Sign Digital UK Review: Widening large-format gamut
Epson demonstrated its Stylus Pro GS6000, a 64in large format printer with an eight-colour ink set. The machine is designed to offer the widest colour gamut in a printer designed for both indoor and outdoor applications. Colourgen is distributing the Epson Stylus Pro GS6000 in the UK.
Colourgen's managing director, Jeff Biggs, said: "For signmakers, the key benefits of the GS6000 are its reliability and ease of use. The inks are odourless so they will not need to worry about air purification. The printer itself does not require daily cleaning or maintenance, an issue that has historically put signmakers off solvent printers. In addition, the print head is included in the warranty, adding greater overall confidence for signmakers that their investment is very well protected.
"Simply having the Epson badge on the printer speaks volumes and the printer itself backs this up by having the best image resolution and colour gamut of any other solvent printer currently on the market. The overall combination of reliability, ease-of-use and high quality image output points to a real winner and Colourgen is delighted to be supporting the UK launch of the printer at Sign UK."
Epson UK senior business manager pro-graphics, Martin Johns, said: "We are very excited that Epson's knowledge and expertise in ink development and its core Micro Piezo print head technology have enabled us to develop solutions for production-oriented applications. The quality, flexibility, speed and reliability of the Stylus Pro GS6000 enables it to add real value to the highest-quality signage, exhibition graphics, point-of-sale, marketing and photo applications as well as making it ideal for fine-art reproduction."
