Comparison with the Previous Printers in the S-Series

Most people expect previous S-Series features from the new SureColor S60600 one, but it is unique. SureColor S60600 is a revolutionary rebuild, from the take-up reel to every part number and innovative filtration unit.

Sturdiness

The print integrity is highly dependent on the sturdiness of the unit as it lays down a different ink droplet size and a range of complex screening algorithms.

Like a vehicle chassis, stability is in reinforcement of the printer. Epson SureColor S60600 has produced a robust take-up unit, base, and rip substrate support system. It almost seems like the manufacturer was out to replace the plastic components with solid metal—compared to its predecessor, the Epson SureColor S60600 printer weighs an additional 100 pounds.

Operation

The next significant upgrade is the remarkably precise unattended printing. The take-up reel has been restructured as the most efficient alignment system in the print market currently.

Another notable feature is the ease of loading the Epson SureColor S60600 printer—it is almost better than the instant rebate. The advanced tool allows you to load on the fly, even when it is in operation.

The Epson SureColor S60600 also comes with an entirely renewed pinch roller system (the wheels at the top for holding it to the plate). The unique system maintains even pressure across the material, a crucial design improvement in the new SureColor S60600 one.

Most users like the extended use for a wide range of material, including photo paper, fabric, backlits, adhesive vinyl output, fabrics, vinyl output, and canvas. Smooth transit guarantees precise printing, so you’ll not have to throw away a single page.

The printer also includes a set of three adjustable pressure stages to regulate the pinch rollers, meaning fewer roller marks or impressions.

Reliability

The decrease in maintenance is notable for this printer. Epson SureColor S60600 has installed high-performance dual array PrecisionCore TFP print heads. The printer also features newly developed Epson Ultrachrome GS3 ink for outstanding print, air filtration, and wiper unit systems.

Even after a month of running and printing hundreds of rolls of fibrous products or producing sellable quality banner print, it maintains outstanding print quality, durability, and detail with the Epson SureColor S60600.

Maintenance for every part number has been synonymous with a solvent printer. Epson SureColor S60600 has pushed their once-a-week manual maintenance requirement to once a month with the advanced SureColor S60600 printer, though.

The efficient air filtration system plays a significant role in the upgrade on solvent printers, and so does the ink for outstanding print quality without the same wear and tear.

The innovative filtration system fits all safety and electrical requirements. Printer parts in history shuddered against ink and dust particles that interfered with the nozzles, but the wide-inch SureColor S60600 features are most evident in the print head—you can easily see the new system is efficient.

Previous models in Epson's S-Series faltered when you had run 15 rolls of canvas or any other fibrous material, accumulating some particles of dust or cotton fibers. But if you examine the new print heads closely, you'll realize that the ink remains clean for ages.

Quality

When it comes to the quality of the printer, Epson SureColor S60600 gets it right. The manufacturer paid attention to precision imaging at the core of reinventing its solvent printers, achieving outstanding print quality, durability, and reliability.

The unit adopts a similar inkjet printhead technology to the P-Series photographic printer. Epson SureColor S60600 printer capability even surpasses these expectations with the fastest pass modes available on an Eco-solvent printer. 

Manual

Some advantages of the Epson SureColor S60600 printer include:

• Print, finish, and ship: It is highly productive, including printing adhesive vinyl output quickly and accurately. Same-day lamination requires only six hours, and the inks dry rapidly.
• Epson Competitive Advantage: The Epson SureColor S60600 is about four times faster than competitors. It also offers same-day delivery.
• Fewer media feed errors: The wide-inch SureColor S60600 features a media support system and a commercial-grade printer stand. It also has 40 media feed rollers and five independent pinch rollers that deliver new precision media feeding control.
• Accuracy: With a sharper media path, the chances of media buckling and skewing drop. The outstanding accuracy in the printer's new precision media feeding leaves the finished rolls tight and accurate, shortening crucial transit times.
• Sensors: The tension control is sensor-based, and the S60600 model uses a fully motorized media feeding system. It automatically controls motor strength and media tension, depending on the weight settings.
• Setup: The Auto Media Adjust feature is an excellent feature that allows you to quickly set up the head alignments and feed adjustments.
• Automated maintenance: The printer has a fabric-wiping system that's user-replaceable and efficient. It automatically cleans the area around the head surface, and the air filters are user-replaceable, as well.
• Clean Air: The internal air filtration system is uniquely designed to clean the air internally before releasing it.
• Less manual maintenance: Depending on how you use the device, manual maintenance should be done monthly. It takes ten minutes, and the printer will warn you of any need to replace the filter.

More About the Epson SureColor S60600 Printer 

Epson SureColor S60600 is top of its class in many aspects. If you have an error with your model, you can find more details on the Epson SureColor S60600 manual.

If the Printer Refuses to Power On

Check whether you've plugged the power cable into the printer and electrical outlet. Confirm if the electrical outlet is experiencing any issues.

If the Printer Fails to Communicate with the Computer

Ensure the interface cable is correctly plugged into the correct terminal. Check whether your interface cable's specifications align with the computer’s (if you're using a USB hub, ascertain whether you're doing it correctly and that it's recognizable). For a recommended client workstation (Macintosh or Windows), you can also check for online assistance.

If You Can't Print Under the Current Network

Consult with your network administrator whether the settings are correct. Then, try connecting your printer directly with a USB cable.

If the Printer Is Experiencing Errors

Ascertain whether any errors exist within the computer by checking the messages and lights on the control panel.

If it Sounds Like It's Working, but not Printing

If the print head is moving, confirm the operation by printing a test pattern (without connecting it to the computer) to verify the printer's status and function. Also, check if the circulation ink displays on the control panel screen.

If the pattern isn't printed correctly, you can hand clean the unit to ensure no nozzles have dried or clogged after long-time use.

If the Prints Don't Match Your Expectations

If the quality delivered is low, the tone is too uneven, check for clogged nozzles. Next, perform feed adjustments, and check if the ink cartridge you're using is old (or fake). The heat presses must also deliver the correct temperature and media settings.
