Smart battery management also allows those managing large operations to monitor the battery health for individual printers across numerous locations, helping reduce the cost of replacement. The PW4NX has a durable body designed to survive drops of up to 2.14m (seven feet) and its IP54 rating protects it against dust and water splashes in the most demanding working environments. In the warehouse, the PW4NX also has the exceptional vibration resistance needed for mobile printers

mounted on forklifts. “I am excited to add a high- performance mobility option to our product range,” said Goro Yumiba, global operations officer at SATO

Holdings Corporation. “In addition to its best-in-class design, we will make PW4NX the centrepiece of customer-centric solutions with genuine consumables and add-on services like MDM, apps and maintenance support that reduce running costs over the lifetime of the investment.”

Epson introduces new photo printers

Epson has added three new 24-inch models to its existing 44-inch SureColor SC-P8500D large-format printer, designed for high- volume poster production and copy shops. The three new 24-inch (610mm) models - the SureColor SC-P6500E (single roll), SC- P6500D (dual roll with PostScript) and SC- P6500DE (dual roll) and the 44-inch SureColor SC-P8500DL join the 44-inch (1117mm) SureColor SC-P8500D to form the SureColor SC-Px500 Series. Based on Epson’s Micro TFP PrecisionCore technology, all products in the series use the company’s six-colour UltraChrome Pro6 pigment inks, which now include an additional grey ink to broaden the colour gamut. The SC-P8500DL includes 1.6L built-in ink packs for high print runs of large format photos and posters. They deliver exceptional print quality, and feature an extremely compact design, smart features and easy operation. All products also offer the enhanced levels of security and device management required by its target segments.

Delivering print speeds up to 18m2/ hr without loss of image quality, and with controls accessible via the front of the printers to simplify the user experience, the SC-Px500 series is designed to boost productivity. The products also feature a printhead that is protected from dust and particulates, reducing maintenance costs, while the six-colour ink set also cuts running costs by using less ink, compared with other eight-colour models. To allow documents to be printed confidentially and securely in busy copy shop and retail environments, the printers offer enhanced IT and security features, which include NFC security protection, plus encrypted PIN and password-controlled access. As ease of use is a key requirement, the SC- Px500 Series printers have been designed to be simple and intuitive to operate, through a customisable 4.3-inch touch panel positioned for easy access, while paper roll loading and unloading is also easy, thanks to an automatic drop-in mechanism. Productivity is further enhanced through the Epson Cloud Solution PORT, which enables printer status to be checked remotely from a smartphone or tablet, while printer use and performance can be monitored via a Production Monitor with real-time updates to ensure high productivity and a rapid resolution of maintenance issues. “With a compact, contemporary design, these 24-inch models are high-quality commercial printers which are perfect for photos and posters,” said Kristin Saus- Opuszynski, manager, product management, Commercial and Industrial products at Epson Europe. “Combined with the 44-inch models, and the new SC-P8500DL, the SC-Px500 Series now offers an ideal solution for anyone in the photo and poster production sector.”
