Epson launches SureColor S8170 high-speed solvent printer

Epson has expanded its SureColor S-Series with the launch of the SureColor S8170, a highperformance solvent printer engineered for professional sign makers and large-format print providers. Designed to deliver both speed and precision, the new printer achieves over 20% faster print speeds than its predecessor while maintaining exceptional image quality.

Built for productivity, the SureColor S8170 features a 6-color UltraChrome GS3 ink set, including Light Cyan and Light Magenta, which minimize banding and ensure smooth gradations, even at high speeds. The fast-drying ink formulation supports same-day lamination, making it ideal for fast-turnaround signage, vehicle wraps, and display graphics.

At its core is Epson’s latest PrecisionCore Micro TFP printhead with Nozzle Verification Technology and an integrated temperature sensor, ensuring consistent color and reliable performance print after print. The printer’s hot-swap ink system allows automatic switching between 800mL and 1,500mL ink packs during operation, maximizing uptime and reducing interruptions.

Compact and user-friendly, the SureColor S8170 includes a 4.3-inch touchscreen and a robust media feeding and tension system for stable, accurate printing across various substrates such as vinyl, canvas, banner, and paper.

Adding to its efficiency, Epson bundles the printer with ONYX Go Plus, Epson Edge Print Pro RIP, and Epson Cloud Solution PORT, providing powerful tools for workflow automation, production monitoring, and fleet management.

Combining speed, precision, and ease of use, the Epson SureColor S8170 sets a new standard for solvent printing, helping print providers achieve higher productivity and profitability in a compact, dependable design.
