Superior Image Quality & Durability

The SC-S50600 incorporates dual Thin-Film MicroPiezo print heads. Each head features 720 nozzles per colour and provides support for resolutions up to 1440x1440dpi. They are driven with Epson’s Variable Dot Sizing and advanced LUT Technology, which further enhances resolution while ensuring accurate colour reproduction and superior half toning.

The printer features an advanced chassis that is laser welded for superior strength and rigidity. Movement and distortion is minimised, even at the highest operational speeds, to ensure lower mechanical stress, improved print accuracy, and reduced noise. The stand incorporates advanced media feed and take-up systems that intelligently work together to manage throughput and tension. Media stress is minimised, dot placement accuracy is improved, large images maintain accurate size and shape, while banding is minimised.

The printer uses Epson’s latest Eco-Solvent UltraChrome GS2 and GSX ink. These all-pigment inks incorporate no nickel or fluorine compounds for improved user safety and have reduced VOC’s for low odour. GS2 provides for a consistently dense finish with improved durability and light-fastness. With just CYMK it can produce a gamut range that is equal or larger than many competing technologies with 6 to 8 inks. Prints produced with GS2 ink are more resistant to scratching and fading and have a lightfastness rating of 3 years*. The optional 5-colour configuration includes GSX white ink that can be applied in conjunction with the other inks or as a separate layer, either below or above. Epson white ink features a significantly higher opacity than competing technologies.

 

Superior Production Flexibility & Speed

The SC-S50600 can be used to produce everything from posters, signs, banners, textiles, backlit panels, window displays and POS, to vehicle wraps, interior decorations, labels and exhibition displays. It will print on mesh, vinyl, canvas, clear film, photographic paper and a range of popular substrates in widths up to 64-inch (162.6cm). The 5-colour model can produce superior quality prints on specialist coloured and transparent substrates while also allowing for additional white embossing and improved half-toning on more traditional stock.

The SC-S50600 is designed for high volume continuous production. The 4-colour configuration draws on eight large and cost-effective ink cartridges with a total capacity of 5.6L (1.4L per colour). The 5-colour configuration features a total capacity of 6.8L with addition of two 600ml White cartridges. Both configurations are supplied with a high-capacity, reusable waste tank, a high-volume air blower, and an automatic take-up system.

The printer ships with a stand that supports media rolls of up to 40kg with variable core sizing. It has integrated lift assistance and a conveniently located platen lever that enables easy one-person loading. An optional Heavy Roll Media System can be added in place of the basic stand, to enable support for rolls of up to 80kg. To ensure maximum productivity and optimum workflow management, the printer can be left to operate unattended, with an automatic e-mail system that will advise of job completion and warn of operational or consumable supply problems.

* Light fastness rating is based on Epson in-house testing under ISO18930 conditions. The three year rating applies to GS2 ink only. White GSX ink has different properties and is rated for a maximum of 1 year under similar conditions. The actual durability and longevity of printed images can vary significantly depending on the substrate used, application method and display environmental. Epson does not provide a warranty or guarantee on the longevity or stability of printed images. Lamination is strongly recommended for situations where material will be placed in an outdoor environments &/or subject to wear and tear.
