    Epson To Release Nickel-Free Printer
    Epson
    has made a breakthrough entry into the sign and display market with the
    launch of the Stylus Pro GS6000, a 64-inch eight colour photo quality
    printer that usues UltraChrome GS, a new solvent-based ink.The
    UltraChrome GS ink is nickel-free and has fewer harmful VOC (volatile
    organic compounds) than other solvent based inks. Prints made with
    UltraChrome GS ink are virtually odourless, eliminating the need for
    expensive ventilation and air purification systems to protect the
    operators.

    The colour accuracy is made possible by the addition
    of orange and green inks which significantly expand the gamut beyond
    the colour range of both 4 and 6 colour ink sets. Important corporate
    colours and ultra-vibrant images not previously seen from a solvent
    based printer can now be reproduced with the UltraChrome GS ink.The
    Stylus Pro GS6000 is equipped with a newly developed Dual-Array
    Micro-Piezo print head with 360 nozzles per colour for extremely fast
    print speeds producing variable sized ink droplets between 3.7 and 20
    picolitres, depending on speed and quality options selected.Unlike
    other solvent printers on the market which require daily maintenance,
    the Epson Stylus Pro GS6000 has been designed to further reduce
    maintenance down time. The Advanced Cleaning System built into the
    GS6000 maintains optimum performance of both the ink and print head,
    reducing the need for daily maintenance when the printer is in constant
    use.

    The Stylus Pro GS6000 has high capacity – 950ml – ink
    cartridges, efficient media handling capabilities, and no special
    dryers are required for printing.
    The  UltraChrome GS ink also
    accommodates a wide range of leading solvent media for a vast array of
    commercial printing applications, including indoor and outdoor banners,
    billboards, construction and barricade signs, retail point-of-sale
    display’s and photographic tradeshow graphics, where high quality
    images and precise, accurate colour is essential.
    Print speeds;
    o Up to 25 sqm/hour in banner-quality, draft mode.
    o Up to 15 sqm/hr in everyday production mode.
    o Up to 9 sqm/hour in photo quality, production mode.
    The
    Epson Stylus Pro GS6000 will be available from selected authorised
    Epson professional graphics dealers in October 2008 at a price to be
    announced.
