Epson SureColor V7000 10-Color 4′ x 8′ UV Flatbed Printer

The New Standard in UV Flatbed Printing: Epson SureColor V7000 (SCV7000PE)

The Epson SureColor V7000 is not just a printer; it is a complete production powerhouse designed to transform your sign shop or print service business. As Epson’s first UV flatbed printer, the SCV7000PE was engineered from the ground up to solve the most common pain points in rigid substrate printing: speed, color accuracy, and maintenance. Whether you are producing high-end fine art, outdoor signage, or promotional items, this 4′ x 8′ flatbed delivers industrial-grade reliability with the stunning image quality Epson is famous for.

Unrivaled 10-Color UltraChrome® UV Ink Technology

Most flatbed printers in this category rely on a standard CMYK+White setup. The Epson V7000 shatters that limitation with a unique 10-color ink set. By including Red Ink, the V7000 achieves an incredibly wide color gamut, allowing you to hit difficult corporate brand colors (like vibrant reds and deep oranges) that other printers simply cannot reach. The addition of Gray and Light Cyan/Light Magenta ensures smooth gradients and skin tones without visible graininess. Furthermore, the inclusion of White Ink and Varnish as dedicated channels allows for “multi-layer” printing in a single pass. You can print high-opacity white on dark or transparent acrylics, or apply a spot varnish to create tactile textures, braille, or high-gloss finishes that make your prints stand out from the competition.

Advanced Productivity Features for High-Volume Workflows

Time is money in a production environment. The SCV7000PE is built to minimize downtime and maximize throughput:

• 8 MicroPiezo® Printheads: These industrial heads are arranged in a staggered layout, allowing for high-speed printing even when using White ink and Varnish simultaneously.
• Multi-Zone Vacuum System: The 1.25m x 2.5m (4′ x 8′) bed is divided into four independent vacuum zones. This allows you to print smaller boards without the need to tape off the rest of the bed, significantly speeding up your setup time.
• Automatic Thickness Detection: Stop wasting time with manual measurements. The V7000 automatically senses the height of your media (up to 80mm or 3.14″ thick) and adjusts the printhead height to prevent head strikes and ensure razor-sharp focus.
• Integrated Ionizer: Static electricity is the enemy of UV printing. The built-in ionizer neutralizes static charges on substrates like acrylic or flute board, ensuring that ink droplets land exactly where they are supposed to, eliminating “overspray” or “fogging.”

Built for Reliability and Ease of Use

Epson has integrated several “smart” features to protect your investment. The proximity sensors detect if a board is warped or misaligned, pausing the print before a head crash occurs. Additionally, the white ink circulation system keeps the heavy pigments in suspension, preventing clogs and ensuring consistent density throughout the day. The printer comes bundled with Epson Edge Print® RIP software, featuring an Adobe® PostScript® 3™ engine. This software gives you professional-level control over layout, tiling, nesting, and color management, making the transition from design to finished print seamless.

What Substrates Can You Print On?

The versatility of the UltraChrome UV ink means you can print on almost any rigid or flexible material, including:

• Rigid Media: Foamcore, PVC (Sintra), Aluminum Composite (Dibond), Wood, Glass, Ceramic Tiles, and Acrylic.
• Promotional Items: Phone cases, laptop lids, personalized awards, and signage.
• Packaging Prototypes: Heavy-duty corrugated cardboard and folding cartons.

Why Choose the SCV7000PE?
