Epson SureColor V4000 — The Next Generation UV Flatbed Printer
The Epson SureColor V4000 brings the power of professional UV flatbed printing to sign shops, print service providers, custom merchandise businesses, and fine art studios that need a compact, high-performance production system without the footprint or complexity of a full industrial flatbed. Released in 2026 as the newest addition to Epson’s V-Series UV printer lineup, the V4000 slots between the entry-level V1070 desktop and the flagship 4ft x 8ft V7000, delivering the image quality and versatility of a premium flatbed in a space-saving design that fits through a standard 6-foot doorway and runs on regular 110V power.
Whether you’re moving beyond the time-consuming workflow of printing on adhesive vinyl and laminating to rigid substrates, expanding into direct-to-object promotional products, or adding ADA-compliant Braille signage to your service offerings, the SureColor V4000 gives you the tools to produce more diverse, higher-value products in-house.
10-Color UltraChrome UV Ink Set — Vibrant, Durable, Textured
The SureColor V4000 uses Epson’s latest 10-color UltraChrome UV ink set, engineered specifically for this generation of flatbed printers:
- CMYK + Light Cyan + Light Magenta — the expanded 6-color process base delivers smooth gradations, skin tones, and photographic detail that 4-color UV printers can’t match.
- Red Ink — dramatically expands the achievable color gamut into vivid oranges, deep reds, and brand-specific spot colors that traditional CMYK misses.
- Gray Ink — produces neutral blacks, clean grayscale, and smooth monochrome transitions for photo and fine art reproduction.
- Opaque White Ink — enables printing on clear acrylic, dark substrates, colored media, and metallics with high opacity and coverage.
- Gloss / Matte Varnish Ink — choose between glossy or matte finishes, or layer selectively to create raised textures, tactile effects, and premium embellishments that command higher prices.
Large Format Print Area in a Compact Footprint
The 27.5in x 38.5in (698mm x 978mm) print bed accommodates two full-bleed 18in x 24in yard signs side-by-side in a single pass, or a variety of other standard signage, packaging mockups, and décor panels. Four independently controlled vacuum zones provide strong, stable suction across the bed so thin, flexible media stays locked down during printing — no more shifting, curling, or misregistration on lightweight substrates.


Direct-to-Object Printing on Virtually Any Substrate
The V4000’s standout capability is direct-to-object UV printing on media up to 7.8in (200mm) thick. Touchless automatic laser height detection measures your substrate and adjusts the printhead clearance automatically — no manual height setting, no risk of a head strike. This opens up revenue streams that flatbed printers in lower price classes simply can’t access:
- Promotional products — keychains, golf balls, pens, bottle openers, phone cases, coasters
- Signage — acrylic, PVC, Coreflute, Dibond, foamboard, aluminum composite, Sintra
- Décor — wood panels, canvas, wallpaper prototypes, cabinet door samples, ceramic tile
- Packaging — custom prototype boxes, cosmetic bottles, specialty packaging mockups
- Fine art — canvas, aluminum prints, acrylic face-mounts, textured art reproductions
- Industrial — PCB prototypes, nameplates, control panel overlays, product branding


Three PrecisionCore Micro TFP Printheads
Epson’s PrecisionCore Micro TFP printhead technology is the same architecture that powers Epson’s most advanced commercial and industrial printers. The V4000 runs three of them in parallel — dedicated printheads for process colors, white, and varnish — enabling true single-pass multi-layer printing. That means you can print a white underbase, full color, and a varnish top coat in one pass instead of three, dramatically cutting production time on complex jobs and opening up layered creative effects without productivity penalties.
ADA-Compliant Braille Printing
The SureColor V4000 can build up Braille dots directly on signage using layered UV ink, producing tactile output compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). ADA signage is a high-margin category most sign shops outsource because they lack the equipment — bringing it in-house with the V4000 captures that revenue and shortens turnaround for your commercial customers.
Who the V4000 Is Built For
- Sign shops and print service providers moving from printed-and-mounted vinyl workflows to direct-to-substrate production
- Custom merchandise and promotional product companies needing direct-to-object printing on thick, irregular items
- Fine art studios and photographers producing gallery-quality reproductions on canvas, aluminum, acrylic, and wood
- Packaging design firms producing short-run prototypes and client-approval mockups
- Custom décor, furniture, and cabinetry shops adding printed finishes to panels and components
- Industrial and commercial printers diversifying into nameplates, control panels, ADA signage, and branded product output

