EPSON SC-S70600 series/SC-S50600 series/SC-S30600 series User's Guide

Features

This wide-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 High-Capacity
Rolls
The standard media feeding unit can handle
high-capacity rolls with external diameters of up to
250 mm and weights of up to 40 kg, ensuring that media
requires less frequent replacement.
With the optional heavy roll media system, the printer
can handle even larger 80 kg rolls with external
diameters of 300 mm.
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
The printer uses high-capacity, 700 ml ink cartridges
(white ink cartridges 600 ml, metallic silver cartridges
350 ml) to ensure productivity, reducing the nuisance of
frequent ink replacements.
High-Speed Printing
The SC-S50600 series is equipped with two heads for
faster printing. High speeds are supported by using two
cartridges for each color of ink.
Introduction
Additional Print Drying System Available
The additional print drying system (supplied with the
SC-S50600 series; optional with other models) can be
used for increased drying performance and improved
productivity. It is recommended when using the
SC-S70600 series in 10 Color mode, as the white and
metallic silver inks are slow to dry.

High Print Quality

Smooth Tone Gradations, High-Fidelity Color
Reproduction
The SC-S70600 series is equipped for light-colored inks
(Light Black, Light Cyan and Light Magenta), reducing
graininess for continuous tone gradation, while the use
of Orange ink increases the color gamut for high-fidelity
color reproduction. It is capable of print quality of a level
sufficient for car wraps and indoor display advertising
that can be inspected at close range.
Support for White and Metallic Silver Inks
A variety of print effects are available when using the
SC-S70600 series with White and Metallic Silver inks or
the SC-S50600 series with White ink. The White ink is
high opacity, making it suitable for masking on
transparent media (window graphics). Other inks can
be printed over White or Metallic Silver inks (ink
layering), preventing color inks showing through and
allowing for a variety of metallic colors.
When using spot color inks, see:
"Notes on Usage of Spot color Inks (SC-S70600
U
series, SC-S50600 series)" on page 28

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.
