Epson America introduces its next-generation family of large-format color printers—the Epson® SureColor® T3270, T5270, T7270, T5270D, and T7270D. Available in both single- and now dual-roll models, the SureColor T-Series features the Epson PrecisionCore™ TFP® print head and Epson UltraChrome® XD pigment ink to provide technical, corporate, and marketing professionals an unprecedented combination of precision, performance, and brilliance.
“The next-generation of SureColor T-Series printers were designed based on direct feedback from customers who demand cost-effective, versatile, and scalable printing solutions,” said Timothy Check, product manager, Professional Imaging, Epson America, Inc. “The new SureColor T-Series printers not only meet the specific requirements of today’s engineering and scientific professionals, they incorporate the latest in printing technology to create accurate large-format prints well-suited for a variety of projects and applications, ranging from CAD drawings and GIS Maps to corporate graphics and retail posters.”
The Epson SureColor T-Series delivers extreme line accuracy with resolutions up to 2880-by-1440-dpi at incredibly fast speeds—producing a presentation quality D-size plot in as little as 25 seconds. (Note: Speeds are based upon print engine speed only. Total throughput times depend upon factors such as computer, file size, printer resolution, ink coverage, and networking. For the SureColor T3270, fastest print speed for a D-size plot is 28 seconds.)
For increased efficiency, the SureColor T-Series single-roll printers utilize a horizontal catch basket for enhanced output stacking, while the dual-roll printers feature a high-capacity catch basket for quick retrieval and reduced sorting time.
In addition, the SureColor T-Series 36- and 44-inch printer models offer an optional multifunction (MFP) module, enabling PC-free full color scan and copy capabilities—up to 36 inches wide—at best-in-class speeds for added convenience. In addition, ergonomic design with intuitive copy and scan-to-share capabilities ensures seamless integration to maximize workflow performance.
