If you’re looking for a wide format printer with the ability to print with white or metallic inks, the Epson SureColor SC-S80600 should be on your radar. Not only is it the perfect device for creating signage, displays and décor, but it also delivers extraordinarily precise and high-quality prints. The excellent colour and clarity afforded by this 10-colour printer is complemented by the availability of white and metallic inks, which it can print on a wide range of substrates.

Maximum creativity – multiple applications
The Epson SC-S80600 is a truly versatile printer. You’ll find yourself able to produce superb-looking prints on clear applications, such as self-adhesive vinyl, clear film and cling – and you might find it boosts your profits. According to InfoTrends, the market segment made up of clear, white, metallic and fluorescent is growing at a rate of 20% year on year. In the past, white ink was only available for UV printing – however, with the development of new technologies, it’s now available in eco solvent too. Customers are willing to pay a healthy premium for such prints – of between 24% and 89% according to InfoTrends – so it certainly pays to extend your range of offerings to include them, and may give you a revenue stream that other large format printers are not able to tap into.

Advanced technology for white printing
White ink has a reputation for being problematic. It has more pigment than coloured inks, which can make it thick and viscous – and if you don’t use the right white ink for your printer, maintenance can be difficult. However, given the expanding role white ink is starting to play in the market, Epson has tackled these issues to make white printing less tricky. The SC-S80600 has been designed to recirculate white ink so that it doesn’t go to waste when sitting idle. Furthermore, the white ink cartridge can be replaced with a flushing cartridge when you don’t need to use it – so there’s no danger of clogging.

The SC-S80600 has a Pantone match of 98.2%, white ink capabilities and features the latest generation of Epson Precision Core TFP printheads, with automated printhead maintenance. With it, you’ll not only boost your productivity but also your creativity, making it a worthy addition to your print room.
