Epson is in Hall 5/Stall A01.

The Epson stall will have five zones – pre-press, sign and display, label, copy shop and technology, to allow visitors to focus on specialist demonstrations and applications and experience the significant business benefits each can deliver.

“Our commitment to R&D and continual improvement shapes everything we do. The industry will see the very latest results at Drupa, where we will demonstrate more professional inkjet printers and presses than ever before – all delivering the ultimate in production performance and user experience – and show how companies can use them to build successful businesses and enter new markets,” said Sunao Murata, COO, professional printing division, Seiko Epson.

In sign and display zone, Epson will showcase SureColour SC-S signage printers and SC-F dye-sublimation printers producing a selection of signage, display and décor products on a variety of substrates. Launched in January, the next-generation ‘class-leading’ SureColor SC-S series with new formulation UltraChrome GS3 inkset and permanent PrecisionCore printhead is impressive. Completely re-designed, the new series gives a choice of three printers from 4-11 colours (including red, orange, white and metallic silver) and productivity up to 95.3 sq/m per hour.

Epson has reduced the ink price for this new range, which, combined with significantly lower ink consumption, delivers a low cost of ownership and rapid ROI.

There will also be the latest range of SureColor SC-F models using UltraChrome DS ink to produce of soft signage, soft furnishing, apparel and promotional products.

The highlights of the label zone include Epson’s SurePress digital label presses. These include the single-pass SurePress L-6034VW with PrecisionCore linehead and LED-cured UV ink, featuring inline digital varnish and high-opacity white ink. The SurePress range also includes the seven-colour SurePress L-4033AW, ideal for high-quality, high-value, short-run jobs on a wide variety of substrates, including structured paper, film and metallic foils.

The copy shop zone will show a range of desktop-based production printers from the SureColor SC-F2000 direct-to-garment printer to the SureLab D700 inkjet printer enabling the widest variety of applications.

A particular highlight will be Epson’s new super-fast, photo-quality aqueous SureColor SC-P wide-format printers with the latest PrecisionCore MicroTFP printheads. The 64-inch 10-colour SC-P20000 was launched in March and the 44-inch SureColor SC-P10000 will be launched at Drupa.

The pre-press zone will feature the latest SureColor 24-inch SC-P7000 and 44-inch SC-P9000 printers with the 11-colour UltraChrome HDX inkset, incorporating a new violet ink. These printers use the PrecisionCore printhead to ensure the highest-quality output. They achieve 99% of Pantone-certified colours for accurate spot colour reproduction while large replacement ink cartridges (350ml and 700ml) are ideal for large print runs.

Epson invests over a million dollars every day on R&D to drive innovation, and in the technology zone, the company will display and demonstrate some of its latest technologies, including PaperLab, the world’s first instant office paper recycling system. This new system uses a dry process to recycle office paper and produce A4/A3 paper, business cards and coloured/scented paper.
