Two new models of printer have been released in the UK: the Epson Stylus Pro GS6000 and the Sabur Ink Systems Gunsjet R4.
The GS6000 is said to be the first roll-fed inkjet device manufactured by Epson that is capable of producing prints without borders. Also available as an upgrade kit for earlier models of printer – the new technology can produce prints ranging from 300mm to 1,590mm in width.
Business development manager at Epson UK, Martin Johns, said: “The adaptation involves fitting a new platen to the GS6000. This allows variable positioning of recessed porous pads to catch the overprinted ink on either side of the media roll.”
Meanwhile, Sabur Ink Systems has launched three types of Gunsjet R4 printer. Featuring RICOH GEN4, an innovative print-head technology, the printer range can support widths of 1,900mm, 2,600mm and 3,300mm.
A spokesperson for Sabur Ink Systems, said: “We feel the Gunsjet range of printers will fit into our portfolio perfectly as the printer enables us to offer our growing customer base a wider and faster printer and enables the customer to print multiple rolls at the same time.”
Here at The Sussex Sign Company, we welcome the addition of new printing technology, which invariably helps us produce higher quality signs at a faster rate.
