Any news from Epson new line of large format printers(inkjet) everybody?
-
Hi from germany
I have asked my contacts at licensed Epson Partners, they have no insight in any NEW product line
since there is the SC-S70600 with 10 Individual inks for fine wideformat printing
also the "Old" Epson Stylus Pro 9890 is still available
then the Epson Stylus Pro 11880 is also still available
the "new" precisioncore printheads will show maybe next year on wide format and maybe in 2 years in desktop size (R3000 3880 successor) as replacement my guess

Those that know can't say. Those that don't know will say anything (so ignore it).

The Sure color series is more for vinyl and signage not for fine art. Epson's focus lately has been on solvent printers and they have made some great improvements on these units. Just too much for me to make the initial investment and they only work on solvent prep'd media, so all current fine art papers will not work.
Hopefully Epson will come around eventually and figure out a head, that will improve the following;
1. Gloss differential (which on the 9900 on most glossy papers is very troublesome)
2. Better control of Edit bronzing ( very evident on Canson Platine with blues when prints are held to light and you move the print, you can see a red shift to the blues)
3. Head design that will allow for no need to switch inks for PK and MK
4. Improved ink flow control (to eliminate the 100% losses of individual color channels especially after PK to MK or MK to PK switching)
Note, all of these are nits, as the 9900 in general has been an excellent printer for my business.

On the recent Fespa (silkscreen, sign etc show) the main Epson news was very reduced pricing on existing models.
The SureColor range is not just (Eco)solvent models but there is also the Surecolor T-series for the CAD market. 4 color, MK + PK, waterbased Ultrachrome XD pigmented ink.
