REDEFINING THE FUTURE OF PRINTING
A Based upon print engine speed only. Total throughput times depend upon front-end RIP, file size, printer resolution, ink coverage, networking, etc. All print speeds are based upon bi-directional printing. B Cartridge yields vary considerably based on images printed, print settings, paper type, frequency of use and temperature. For print quality, a variable amount of ink remains in the cartridge after the "Replace cartridge" indicator comes on. The printer ships with a full set of cartridges and part of the ink from the first cartridges is used for priming the printer. Printer ships with 350 ml cartridges. See www.epson.com/cartridgeinfo for more information about cartridges.

Introducing the all-new Epson Stylus Pro GS6000 | The worlds most advanced 64-inch wide, solvent-based printer.

Brilliant Signage

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. Introducing the all-new Epson Stylus Pro GS6000. Designed to exceed all print quality expectations, the 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, everyday use is extremely simple, while setting new standards in overall printer reliability and reducing the total cost of ownership. And for the first time ever, Epson has created an all-new, solvent-based ink technology that has less harmful impact on both the environment and worker health, while also being compatible with virtually any solvent-based media. Inspired by our passion for extreme color gamut and photographic print quality, Epson UltraChrome GS Ink technology introduces eight individual colors, including an all-new Orange and Green. Developed exclusively by Epson, UltraChrome GS Ink technology eliminates the
need for external dryers and air purification systems. And, not only have we dramatically reduced harmful VOCs, weve completely removed the element Nickel (Ni) from our inks. The result is a high-performance, solvent-based ink technology with stunning color gamut and accuracy, with less impact on the environment. For unsurpassed print quality up to 91 square-foot-per-hour (SFPH) or everyday production quality printing up to 180 SFPH, weve developed an all-new Dual-Array MicroPiezo AMC print head. Developed specifically for the Epson Stylus Pro GS6000, our latest print head technology has been completely redesigned for the demands of high-production solvent printing. By combining extreme print quality and high-production print speeds, with remarkable print engine durability, Epson is once again redefining solvent-based printing technology. Imagine producing prints with amazing color fidelity and accuracy for the most demanding vehicle wrap or decorative fine art project. And, with the same printer, you can produce stunning outdoor banners, posters, and various photographic tradeshow graphics faster than you thought possible. Whether youre trying to supplement your existing production process or require a single printer to produce virtually any print job that might come your way, the Epson Stylus Pro GS6000 is the ultimate investment for any size printing company. Never before have printing professionals had such a powerful tool allowing them to produce their clients vision without compromise. This is the way it should be.
