Epson has announced the debut of two new high-speed, easy-to-use, wide-format SureColor T-Series plotters – the Epson SureColor T3170 24-inch desktop printer, and the SureColor T5170 36-inch floor-standing printer. Marking Epson’s expansion of its T-Series product line to the low-to-mid-range CAD printer market, both wireless printers feature a clean and compact design coupled with the reliable printing performance inherent in Epson’s technical printers. The new devices can accommodate crisp, high-quality printing of blueprints, fine-line drawings, signage, classroom posters and much more. They’re ideal for professionals and work groups across a huge range of applications – including architecture, engineering, CAD, GIS, education, corporate, home and small-office settings.
Utilizing Epson’s new PrecisionCore MicroTFP printhead technology and enhanced Nozzle Verification Technology (to automatically detect and adjust nozzle condition), the new printers offer “breakthrough print speeds” producing accurate A1/D-size prints in seconds, precise detail and commercial-grade reliability. Featuring integrated wireless and Wi-Fi-Direct connectivity, architects and designers can seamlessly print from tablets and smartphones, or use the new 4.3” LCD colour touchscreen with simple and intuitive menu controls and navigation. Next-generation high-capacity UltraChrome XD2 pigment inks deliver durable and vibrant prints with brilliant colours and clear, crisp lines.
