Get the Most from Your Solvent Printer

One of the quickest ways to diversify your services as a print shop operator is to add a wide-format solvent printer. With a machine, such as one of the Epson SureColor S-Series printers, you can expand your horizons into everything from long-term outdoor graphics to customized interior décor. Check out how these printers can make an immediate difference in your shop:

Improve Image Output: After more than a year of testing, our Experience Center techs found that the Epson SureColor S-Series S60600 and S80600 provided extremely consistent print production, including photographic and fine art jobs. “I can attest that this is the best solvent printer technology available with regards to reliability, image durability, image detail/sharpness and color fidelity,” says our tech expert, Michael Clementi. “If you were to tell me five years ago that a solvent print would be approved by photographic/fine art consumers concerned with gamut and image quality and durability, I would have told you that we’d have a long wait to get to that point. We have arrived.”

Epson’s S60600 a “Well Thought-Out Machine” for New FASTSIGNS Shop

When Liz Allen’s entrepreneurial spirit kicked in, and she decided to open up a FASTSIGNS franchise in Oviedo, Fla., she had a number of items on her to-do list, but perhaps few as important as purchasing a wide-format printer for the shop. When attending the ISA Sign Expo in Orlando earlier this year, she jumped on a discount offered in a show special, and purchased an Epson SureColor S60600 64-inch solvent printer from LexJet.

“FASTSIGNS did recommend the Epson,” Allen says. “We chose it because of its speed. It was three times faster than the other printer we looked at.”

Allen opened her new FASTSIGNS store in July, and because she’s new to wide-format printing, she hired Mike Howell, a seasoned sign shop printer, to manage production of banners, floor graphics, magnets and more of the shop’s offerings.

“I’ve been in the sign business for 30 years,” Howell says. “I saw the Epson printer when I was at FASTSIGNS corporate office, so I was able to get my hands on the printer. It’s very quick — a lot faster than a lot of the other machines I’ve used.”

Pro Advice: Keys for Trade Show Printing & Installation Success

Preparing for a trade show project requires a lot of planning, from site inspections and product choices to printer setup and installation. In the video above, trade show printing and installation pro Keith Bernard of Now That’s a Wrap, shares his advice, stemming from years of experience, including:

  • Booth sizing
  • Site inspections
  • Product choices
  • Printer and media settings
  • Installation success

He highlights the key steps you should take when planning, creating and setting up the display so everything goes smoothly from start to finish. For example: “You’ve got to talk about whether the graphics will be used inside or out,” he says, “and what could potentially damage the display, fade the ink or could have issues with glare.”

Asking your customer the correct questions will ensure their graphics stand out above all the competition. Taking the time to get the right team members in place and planning ahead will allow your customer to focus on their business at the show, while their graphics are performing seamlessly in the background.
