Stylus Pro GS6000 64'', Solvent Ink Printer 1440x1440dpi, USB2.0, Ethernet
When Epson decided to develop a commercial outdoor printer, customer and industry expectations were high. And for good reason. Over the years, Epson has been known to change the way people print, while transforming the industry along the way.
As with any new Epson Stylus® Pro printer, we looked to the customer for guidance. And along the way, we received enthusiastic feedback about every aspect of their business. The result, a new-generation of solvent-based printing technology designed to inspire your clients while maximizing your profitability.
Designed to exceed all print quality expectations for solvent printing, the all-new Epson
Stylus® Pro GS6000 is also the fastest 64-inch wide roll-to-roll printer in its class. And with our profit-focused printer design and competitive cost of ownership, everyday use is extremely simple, while also setting new standards in overall printer reliability. And with this new generation of solvent printer, Epson has created an all-new solvent-based ink technology with less harmful impact on the environment and worker health, while being fully compatible with virtually any solvent-based media.
