Printing solutions provider Seiko Epson Corporation has announced that it will launch sales of two new models of inkjet printheads that support solvent inks, in the first half of the fiscal year 2023 that begins in April. 

The new I3200(8)-S1HD and S800-S1 are compatible with a wide variety of inks used for industrial applications. In addition to aqueous, UV-cured, and eco-solvent inks, they support oil-based, solvent, and other types of inks for digital printing applications in production printing.

The I3200(8)-S1HD can handle up to eight colors of ink and deliver resolutions up to 1200 dpi, enabling the rendering of high-resolution images in a variety of situations. The S800-S1 is equipped with only one chip. Its compact design helps to improve productivity in printing environments where space is limited, the company said.

The new products will expand Epson’s offerings in the PrecisionCore printhead series and enable the company to support an even broader range of industrial and other digital printing environments, for applications such as marking/coding, signage, and printed electronics.

Product features

I3200(8)-S1HD – Compatibility with solvents with high solubility gives this printhead the ability to meet the requirements for printing things such as displays and photovoltaic cells. It prints with up to eight colors and easily equips printers for high-quality output. Up to eight different colors of ink can be used-and not just CMYK color inks. Liquids of different types can also be jetted, enabling this printhead to flexibly adapt to industrial printing applications. It delivers 1200 dpi high-definition image quality, making it ideal for high-speed single-pass as well as multi-pass printing.

S800-S1– The S800-S1 is compatible with the same inks as the I3200(8)-S1HD, but the single-chip design enables it to print where space is limited, as well as print in close proximity to substrates with a 3D surface.

The two new products will enable the implementation of inkjet printing technology in new fields, particularly in industrial printing applications. Epson will continue to develop original technology to contribute to the expansion of its customers’ businesses and further accelerate inkjet innovation.

In 2024, we are looking at full recovery and growth-led investment in Indian printing

Indian Printer and Publisher founded in 1979 is the oldest B2B trade publication in the multi-platform and multi-channel IPPGroup. It created the category of privately owned B2B print magazines in the country. And by its diversification in packaging, (Packaging South Asia), food processing and packaging (IndiFoodBev) and health and medical supply chain and packaging (HealthTekPak), and its community activities in training, research, and conferences (Ipp Services, Training and Research) the organization continues to create platforms that demonstrate the need for quality information, data, technology insights and events.

India is a large and tough terrain and while its book publishing and commercial printing industry have recovered and are increasingly embracing digital print, the Indian newspaper industry continues to recover its credibility and circulation. The signage industry is also recovering and new technologies and audiences such as digital 3D additive printing, digital textiles, and industrial printing are coming onto our pages. Diversification is a fact of life for our readers and like them, we will also have to adapt with agility to keep up with their business and technical information needs.

India is one of the fastest growing economies in nominal and real terms – in a region poised for the highest change in year to year expenditure in printing equipment and consumables. Our 2024 media kit is ready, and it is the right time to take stock – to emphasize your visibility and relevance to your customers and turn potential markets into conversations.
