E
pson has released a plethora of new additions to its portfolio of large-format signage printers.
The manufacturer recently announced the release of the SC-S7100 – a four-colour eco solvent printer – as well as the six-colour SC-S8100. They join the SC-S9100, which was released in time for its debut outing at Sign & Digital UK in February. One of the key features of the SC-S7100 is the inclusion of an upgraded PrecisionCore Micro TFP print head, measuring 1.33in wide,

to facilitate faster printing and an expanded print width in a single pass. It also includes larger ink packs, transitioning from 700ml cartridges to 800ml ink packs, lowering the frequency of ink replacements. The SC-S8100 achieves superior print quality with reduced banding levels and can increase productivity by 30% with the new, larger Precision core MicroTFP print head. With a compact height of 1,021mm, a reduction of 317mm over its predecessor, the SC-S8100’s transparent cover and low-profile

Chris concluded by saying that both printers embody Epson’s ongoing commitment to innovation and dedication to supporting signage professionals.

With a redesigned print engine and shuttle, the Ciervo H2500 achieves impressive productivity levels – up to 59m sq/h (635ft sq/h) in Production Mode – and delivers vibrant, high-quality results on applications ranging from banners and vinyl to corrugated cardboard and coated textiles.
implex has acquired the entire stock of the Octopus sign systems from Workshop 2,
including transfer of dies for future runs. The company has acquired Workshop 2, which will no longer supply the product.

The company has also introduced a single, solid finger allowing pictograms and logos to be cut through as well as over cladding of the post for ease of replacement in vandal-prone areas. Often specified by architects and designers as their preferred choice in wayfinding projects, Octopus is available exclusively from Simplex and to its sign company customers only.
Christine Polzin, head of sales North America, digital printing solutions at Agfa said: “These two new additions to the Ciervo family are yet another testament to Agfa’s commitment to continuous innovation and to providing a beast for every need”.
