Supreme Imaging
The SureColor Production series features Epson's patented PrecisionCore Micro TFP head technology with a 2400x1200dpi resolution. Unlike competing mechanisms that are based on heat, the Epson print head uses an electro-mechanical movement that is kinder to the ink chemistry, for better imaging with more stable output. While consuming less power and less ink, it is also more accurate, flexible and durable. Micro-fine drop-on-demand nozzles enable precise dot shaping, placement and volume/density control for more consistent results with less wastage. Variable-size Droplet Technology (VSDT) enables superior half-tones and optimised colour density with minimum ink consumption. Ten active channels are driven by an advanced LUT (Look-Up-Table) and a 10 cartridge ink supply system to provide an enhanced colour range. Dedicated Matte / Photo Black ink lines ensures the maximum possible dynamic range is achieved on a wide variety of media types and there is no extra ink wastage. Self-monitoring, alignment and cleaning systems ensure predictable, consistent and reliable output with minimal user maintenance.
10 channel PrecisionCore Micro TFP print head
When Epson launched UltraChrome K3 it established a new standard for aqueous (water based) ink technology. Epson has created a new ink for the SureColor Production series, the UltraChrome Pro ink set which adds an extra black(grey) ink to give this printer 5 blacks and 5 colours which increases the colour gamut even wider than its predecessor. Using an all-pigment formulation, it produces prints that dry quickly to become water and scratch resistant with a high Dmax. Colour is stable in just 30 minutes and can remain lightfast for approx 60 years*.
The SureColor Production range is colorimetric calibrated during assembly to ensure that colour proofs/images from different printers of the same model remain totally consistent. The ink features a colour constancy level of less than DeltaE 1.0 so that prints remain visually consistent when viewed under different lights and lighting conditions.
Flexible and Easy to Operate
The SureColor P10070 is a floor-standing printer with a 44" (1,118mm) wide carriage and improved flexible media handling. It supports basic bond paper, photo paper, transparent film, translucent back-lit and specialist synthetic media. It accepts roll media via a spindle mounting with integrated tension adjustment and has a high-speed auto-cutter which will cut most stocks. The printer ships with one spindle that supports rolls with either 2" or 3" cores. Additional spindles can be ordered separately for environments that involve high volume work with multiple media types. An integrated barcoding system helps track individual roll consumption while also enabling rapid exchange with automatic re-configuration for different media types. The printer supports sheet media and has a straight through paper path for solid board. It comes with a retractable output basket as well as an optional Auto Take-Up system for roll-to-roll printing and off-line / automated post-production. The ATU supports forward and reverse winding to enable de-curling. The printer supports edge-to-edge printing on sheet and roll media and will print full borderless on roll stocks.
The new SureColor Production series has an advanced new Media Feeding System to ensure superior print quality, consistency and linearity at the highest production speeds. New compass tracks+ the media as it passes through the printer, taking snapshots of the back surface and adjusting the feed roller to ensure smooth & accurate movement. New inductive rollers work to ensure consistent tension and parallelism with a reduced tendency for velocity changes and skewing which can otherwise affect the output quality.
The SureColor Production range has been designed for professional and commercial applications. All models feature fast and flexible networking facilities. They have LCD screens with an easy to follow menu system and in-built help. The printer can be configured remotely and has driver software available to suit most operating systems. Ink cartridges are pressurised to ensure maximum output precision and feature an enhanced capacity for extended operation and a reduced cost per print. The printer confirms Epson's corporate directive for cost effective and durable operation with minimum environmental impact. It consumes Less Power and Less Ink is used to produce Superior Quality Print. Its large 700ml ink cartridges are also cheaper to purchase. Printers purchased in Australia & New Zealand are backed with a comprehensive service and support program with flexible 'heads-'n all' cover that can be extended out to a total of FIVE YEARS. **
* Accelerated testing of prints on specialty photo & fine art media displayed indoors under glass indicates light stability of up to 200 years for colour and 400 years for B&W. IMPORTANT: Actual stability will vary according to the media, image, surface treatment, display conditions, light intensity, humidity and atmospheric conditions. Epson does not provide any warranty or guarantee on the longevity of prints. For further details on light stability and image preservation please visit www.wilhelm-research.com
