Epson is expanding its lineup of print cut solutions with the introduction of the SureColor S7170 Print Cut Edition. Designed to give sign shops the tools to expand capabilities and increase productivity, the new solution features the reliable SureColor S7170 64-inch roll-to-roll solvent printer, high-performance Summa S1 D140 cutter and intuitive software at an exceptional value. Providing a complete out-of-the-box solution, the new cost-effective print-and-cut system allows sign shops to take on a wide range of applications, from indoor and outdoor signage to stickers, banners, canvas prints, vehicle wraps and more.
“Small and growing print businesses need a dependable solution that reliably delivers high-quality output at productive speeds, with versatility across multiple substrates to expand application offerings and bring more work in-house,” said David Bistrovic, product manager, Epson America, Inc. “The SureColor S7170 Print Cut Edition meets these needs – delivering both print and finishing capabilities in one solution, enabling shops to streamline production, expand application offerings and scale efficiently without investing in additional equipment.”
The SureColor S7170 is a versatile solution that can reliably produce a variety of output, ideal for small sign shops who require flexibility to print on multiple substrates and scale their business without investing in higher production machines. Featuring a 4-color UltraChrome GS3 solvent ink set and Epson Precision Dot technology, the SureColor S7170 delivers renowned detail and color performance. Built on the trusted platform of the previous generation, the printer’s precise media handling system is paired with a wider 1.33-inch PrecisionCore Micro TFP printhead enabling faster print speeds. Nozzle Verification Technology helps to ensure stable operation, while a temperature sensor placed closer to the nozzle plate improves color consistency. A newly developed Ink Supply System replaces bulky cartridges with high-volume 800 mL ink packs, to help reduce plastic waste and prevent frequent ink replacement.
The S1 D140 offers a 54-inch cutting width and is designed with a focus on ergonomics and simplicity in usage. An extremely fast OPOS sensor system increases the speed by which registration marks are read. An efficient drag knife offers a pressure of 600 grams, enabling it to cut laminated designs and diverse media with ease. The sophisticated OPOS Xtra feature allows the S1 D140 cutter to process most intricate small sticker jobs with the highest accuracy. Combined with the time-saving barcode workflow automation for print and cut jobs, user intervention is drastically reduced, allowing for uninterrupted productivity.
“The combination of Epson SureColor printing technology and the Summa S1 D140 delivers a complete, end-to-end print-and-cut solution for graphics professionals,” said Bryan Timmerman, managing director of North America, Summa America. “Customers will benefit from the exceptional print quality, color accuracy and reliability of Epson printing, paired with Summa’s renowned cutting precision, workflow automation and productivity-enhancing features.”
