Epson has unveiled its latest innovation in the SureColor® S-Series line, the SureColor S8170 solvent printer, during the PRINTING United Expo held in Orlando, Florida from October 22 to 24, 2025. This new model, positioned as one of the fastest and most productive sign printers in the market, boasts impressive capabilities designed to meet the demands of modern sign-making businesses.

Enhanced Speed and Efficiency

The SureColor S8170 features over 20% faster print speeds compared to its predecessor, highlighting Epson's commitment to innovation in the printing sector.

Cutting-Edge Technology

This printer integrates the latest generation of Epson’s PrecisionCore® Micro TFP® printhead, which comes equipped with Nozzle Verification Technology and an integrated temperature sensor control. These advanced features ensure reliability in print quality, allowing for consistent results from job to job while resolving issues such as color banding even at high production speeds. The SureColor S8170 uses a 6-color UltraChrome® GS3 ink set, including Light Cyan and Light Magenta, enhancing image quality and versatility across various substrates such as vinyl, canvas, and paper.

The printer’s rapid-drying ink enables same-day lamination, meeting the brisk needs of sign shops. The system is designed for flexibility with ink packs available in sizes of 800mL or 1,500mL and includes a hot swap feature allowing for mid-job ink replacement, which reduces interruptions significantly.

User-Friendly and Smart Management Features
