Epson Expands SureColor T-Series Line with New, Affordable Wide-Format Multifunction Models

Epson America announced two new SureColor T-Series wireless multifunction printers with integrated scanners — the 24˝ SureColor T3170M and the 36˝ SureColor T5170M. Based on successful predecessors, the SureColor T3170 and SureColor T5170, the new affordable multifunction printers include an integrated scanner for accurately scanning blueprints and drawings, making large copies, and sharing high-quality technical documents. Featuring a sleek design and compact footprint,¹ the SureColor T3170M is up to 29% smaller and the SureColor T5170M is up to 15% smaller than competitor MFP models² to conveniently fit into modern work from home and small office environments allowing for seamless team collaboration across CAD, architecture, engineering, and corporate graphics workflows.
 
“Customers working in technical fields have a unique need for large format copying and scanning with precise detail, precision and flexibility,” said Jacob Hardin, product manager, Professional Imaging, Epson America. “With the new SureColor T3170M and T5170M multifunction printers, customers are now able to scan blueprints, renderings, and technical drawings to share with colleagues or convert them to electronic files for editing and reprinting. As more professionals are working remote from home right now, these new models take up minimal space while still providing an advanced feature set for increased productivity.”
 
The SureColor T3170M and SureColor T5170M multifunction printers feature an integrated 600 dpi high-detail scanner with simple top-loading functionality for easy copying and scanning of blueprints, technical documents, renderings and graphics. In addition, it supports copy enlargements and reductions, as well as enhances tracing and offers highlight detection for scanning annotated blueprints. For easy document sharing, users can scan directly to USB drives, network folders, or scan to email to share documents with team members, including remote and on-site departments, vendors, and clients. 
 
Featuring an industrial-grade Epson PrecisionCore MicroTFP® printhead for ultra-fast print speeds, the SureColor T3170M and SureColor T5170M produce accurate A1/D-size prints in as fast as 34 seconds and 31 seconds,³ respectfully. The multifunction printers leverage UltraChrome® XD2 pigment ink technology for brilliant color, crisp lines, and smudge and water-resistant prints. Supporting a variety of media – including rolls and sheets – these multifunction printers deliver detailed output on a wide range of media types. Supporting integrated wireless and Wi-Fi Direct connectivity,⁴ professionals can easily print from virtually anywhere in the home or office with a smart device⁵ or from a USB thumb drive. Touting enterprise security features and protocol support, users can print and scan directly to email, network folder, or USB drive.
