Epson announced new 64-inch SureColor® S-Series solvent printers with a bulk ink system — the SureColor S60600L and the SureColor S80600L. Enhancing productivity while supporting a low total cost of ownership, the SureColor S60600L features a four-color bulk ink pack system and the SureColor S80600L features a 10-color bulk ink pack system, providing double the ink capacity of previous generations for a remarkably low ink cost per milliliter and minimized waste when compared to Epson cartridge systems.
