Epson announced its first 24-inch dye sublimation printer, the SureColor SC-F500.
Epson has announced the new SC-F500, 24-inch, dye-sublimation printer, developed to help promotional houses, photo labs, clothing producers and copy shops increase customer choice through flexible, high-quality printing.
Epson explained that whether producing printed phone covers, mugs, mouse mats, t-shirts or cushions, the SC-F500 offers fast turnaround times, reliability and a low total cost of ownership (TCO) to small businesses, and it requires no specialist knowledge to set up, operate or maintain.
The SC-F500 forms part of Epson’s complete end-to-end printing solution, which includes inks, software and paper.
Features of the SC-F500 include Epson’s refillable ink solution (140ml bottles can be used even when printing), Wi-Fi connectivity, Media auto-switch (switch between cut sheets and roll media with ease), Epson’s LFP Accounting Tool and a 4.3-inch touchscreen.
Neil Greenhalgh, Product Manager, Epson Europe, said: “We’re excited to offer this dye-sublimation printer that’s set to open up new opportunities for many small businesses. This is our first 24-inch printer in our dye sublimation range. What’s most rewarding for us is to see just how many applications that are supported by the SC-F500 – the range of gifts and promotional items that can be produced is truly impressive.
“We’re also confident that the suite of new and enhanced features we’ve introduced, including the refillable ink solution, will help keep businesses running for longer, with little user intervention needed. That has to be a benefit to ambitious small business owners looking to steal a competitive advantage, without having to have specialist staff,” Greenhalgh added
