SC-S80600 Series/SC-S80600L Series/SC-S60600 Series/SC-S60600L Series/SC-S40600 Series User's Guide

Features

This large-format color ink jet printer supports roll
media 1626 mm (64 inches) in width. The main features
of this printer are described below.

Realizing High Productivity

Triple Heaters
The three heaters listed below support improved
productivity and print quality.
The pre-heater: Warms media before printing to protect
the print area from sudden changes in temperature.
The platen heater: Ensures that the ink adheres evenly.
The after heater: Can be used to rapidly dry ink after
printing.
Media Feeding Unit Accommodates up to 45 kg Rolls
The Media Feeding Unit can handle high-capacity rolls
with external diameters of up to 250 mm and weights of
up to 45 kg ensuring that media requires less frequent
replacement.
Auto Take-up Reel Unit Comes Standard
The auto take-up reel unit automatically takes up
printed media cleanly, with no wrinkles. You'll find it
comes in handy for banner printing, high-volume print
jobs, and continuous overnight printing.
High-Capacity Ink Cartridges/Ink Supply Units
High-capacity ink cartridges/ink supply units are
provided to ensure high productivity. This also reduces
the nuisance of frequent ink cartridge/ink supply unit
replacements.
High-Speed Printing
The SC-S60600 Series/SC-S60600L Series are equipped
with 2 heads for faster printing. High speeds are
supported by using 2 ink cartridges/ink supply units for
each color of ink.
Additional Print Drying System Available
The Additional Print Drying System (supplied with the
SC-S60600 Series/SC-S60600L Series; optional with
other models) can be used for increased drying
performance and improved productivity. When using
10 color mode in SC-S80600 Series/SC-S80600L Series,
we recommend using this system because WH/MS ink
can take a while to dry.
Introduction

High Print Quality

Smooth Gradations, High-Fidelity Color
Reproduction
The SC-S80600 Series/SC-S80600L Series are equipped
for light-colored inks (LK, LC, and LM) to reduce
graininess and smooth the gradations. Also, the use of
OR and R ink increases the color gamut for high-fidelity
color reproduction.
This achieves a print quality at a level sufficient for fine
art, car wraps, and indoor display advertising that can be
inspected at close range.
Equipping WH/MS inks
By equipping the SC-S80600 Series/SC-S80600L Series
with WH or MS ink, a variety of print effects becomes
available.
The WH ink is high opacity, making it suitable for
masking on transparent media (window graphics).
Other inks can be printed over WH or MS inks (ink
layering), preventing color inks showing through and
allowing for a variety of metallic colors.

Superior Ease of Use

Media Installation and Take up a Snap
The roll and roll core holders require no spindles,
eliminating the need to attach spindles before installing
media. Just bring the media to the printer and install it
directly. Never having to juggle long spindles makes
installing media a snap even where space is limited.
In addition to roll supports that give you a place to rest
media during installation, the printer offers lift levers
that allow heavy media to be effortlessly raised to the
level of the roll holders.
Easily register optimum print settings for the media
being used
A variety of settings are provided allowing you to
perform optimum printing according to the size and
type of the media being used. When Easy Media Setup is
enabled on the setup menu, you can register a variety of
settings quickly and easily according to the media type.
