Strong take-up of Seiko Instruments' ColorPainter M-64s wide format printer

Having made its debut at FESPA London in June 2013, Seiko Instruments says its new ColorPainter M-64s is impressing the world of wide format printing with its productivity and spectacular print results.

This high-speed inkjet printer with low-odour eco-solvent ink meets all modern production and quality requirements - easily outlined in the slogan “Color on Time”. It has a maximum print speed of 66.5 m²/h, combined with innovative and user friendly printing technology. This complements the new low-odour eco-solvent SX-ink that creates excellent print results for high-quality indoor and long-life outdoor applications.

The guiding principle when developing this outstanding printer was to make it “fast”, “precise” and “reliable”. Seiko Instruments’ engineers carefully and thoroughly reviewed all workflow steps such as loading print media, making adjustments, printing, drying time, winding and unloading media. This resulted in the implementation of more than 100 innovations and features.

Some of these numerous innovations include automatic print adjustment, on-carriage ionizer to neutralise static electricity in the print media, Smart Pass Technology 4, as well as Dynamic Dot Printing and Smart Nozzle Mapping 2 that allow outstanding print results on PVC even at 33.1 m²/h. The remote communication function that allows the printer to be operated directly from a PC, tablet or cell phone via Twitter2 is also a stateoftheart feature.

The first printers have already been shipped and Seiko Instruments continues to receive an 'overwhelming' number of orders for this new M-Series Printer.

Recommended EMEA pricing for the ColorPainter M-64s is €29.900 for the 6 colour configuration (C,M,Y,K, Lc, Lm) and €32.300 for the 7 colour configuration (C,M,Y,K, Lc, Lm, Gy). Warranty is two years for the printer and the pre-installed print heads without any nozzle shot restriction.

The printer will be shown at all major upcoming digital printing exhibitions including Viscom in Paris and in Düsseldorf, Sign Scandinavia, Reklama Russia and at numerous open house events hosted by Seiko Instruments' official distributors throughout EMEA.
