Epson SureColor S7170 Print/Cut Edition 64″ Solvent Printer

Epson SureColor S7170 Print/Cut Edition 64-Inch Solvent Printer

The Epson SureColor S7170 Print/Cut Edition is a production package for sign shops, graphics businesses and in-house print departments that need wide-format printing and contour cutting in one coordinated workflow. Epson ordering code SCS7170PC combines the 64-inch SureColor S7170 roll-to-roll solvent printer, a separate Summa S1 D140 drag-knife cutter and the software required to prepare print-and-cut jobs.

The Epson SureColor S7170 Print/Cut Edition is not a single integrated printer/cutter. The S7170 prints the graphics and registration marks, then the printed roll moves to the Summa cutter for contour cutting. Keeping printing and cutting on separate devices allows the next print job and a cutting job to run at the same time, helping a growing shop use both machines productively.

Epson SureColor S7170 Applications and Media

The Epson SureColor S7170 is designed for indoor and outdoor signage, stickers, labels, banners, canvas prints, window graphics and vehicle wraps. Its single-roll media path accepts roll widths from 11.81 to 64 inches, roll diameters up to 9.84 inches and rolls weighing up to 99.21 pounds.

Epson lists vinyl, banner, canvas and paper among the supported media categories. Actual performance, outdoor durability, lamination timing and cutter settings depend on the chosen media, profile, ink coverage and finishing process, so production shops should qualify each material before committing to a customer job.

Epson SureColor S7170 UltraChrome GS3 Ink

The Epson SureColor S7170 uses four-color UltraChrome GS3 ink in Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black to produce detailed graphics and repeatable color. The redesigned ink supply system uses high-capacity 800 mL packs, reducing replacement frequency and using less plastic than Epson’s previous 700 mL cartridge format.

The printer is designed for genuine Epson T51N ink packs: T51N120 Black, T51N220 Cyan, T51N320 Magenta and T51N420 Yellow. Epson’s official package list does not show ink packs as included, so order a complete CMYK set unless Buffalo’s written quote specifically states otherwise.

Epson SureColor S7170 Print Quality and Reliability

The Epson SureColor S7170 uses a 1.33-inch PrecisionCore Micro TFP printhead with 3,200 nozzles—800 for each ink color—and output up to 1200 × 1200 dpi. Variable Droplet Technology can create as many as three droplet sizes per line, with a minimum droplet volume of 4.3 picoliters for fine detail, smooth gradients and controlled ink placement.

Nozzle Verification Technology detects nozzle conditions and alerts the operator, while Epson Precision Dot Technology and a temperature sensor positioned close to the nozzle plate support consistent image quality. The platform also uses the stable media-feed and take-up design developed for the SureColor S40600.

Separate Summa S1 D140 Cutter for Contour Work

The included Summa S1 D140 is a drag-knife roll cutter with four pinch rollers, Ethernet, USB and Wi-Fi connectivity. It supports media from 7.4 to 59 inches wide and provides a standard maximum working width of 54.5 inches over lengths up to 164 feet.

Oversized Mode can increase the working width to 56.9 inches, but Epson states that tracking performance is not guaranteed in this mode. The cutter reaches up to 44 inches per second diagonally, up to 3 G diagonal acceleration and knife pressure from 0 to 600 grams. Published accuracy is 0.2% of movement or 0.010 inch, whichever is greater.

Epson SureColor S7170 Software and Connectivity

Epson Edge Print PRO RIP and a prepaid one-year subscription to ONYX Go Plus are included for print-and-cut production. Epson Cloud Solution PORT supports remote printer monitoring and requires an active internet connection and supported browser.

The cutter includes Summa GoSign and Summa Cutter Control software. The printer connects through SuperSpeed USB 3.0 or Gigabit Ethernet, while the cutter supports Ethernet, USB and Wi-Fi. Confirm current operating-system support and workstation requirements before purchasing or upgrading shop computers.

Space, Power, Freight and Installation Planning

The printer supports AC 100–120 V or 200–240 V at 50/60 Hz; Epson rates the main unit at 12 A or 10 A and the drying fan at 1 A or 0.5 A depending on supply voltage. The cutter supports AC 100–240 V at 50/60 Hz. Have a qualified electrician verify circuits and receptacles before delivery.

Epson does not publish a single combined shipping size or weight for this multi-piece bundle. Confirm the number of cartons or pallets, freight weight, liftgate service, doorway clearance and delivery access with Buffalo before scheduling delivery. Epson Preferred Installation is an optional service and should not be represented as included unless it appears on the order.

Who Should Buy the Epson SureColor S7170 Print/Cut Edition?

This configuration fits sign and graphics shops that want an Epson 64-inch solvent production platform and a dedicated contour cutter in one purchase. It is especially useful for decals, labels, window graphics, banners and wrap work where accurate registration and the ability to print and cut concurrently can improve throughput.

Before ordering the Epson SureColor S7170, compare the 64-inch printer width with the cutter’s 54.5-inch standard working width, confirm that your common jobs fit the finishing stage and plan sufficient floor space for both machines. Contact Buffalo Imaging for current availability, a verified freight quote, ink and media, installation options and an exact production configuration.
