Epson Reveals Its Production and Industrial Print Strategy for drupa

Design & prepress

The latest models in the market-leading range of 24-64 inch width aqueous inkjet Epson Stylus Pro printers will demonstrate their considerable flexibility for prepress and in-house agency proofing, short-run display and package prototyping applications.

New ink technology

Epson has just launched the next generation of odorless and nickel-free UltraChrome GS2 Ink for use in the new SureColor printer for signage applications. As an expansion to its aqueous UltraChrome inks, Epson has leveraged its expertise in fine art and professional printing to develop UltraChrome D6, a unique, six-color dye ink system for the Surelab digital dry lab. Finally, for the label convertor market, Epson will demonstrate its first UV ink for printing to uncoated paper and film label substrates during drupa.

“Engineered for Print” principles

Epson’s new production print products and initiatives have been developed in response to feedback from the industry. They form part of Epson’s ‘Engineered for Print’ strategy, in which it commits to offer:
Performance: highly productive products with key features to help print businesses become more efficient
Economy: products that are economical in their use of paper, energy and consumables
