Superior Quality & Consistency

The printer incorporates Epson's latest PrecisionCore printheads. The heads employ Variable Sized Dot Technology (VSDT) to enable drops as small as 4.2 pl for smooth colour gradation with optimum ink application. While competing head technologies use heat to form droplets, Epson employs a patented MicroPeizo operation that is kinder on the ink for superior colour accuracy while also enabling extended head durability. The heads are driven by Epson Precision Dot Technology with an upgraded LUT and upgraded Half Tone Module for images with higher contrast and reduced grain. A new control dashboard application provides access to a library of optimised settings for common media types while new print modes provide superior results with special and custom substrates.** Additional new MicroWeave patterns enable output with higher uniformity and reduced banding at lower pass rates

The printer features a strengthened chassis that is robot assembled and laser welded for extreme parallelism. It features inbuilt levels to enable easier installation and increased adjustment to cope with uneven flooring. A new ‘Closed Mushroom’ paper path has been implemented in conjunction with an enhanced Media Feed System for superior tracking. The feed system features upgraded rollers and a new Advanced Auto Tension Control (ad-ATC) which intelligently and actively manages the various feed motors. The potential for media wandering and head crashes has been reduced while linearity and take-up accuracy has been improved. Print is more consistent, off-line processing is easier, and output can be produced for tiling applications.

The printer uses new Eco-Solvent UltraChrome GS3 ink. The ink has increased pigment density for brighter prints with reduced consumption. It features a revised formulation that further enhances the colour gamut (particularly in Magenta & Yellow) while significantly increasing gloss levels for prints that provide maximum depth and 'punch'. Using 4 colours it can produce a wider gamut than competing technologies with 6 or more and when applied in conjunction with Epson's new WIDE CMYK profile output can be achieved which exceeds the Pantone space. All colours have an un-laminated outdoor lightfastness rating of 3 years and as with the previous generation, GS3 is Nickel Free with a low VOC for minimum odour. Epson also now offers a special cartridge set for customers who which to produce material that has print durability warrantied under the 3M MCS Program#. Printers are suitable for installation and operation within a wide variety of environments including factories, shops and air-conditioned offices*.

Simpler & Faster Operation

The SC-S60600 has been designed for fast continuous production. It ships complete with an integrated Auto Take-Up and air dryer. Inks adhere to vinyl, canvas, film, photographic paper and banner substrates. Inks dry quickly to enable continuous roll-to-roll production and outgas rapidly for same-day job turnaround complete with lamination.** The printer supports single operator media loading with an integrated easy lifter and a platen release that is accessible from the rear. Media setting can be achieved quickly with auto skew correction and downloadable profiles. In-line flow regulators re-agitate the ink before it passes to the printhead to ensure more accurate and consistent colour density in environments which experience variable production volumes.

The printer features a new see-through platen with integrated lighting to enable direct progress monitoring. It ships complete with Epson Edge Print software and is compatible with a wide range of 3rd Party applications for customers who require advanced RIP functionality and/or workflow management. It also ships with Epson Edge Dashboard software that enables local/remote configuration and management. The software supports up to 10 printers and provides access to interactive user manuals, tutorials, firmware updates, downloadable media & print profile settings. The printer ships complete with an Auto Take-Up for continuous roll-to-roll production and can be configured to transmit status and error updates via e-mail.

Easier Maintenance and Lower Running Costs

The SC-S60600 has been designed to address the increasingly competitive nature of the signage market. It provides superior and more consistent output with faster job turnaround, reduced downtime and lower production costs. It features dual printheads that are enclosed in a new guard. The guard protects against media crashes while collecting dust that may otherwise spoil prints with smudges and miscellaneous ink drops. The printer incorporates a new Automatic Head Cleaning System that periodically engages a Fabric Wiper to remove ink and fluff build up. It also incorporates a new air circulation system that removes airborne dust and ink particles, collecting them in filters that are replaced every 3 to 6 months (along with the Fabric Wiper). Less print wastage occurs and there is a significant reduction in the amount of manual cleaning and maintenance.

The printer confirms Epson's corporate directive for cost effective and durable operation with minimum environmental impact. It consumes less power and less ink is used to produce superior quality print. Its uses a dual set of 700 ml ink cartridges that are also cheaper to purchase. Printers purchased in Australia & New Zealand are backed with a comprehensive service and support program with flexible ‘heads-‘n all’ cover that can be extended out to a total of five years.***


*Operation within an office environment requires air-conditioning with a high air flow. This print durability statement is an estimate only, based on accelerated testing by Epson in a vertical display orientation in simulated outdoor display conditions in accordance with ISO standard 18930 (see www.iso.org for further detail). Ultra violet radiation, temperature, humidity and pollution (eg NOX) all have a significant impact on durability. Actual durability will depend on a wide variety of factors, including media type, print mode, ink level, installation location and orientation. Epson does not provide a warranty on print durability and accepts no liability for fading or any other change in a colour, quality or gloss. When selecting media, Epson recommends checking with the supplier for ink compatibility, application suitability, and print durability. Some suppliers, such as 3M® and Avery®, offer a warranty on image durability with customers directed to consult the relevant provider websites for details.

**Printers ship pre-loaded with generic settings for major media types. Media specific print and profile settings can also be downloaded through Epson Edge Dashboard. While the library is extensive and growing users should not expect all media types and setting variants to be covered. Due to the nature of some media types full automatic setting is not always possible and Auto Skew correction cannot be used on film.

***Printers ship with a comprehensive twelve month on-site warranty. Parts and labour coverage can be extended using one or more Epson CoverPlus 1 and 2 year packages up to a total maximum total of 5 years (including the initial 12 months). All cover is conditional with customers directed to read our Warranty Terms and Conditions prior to Purchase.

#The MCS program is run by 3M. Customers who wish to take advantage of this program are directed to speak with their local 3M office about media compatibility, certification and workflow requirements.
