Epson Philippines Inc. has entered the outdoor commercial printing industry with the introduction of the Epson Stylus Pro GS6000, offering technical advancements that are poised to dramatically impact the commercial outdoor display market.

True to the Epson legacy of transforming the industry and changing the way people print, the launch of the 64-inch eight-color photo quality printer equipped with the first eco-solvent UltraChrome GS ink technology is expected to change the local market‘s perspective and standards in outdoor printing.

The innovative Epson UltraChrome GS ink is a new eco solvent-based ink technology with eight individual colors, including an all new orange and green. Using this new ink technology, the Epson Stylus Pro GS6000 can produce the industry’s widest color gamut for unparalleled output quality on nearly any solvent-based media.

The printer’s new Dual-Array Micro Piezo print head has been uniquely engineered for the demands of high-production volumes. The Epson Stylus Pro GS6000 is also one of the fastest 64-inch wide roll-to-roll printer in its class, with print speeds of up to 340 sq feet (31.5 sq meters) per hour for banner-quality printing, up to 180 sq feet (16.7 sq meters) per hour for everyday production and up to 91 square feet (8.4 sq meters) per hour for photographic signage output.

“The Epson Stylus Pro GS6000 represents a significant turning point for the eco solvent-based printing market,” said Epson Senior General Manager Ed Bonoan.

“We worked very closely with the industry for guidance to ensure that it exceeds the needs of today’s commercial outdoor printers. The result is a printer that helps sign makers maximize profits while gaining competitive advantages with superior quality, performance and reliability.”

The Epson UltraChrome GS ink has also solved a longstanding industry concern since the eco-solvent ink technology has significantly reduced impact on both the environment and worker health.
