DALLAS, TX–(Marketwire – July 15, 2008) – SkinzWraps, Inc. announced today that several months ago it teamed up with Epson to integrate the new Epson Stylus® Pro GS6000 into its suite of printers. This new Epson Stylus® Pro GS6000 will officially go on sale in the coming months.
“The Epson Stylus Pro GS6000 has exceeded all our expectations, it’s a real game-changer. Its use of solvent-based inks opens up a wide range of new vehicle wrapping market opportunities,” said Peter Salaverry, CEO of SkinzWraps, Inc. “Understanding the breakthrough potential on a machine of this caliber and the impact it will have on the entire vehicle wrap market, we sought out a working relationship with Epson to provide feedback on the unique printing needs of the industry and to ensure we were staying ahead of the curve with regard to the latest technological advancements.”
Featuring Epson UltraChrome® GS ink, a new solvent-based ink technology with eight individual colors, including all-new orange and green inks, the Stylus Pro GS6000 produces the industry’s widest color gamut for an output with unparalleled image quality on nearly any solvent-based media. The printer’s new Dual-Array MicroPiezo® AMC™ print head is uniquely engineered to meet the demands of high-production solvent printing and is currently the fastest 64-inch wide roll-to-roll printer in its class, with print speeds of up to 340 sq. ft. per hour for banner-quality printing. In addition, Epson UltraChrome GS ink is a new generation of solvent-based chemistry that minimizes the impact on the environment.
“Our goal with the introduction of the Epson Stylus Pro GS6000 was to exceed the needs of today’s outdoor printers, and in this case, to give an industry leader such as SkinzWraps, Inc. the ability to produce amazingly creative and stunning vehicle wraps for their clients,” said Reed Hecht, product manager, Epson. “Over the past few months, we have been working very closely with SkinzWraps and partners in other markets to ensure we engineered the printer to stand the demands of outdoor printing applications. SkinzWraps’ use of the Epson GS6000 helps underscore Epson’s commitment to providing better, faster and safer printing solutions.”
