The T3270, a standing unit adapted from a CAD printer, offers 24-in.-wide output and uses UltraChrome XD 5-color pigmented inks.
Both units are bundled with AccuRIP Black Pearl SE software and Epson’s Screen Positive Film, products designed specifically for screen positives, though each unit allows users to also print proofs and production graphics with the same machines. According to Epson, the SureColor SP series models can print halftones up to 65 lines/in. with high UV opacity and a dMax (black density) of up to 4.0.
