New Graphics Solutions Targeting Screen Printers

Epson recently announced two new graphics solutions targeting screen printers, the 17-inch SureColor® P800 Screen Print Edition and the 24-inch SureColor T3270 Screen Print Edition. Building on award-winning technology featured in the current Epson SureColor P800 desktop photo printer and SureColor T3270 large-format color printer, the new screen print editions come bundled with AccuRIP Black Pearl SE™ software and Epson Screen Positive Film to produce high-quality film positives used to burn screens for the traditional screen printing process. The Epson SureColor P800 Screen Print Edition and SureColor T3270 Screen Print Edition will be on display at ISS in Long Beach, Jan. 22-24 in Epson’s booth, #2147.
