With the new SureColor SC-R5000 and SC-R5000L Epson introduced their first printers with resin inks (water-based resin inks).

These machines meet high requirements for quality, productivity, reliability and impress with their precise color reproduction.

With these UltraChrome RS inks, print service providers and agencies receive a high-quality, reliable printing solution.

The Epson Surecolor SC-R5000 / SC-R5000L Use An Odorless Water-Based Resin Ink.

With the introduction of the SureColor SC-R5000 / SC-R5000L large format series, Epson has expanded its range of signage printers to include two special solutions with water-based, odorless resin inks.

The new Epson R series fulfills even the demanding requirements of the printing industry for fast-drying, hardening resin inks.

The SC-R5000 / SC-R5000L combine Epson's years of experience in the areas of imaging, color management and media to create professional printing solutions.

With the now comprehensive range of eco-solvent, UV and now also resin printing systems, Epson offers solutions for almost all applications in the areas of signage, POS and interior design.

In Detail

The new 6-color UltraChrome RS ink set consists of odorless, water-based resin inks.

The prints are therefore suitable for use in the interiors of schools, hospitals, hotels, but also living rooms, shops, galleries and the like.

The bulk solution in the R5000 works with 1.5 liter ink bags and is suitable for medium-sized print volumes.

A hot-swap version with a double set of inks was installed in the SC-R5000L, so that switching from an empty to a full bag happens automatically without having to stop printing. automatically. This ensures more productive work.

The 64-inch (162 cm) wide printing device offers high performance thanks to its PrecisionCore Micro-TFP print head.

The temperature of three independent heating systems (pre-heating / plate heating / post-heating) monitored by four heat sensors ensures consistent color reproduction across the entire printing range.

The efficient drying and hardening process enables prompt further processing such as lamination, cutting, lamination and thus enables faster completion of the material, which significantly shortens throughput times.

The long-life PrecisionCore Micro TFP print head ensures precise, reproducible colors from the first to the last print.

Piezo print heads are also not subject to thermal stress, so that the droplet placement and size remain constant throughout the life of the print head.

If the head has to be changed, this can be done by the user himself. This reduces downtime and increases productivity.

The Advanced Auto Tension Control (Ad-ATC) offers precise positioning of the motif on the medium.

This makes it very easy to precisely place the prints on, for example, tiles, windows and wall coverings.

The good reproducibility of even difficult colors saves material, reduces the set-up time of a print and delivers high quality results quickly and reliably.
