Epson has announced its new 44-inch SureColor F6470 and SureColor F6470H dye-sublimation printers are now available through authorized Epson Professional Imaging resellers. The four-color SureColor F6470 and six-color SureColor F6470H are designed to maximize productivity by quickly and efficiently producing high-quality images ideal for promotional products, apparel, home décor, soft signage and more.

"The increased awareness of dye-sublimation and its benefits for designers has been a driving force in the demand for expanded color gamut options," said Tim Check, senior product manager for professional imaging, Epson America Inc. "We've focused efforts on offering a wider range of color options while maintaining the reliability and quality for which Epson is known. The six-color SureColor F6470H offers expanded color gamut options to meet the demands of changing market trends with the ability to hit brand requirements needed by high-end clients."

The SureColor F6470 and SureColor F6470H leverage an innovative PrecisionCore MicroTFP printhead and produce high-quality transfer images at speeds up to 820 ft2/hr and 400 ft2/hr, respectively. The SureColor F6470H allows for multiple ink configurations — CMYK plus either light cyan/light magenta, fluorescent pink/fluorescent yellow or orange/violet — making it an ideal solution to meet specific brand colors requirements for corporate clients and designers.

Both models also feature an integrated ink pack system utilizing 1.6-liter UltraChrome DS Ink packs allow the printers to continuously deliver rich color saturation and contrast. Additional features include a touch-screen control panel, a built-in cutter, an easily accessible maintenance area, a take-up reel system, and powerful workflow software Epson Edge Print and Epson Cloud Solution PORT2 for live production monitoring and unattended printing support.

Available through Epson Authorized Professional Imaging Resellers, the SureColor F6470 ($8,195 MSRP) and SureColor F6470H ($8,695 MSRP) are designed for use exclusively with Epson ink packs and offer a one-year limited on-site warranty with extended service plans available.
