Epson’s First UV Flatbed Printer Offers PSPs Outstanding-Quality Outdoor Signage and More

Committed to meeting the needs of today’s print service providers (PSPs), Epson introduced the SureColor V7000 — its first UV flatbed printer designed for printing outstanding-quality outdoor signage, promotional goods, and more. Delivering bright, colorful, tactile prints with low graininess and smooth gradation, the ultra-productive SureColor V7000 4’x8’ printer brings a new level of image quality, productivity, and convenience to PSPs. Capable of printing on a variety of rigid substrates up to 3˝ thick, the new Epson UV flatbed printer is a flexible, reliable, entry-level flatbed solution.
 
“The SureColor V7000 was specifically designed to address common pain points of flatbed printer customers — quality, productivity, and price — and allow PSPs to expand their business offerings with an affordable solution,” says Matt McCausland, senior product manager, Professional Imaging, Epson America. “The new UV flatbed printer offers high-end printing technologies, with a unique red ink never before seen in an entry-level flatbed printer and provides an easy and cost-effective option for print shops looking to expand from roll-to-roll printing to flatbed printing.”
 
Featuring 10-color UltraChrome UV Ink, including vivid red ink, gray, opaque white Ink, and eye-catching varnish, the SureColor V7000 achieves stunning prints on a variety of media. Designed to exceed flatbed printer expectations, the SureColor V7000 can produce color or three layer prints with little difference in production speeds by leveraging eight MicroPiezo printheads. The printhead alignment has been engineered to deliver variable droplets and accurate placement for bright, colorful, tactile prints with low graininess and smooth gradations. The printhead also includes a new circulation system for white ink to limit sedimentation and preserve printhead nozzle integrity.
 
Designed with ease-of-use in mind, the SureColor V7000 offers several usability features, including a pin registration system for quick loading and easy media alignment, a multi-zone vacuum system to keep materials securely in place, and automatic thickness adjustment to instantly accommodate media up to 3˝ thick. The SureColor V7000 will include the new Epson Edge® Print workflow software featuring an Adobe PostScript 3 engine for layout and print management, color management, and seamless workflow integration. Access to the Epson Edge Dashboard provides users with remote oversight and control of their Epson printer fleet.
