Epson Unveils SureColor S7100 for Large Format Signage Printing

Epson announced the launch of the SureColor S7100, the latest addition to its next-generation lineup of large format signage printers. Building upon the success of the SC-S40600, which has achieved more than 11,000 units in global sales, the SC-S7100 is designed with a strong emphasis on reliability, productivity, ease of use, and exceptional print quality. 

The SC-S7100, a 4-color eco solvent printer, incorporates advanced technologies that enhance both user experience and output quality.

Key features of the SC-S7100 include:

• New Printhead Technology: The upgraded PrecisionCore Micro TFP printhead, measuring 1.33 inches wide, facilitates faster printing and an expanded print width in a single pass, increasing the number of nozzles from 360 to 400.
• Nozzle Verification Technology (NVT): This automated nozzle condition detection system alerts users to any issues, ensuring optimal printer performance.
• Improved Speed and Productivity: The SC-S7100 sports a productivity increase of 23.8% in default mode (Vinyl at 6-pass) compared to the SC-S40600, significantly reducing production times without compromising image quality.
• Larger Ink Packs: Transitioning from 700ml cartridges to 800ml ink packs lowers the frequency of ink replacements, while being 84% lighter and generating 91% less waste per pack, aligning with Epson’s sustainability goals.
• Robust Media Feeding System: Advanced media feeding technology ensures accurate media handling and reduces potential damage through enhanced tension control and a reinforced media feed roller.

“The SureColor S7100 embodies Epson’s ongoing commitment to innovation and dedication to supporting signage professionals,” Chris Davies, head of C&I product management, Epson Europe, said. “With its enhanced productivity, the SC-S7100 enables users to produce high-quality signage, ensuring reliable performance backed by UltraChrome G3 inks. With its robust capabilities, Epson aims to set the highest quality and reliability standards for large format signage printing.”
