Epson Introduces the SureColor S9170, a New Step Forward in Solvent Printing
Epson has announced the SureColor S9170, a 64-inch solvent printer built to push color, clarity, and day?to?day usability. It pairs a modern, streamlined design with high-end image quality, aiming to set a fresh standard for shops that live and breathe color-critical work.
Big Color: Wide Gamut, Clean Results
An advanced 11?color ink set—featuring Red, Orange, and a new Green—gives the SureColor S9170 an expansive gamut. It reproduces over 99% of PANTONE color profiles, supporting accurate brand tones and consistent visuals across projects. From signage to graphics and other high-impact applications, images land vivid and precise, job after job.
Maintenance on Your Terms
The SureColor S9170 is the first in its class to feature a user?replaceable printhead. That single change simplifies upkeep, shortens service interruptions, and helps you keep output steady without waiting on a technician. It’s built with small to medium sign shops, print franchises, and e?commerce printers in mind—teams that need reliability to match their workload.
Debuting on the Big Stage
The S9170 will make its worldwide debut at PRINTING United in Las Vegas, where it’ll be showcased at booth SL8101. It’s a fitting venue for Epson to demonstrate what’s new, gather feedback from industry specialists, and let attendees see the printer’s color and workflow features up close.
Color You Can Count On
Matt McCausland, group product manager for Industrial Printing at Epson America, underscored how vital accurate color is for visual branding and messaging. The SureColor S9170 is designed with that in mind—pairing reliable color management and cutting?edge imaging with a sleek, modern form factor. Durability and efficiency are central to the design, so even busy production environments can expect consistent, repeatable results.
Flexible Ink Options, Faster Turnarounds
The SureColor S9170 uses UltraChrome GS3 ink with fast?drying performance that supports same?day lamination. That capability helps streamline workflows and keep jobs moving. To fit different production profiles, you can install 800mL or 1,500mL ink packs, tailoring capacity to your shop’s pace and minimizing mid-run changes.
Designed to Work the Way You Do
Usability sits alongside looks. Automatic daily printhead maintenance helps keep the system in shape with minimal intervention. For visibility and control, the S9170 works with Epson Edge Print Pro RIP and Epson Cloud Solution PORT, making production monitoring and fleet management more straightforward. Less guesswork, fewer surprises, and more time printing.
Availability and Warranty
The SureColor S9170 is slated to arrive in early 2025 through authorized Epson Professional Imaging resellers and includes a one?year limited warranty. For shops planning their next round of projects, it’s positioned as a capable addition to the production floor.