What can I print on the Epson SureColor V4000?
The V4000 prints directly onto virtually any rigid or flexible substrate up to 7.8 inches thick. This includes acrylic, PVC, Coreflute, Dibond, foamboard, aluminum composite, wood panels, canvas, metal, glass, ceramic tile, and promotional items such as keychains, golf balls, pens, phone cases, bottle openers, and coasters. Touchless automatic laser height detection handles irregular and thick objects without manual adjustment.
What’s the print area of the SureColor V4000?
The maximum print area is 27.5in x 38.5in (698mm x 978mm), large enough to accommodate two full-bleed 18in x 24in yard signs simultaneously. Four individually controlled vacuum zones provide strong suction to hold media securely during printing.
How does the V4000 compare to the Epson SureColor V7000 and V1070?
The V4000 sits in the middle of Epson’s V-Series UV flatbed lineup. The V1070 is a compact A4 desktop UV printer for small promotional items. The V7000 is a large-format 4ft x 8ft industrial flatbed for high-volume signage production. The V4000 bridges the gap with a large 27.5in x 38.5in print area, 10-color UltraChrome UV ink (including Red and Gray), and direct-to-object printing up to 7.8in thick — all in a compact footprint that fits through a 6-foot doorway and runs on standard 110V power.
Does the V4000 print white ink?
Yes. The V4000 includes opaque White ink as part of its 10-color UltraChrome UV ink set, allowing you to print on clear acrylic, dark substrates, colored media, and metallic surfaces with excellent opacity. White can be printed as a full underbase layer or selectively in specific areas.
Can the V4000 print Braille for ADA-compliant signage?
Yes. The SureColor V4000 can build up tactile Braille dots using layered UV ink, producing output that complies with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. ADA-compliant signage is a high-margin category most print shops outsource — bringing it in-house with the V4000 captures that revenue and shortens turnaround for commercial customers.
What ink does the Epson SureColor V4000 use?
The V4000 uses Epson’s UltraChrome UV 10-color ink set: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, Light Cyan, Light Magenta, Red, Gray, opaque White, and Varnish (available in Gloss or Matte). Each ink ships in a 1,000 mL bottle. White and Varnish each use two channels in the printer for faster production. Epson strongly recommends genuine UltraChrome UV ink to maintain warranty coverage and print quality.
What’s included with the Epson SureColor V4000?
Every SureColor V4000 ships with a complete starter ink set (all 10 colors, plus dual channels for White and Varnish), Epson Edge Print Pro RIP software license, power cord, USB cable, wiper unit, mist filter, waste ink bottle, 1,000 mL of cleaning liquid, cleaning sticks, and the user guide kit. Installation, training, and extended service plans are available separately through Buffalo Imaging.
How is the Epson SureColor V4000 delivered and installed?
The SureColor V4000 ships via LTL freight due to its size and weight. Epson offers a Preferred Commercial Installation Program for professional on-site setup, calibration, and operator training — we strongly recommend this for a smooth launch. Contact our Professional Imaging team before purchasing to coordinate freight delivery, site preparation requirements, and installation scheduling.
What warranty comes with the Epson SureColor V4000?
The V4000 includes Epson’s 90-day limited warranty as standard. Epson Preferred Plus Extended Service Plans are available to extend coverage up to 5 years of continuous protection with next-business-day on-site repair. Extended plans are most cost-effective when purchased at the time of hardware purchase — ask us about plan options before you order.
