Another highlight of the recent Sign & Digital show for me was a good look at the new Epson SureColor SC-806OO series printer which to me looks great and is more robust than previous models.
There are a couple of features that really interest me. First the additional colour inks including red; with over half of corporate company logos containing red this is a really useful addition. Secondly the fact that the white and metallic inks can be conserved by the fact that the cleaning cartridge is inserted as standard and then the white and metallic inserted as required thus reducing ink wastage.
Automated printhead maintenance and an ink mist collection system help ensure continued printing for maximum uptime. The Epson Ultrachrome GS3 inks also produce more vivid, faster drying prints, while using less ink than previous generations. The inks are optimised to create high quality signage of exceptional clarity.
