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. 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.
* Epson does not provide a warranty on print durability and accepts no liability of any kind for fading or any other change in a print no matter how it is displayed.
Epson’s three (3) year print durability statement is an estimate only, based on accelerated testing by Epson in a vertical display orientation in simulated outdoor display conditions in accordance with ISO standard 18930 (Check out www.iso.org for further detail).
The estimated three (3) year print durability does not apply to prints incorporating Epson’s Orange, White and/or Metallic Silver inks and in particular, but without limitation, it will not apply to a print exposed horizontally to outdoor display conditions including sunlight and rain.
Actual print durability will depend on a variety of factors, including selection of media and lamination film, installation and application methods and environmental conditions. Exposure to factors such as high ultra violet radiation, high temperature and humidity and pollution will also affect print durability.
When selecting your media and film, Epson recommends you check with your media and film supplier for actual print durability in relation to its compatibility with Epson printers and inks. Some media providers, such as 3M® and Avery®, offer their own warranty in relation to image durability and you should refer to the relevant provider’s website for further details of that warranty.
