With a space-saving design to fit into office spaces and production environments previously not possible, Epson has announced the availability of the new SureColor T7770D 44-inch dual-roll printer.  Featuring an innovative, compact design, the technical printer is the first available model in the new line of production-class SureColor T-Series wide-format printing solutions designed to meet the complex and demanding needs of technical and production printing environments.

The SureColor T7770D features 2.64-inch PrecisionCore printhead technology to deliver quality images and accurate details, even at its fastest-in-class print speeds. Plus, it prints posters and POP displays at speeds of more than 300 sq. ft./hr., technical drawings at production-class speeds of more than 1,400 sq. ft./hr., and A1/D-size prints as fast as 16 seconds. Up to 25% smaller than competitors, the SureColor T7770D features a compact, innovative design with complete front operation so it can be pushed against a wall, leaving more room for a walkway and other equipment — ideal for space-constrained production environments. Leveraging UltraChrome XD3 6-color inks including a new Red ink ideal for producing red branding colors, it creates water-, smudge- and fade-resistant output with crisp lines and vibrant colors for graphics, signage, blueprints, documents and more.

"As businesses continue to grow, there is an increasing demand for functional solutions that not only maximize productivity and efficiency, but also fit seamlessly into any workspace," said Jacob Hardin, product manager for professional imaging, Epson America Inc. "This is especially important for offices and facilities with limited floor space. With the new SureColor T7770D, businesses can create outstanding quality graphics more quickly and efficiently than ever before – all in a small footprint. Committed to meeting the needs of customers, Epson designed the new line of production-class SureColor T-Series printers to help drive a new wave of innovation in production."

The SureColor T7770D offers seamless, dual-roll productivity, accommodating two media types or sizes, or the second roll can be used as a take-up reel for roll-to-roll production. An innovative Adobe Embedded Print engine with four on-board Intel Atom CPUs quickly processes complicated PDF data and accurately reproduces transparent design layers at speeds up to three times faster than previous generations.
