A TRUSTED PARTNER OF EPSON, IRISH PRINT SUPPORT SUPPLIES THE IRISH PRINT INDUSTRY WITH A RANGE OF TOP LEVEL SIGNAGE PRINTERS
Thanks to the high quality of the machines, Epson printers supplied by IPS very rarely require follow-up service. “We’ve actually never had a breakdown or a service call. That’s down to the efficiency and durability of the signage printers from Epson,” said Les Sharpe from Irish Print Support.
The company supplies three signage printers from Epson’s S series – the Epson Surecolor SC-S80600, the Surecolor SC-S60600 and the Surecolor SC-S40600. Although all three perform extremely well, the most interesting machine from Les’ point of view is the SC-S80600. “When you’re doing signage, it’s essential that the corporate colours you’re trying to replicate are as similar as possible. The colours in the company logo should be the same in signage. The SC-S80600 is unique in that it offers a wider core gamut than any other printer on the market.” When you specify a particular colour in your file for printing, it will be accurately reproduced by the Epson. Not an approximation, not close, but an accurate reproduction.”
The SC-S80600 utilises a wider range of inks. “Instead of using CMYK as most printers do, the SC-S80600 uses red and orange inks to achieve bright colour gamut. Signage normally includes quite a lot of red as it draws attention. The SC-S80600 uses actual red ink to make pure red colours so you get much cleaner, sharper and brighter colours. That’s what has made this printer the best-selling machine in Europe for the past two years.”
