 colour 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 transparent or dark substrates to add versatility and enhance colour.  The fast-drying ink set allows for same-day lamination and mixing and matching ink packs, enabling print shops to install 800mL or 1,500mL of any colour to best suit workflow needs.

The SureColor S9170 features the first-ever user-replaceable PrecisionCore Micro TFP printhead in its class with an integrated temperature sensor control for reliable image quality and consistent colour – 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. It integrates with powerful management tools to streamline production, including Epson Edge Print Pro RIP software and Epson Cloud Solution PORT for production monitoring and fleet management.
Epson says the SureColor S9170 will be available in early 2025.
