Epson printers have always been known in the industry for their excellent output quality. Recently, Epson Stylus Pro GS6000, the world's first 64-inch solvent-based large-format printer, has released a new standard for printing quality of solvent inks; meanwhile, it is nickel-free. The configuration of low VOC solvent ink and dual micro piezoelectric print heads has made a major breakthrough in environmental protection and printing speed. It is understood that there is TIPA's best imaging product award in the image area Oscar, awarded the Epson Stylus Pro GS6000 2009 best large format printer.
In general, large-format printers are used in several industries, such as the imaging industry, the printing industry, the advertising graphic design industry, and the CAD/GIS industry. The advertising graphics and video output fields all need good color expression to restore the original intention of the work; digital proofing in the printing industry also requires high-quality expression to ensure the consistency of proofing and batch printing works; in addition to the CAD/GIS field, In addition to the need for high-efficiency output, high output quality and operating costs are also required. It is enough to see that although different industries have different requirements for large-format printer products, the quality of printing is the most important consideration in each application field.
As we all know, to achieve high-quality output, ink's broad color gamut and high-precision printing capability are two points that must be considered. Epson Stylus Pro GS6000's new eco-friendly "live color GSTM" solvent ink products, in addition to providing cyan, magenta, yellow, black, light blue, light magenta ink, the addition of orange and green, 8 colors of ink The wide color space of the system constitutes an accurate color representation for both outdoor high-quality poster output, international brand-name light box advertising, and large corporate standards. In addition, "Living Color GSTM" solvent ink is also a must in terms of environmental protection. It is not only completely free of nickel compounds (nickel is a carcinogen), but also significantly reduces the content of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It is truly non-toxic and odorless, and it is not irritating to the human body, so it can be used in everyday office environments without the need for additional exhaust and ventilation systems.
The most outstanding advantage of solvent inks over aqueous inks is their good outdoor weatherability. After testing, Epson "live color GSTM" solvent ink has a good waterproof and light-resistant characteristics, even after the wind, rain, the sun can continue to show high accuracy, the graphics will not be destroyed, it will not fade. Epson's "Live Color GSTM" Solvent Ink's wide adaptability and excellent media handling capabilities enable the Epson Stylus PRO GS6000 to support an extremely wide range of media; along with the built-in "Triple Independent Heater", the wait for drying can be greatly reduced. Time, which helps to ensure consistently good print quality. In addition, Epson Stylus Pro GS6000 is still a further extension of Epson’s leadership in high-resolution inkjet printing with a maximum print resolution of 1440×1440 dpi.
Epson Micro Piezo Technology, known in the industry, controls the ink droplets by controlling the voltage. The new Epson Stylus Pro GS6000 also uses Epson's proprietary intelligent droplet conversion technology, which uses larger ink droplets in solid areas, Gradient and blended areas use smaller ink droplets to increase print speed and image quality: Drop size is 20.5 picoliters maximum and 3.7 picoliters minimum. Because the intelligent ink droplet conversion technology can squirt out extremely accurate ink dot shapes, it truly realizes exquisite images and particle-free printing effects of output products, achieving real-world quality comparable to professional image quality.
Since the solvent-based large-format printers are produced as production-type printers, it is easy to bring streaks to images in rapid production. The Epson Stylus Pro GS6000 features a dual-head design with two micro-piezo print heads working simultaneously, dual 8-column printheads, 180 nozzles per row, 360 nozzles per color, and twice the print speed of previous models At the same time, eliminate the phenomenon of stripes, to ensure high-quality print quality. The Epson Stylus Pro GS6000 has a maximum production speed of 25.2 m/h.
Epson Stylus Pro GS6000 solvent-based large-format printers, with an emphasis on the advertising inkjet and graphic output markets, can also be used in CAD/GIS, digital proofing, imaging and other fields. Previously, Epson’s large format printers had been the number one market share in professional imaging, artwork reproduction, and digital proofing markets. It was due to its high quality and accurate color expression. This time, Epson hopes to start from the Epson Stylus Pro GS6000 and expand the graphic advertising inkjet market, hoping to bring high-quality innovation to the advertising graphic printing industry through the improvement of printer quality, environmental protection, and printing speed.
