Epson SureColor S9170: Raising the Bar in Solvent Printing
Epson has introduced the SureColor S9170, a 64-inch solvent printer built to push color and reliability further for everyday production. Its advanced 11-color ink set—now including new Green, Red, and Orange—expands the gamut to deliver more than 99% PANTONE coverage, helping you match demanding color targets with confidence. Designed for steady, predictable output, the S9170 is aimed at small to medium-sized sign shops and print franchises that need both precision and uptime.
Key Features of the SureColor S9170
Advanced Ink Technology
The SureColor S9170 uses UltraChrome GS3 inks, adding the flexibility of opaque White Ink for printing on a wide range of substrates. Colors stay vivid on clear and dark media alike, so the same device can handle a broader mix of signage work. Because the inks dry quickly, jobs can move to lamination the same day, which helps keep turnaround times tight without compromising quality.
Built for Easy, Consistent Operation
A first-ever user-replaceable PrecisionCore Micro TFP printhead sits at the heart of the S9170. Being able to swap the head yourself helps maintain consistent image quality across runs while reducing service interruptions. The printer also features advanced temperature sensor control to keep conditions stable, supporting accurate color and reliable performance from job to job.
Why the SureColor S9170 Stands Out
This latest model in Epson’s signage printer line couples a compact, clean design with robust color capability. For sign makers, dependable color isn’t a nice-to-have—it’s the work. Matt McCausland, group product manager for Industrial Printing at Epson America, points to the S-Series’ strong track record and notes that the S9170 sets new benchmarks for signage printing, reinforcing Epson’s focus on consistent, repeatable results.
Availability of the SureColor S9170
The SureColor S9170 is anticipated to be available in early 2025. It will be offered through Authorized Epson Professional Imaging Resellers and includes a one-year limited warranty. That combination—channel support and warranty coverage—reflects Epson’s commitment to dependable service throughout the product’s first year.
