Significant new functions added to its existing SureColor range of multi-function printers

Epson has announced significant new additions to its existing SureColor range of multi-function printers including a fully integrated 36-inch dual light CIS scanner with RGB filters, providing outstanding print and scan capabilities. Epson’s new T-series range of smart multi-function (print, copy, scan) printers provides highly compact, secure workflow solutions without the need for bolt on additions that spoil the aesthetics of the device or add clutter to dynamic workspaces. The announcement means that the SureColor range of MFPs is even better equipped to meet the needs of customers, in sectors ranging from retail and public sector, to education, construction and GIS production.

While the latest SureColor MFPs are similar in most respects, they feature key differences that will make them attractive to certain market sectors. Brand new members of the Epson T-Series MFPs include the T5700DM, and the T7700DM, both featuring a new red ink which is ideal for marking up CAD drawings and replicating shades of red for posters, advertising, and logos. This will make the new printers attractive to many markets, particularly independent AEC (Architects, Engineers, and CAD) users and large corporates, military, and education users, as well as new opportunities in poster production, copy shops and highly secure research and development businesses.

A further new addition to the Epson SureColor MFP range is the SC-P8500DM, which includes a grey ink to broaden the colour gamut for high-quality photo printing. This will give it appeal to a wide range of markets, from Point-of-Sale to local government, and it is particularly well-suited to GIS applications.

All new additions to the SureColor series share an enhanced range of quality, security and productivity improving features based on Epson’s unsurpassed experience in print technology. Highly compact, with the same footprint as Epson’s SureColor single-function printers, the latest SureColor MFPs are designed to provide a simplified scanning workflow that minimises the time spent printing and scanning. All printers feature a fully integrated CIS dual light scanner with RGB filters, which can not only identify and remove folds and creases from a scanned image, but also offer enhanced security through encrypted scanning to secure locations.

To deliver ultra-high print quality and exceptional print speed, the printers use Epson’s PrecisionCore MicroTFP printhead technology and 6-colour UltraChrome all pigment CMY, mK, pK inks, with a choice of either a red ink (T-Series) or a grey ink (P-Series) depending on business need or application. For more complex jobs, the MFP products are supplied with the latest PostScript & 960GB encrypted SSD as standard, while workload management can be improved through central tracking applications which include Epson Cloud Solution PORT, Epson Edge, and Epson Device Admin.

With paper paths that are designed to protect the printhead, and other internal components, from moisture and particulates, the T5700DM, T7700DM and P8500DM deliver reliable print quality, while reducing maintenance requirements and TCO.  The products are manufactured using at least 30% recycled materials and, as with all Epson SureColor models, operate with very low energy consumption.

“Epson’s SureColor range is known for its ability to meet almost any professional need, and for its unique blend of quality, reliability and cost-effectiveness,” said Bradley Venn, Product Manager, Commercial & Industrial, Epson Europe. “The addition of these highly compact and fully integrated workflow solutions will strengthen our reputation still further and open up additional applications in a range of new markets.”
