Eco-Solvent Printing: Go Beyond Banners
Eco-solvent printers are known for their durability, speed, and vibrant color output. Most businesses rely on them for producing banners—but banners are just the beginning. With the right media and setup, your eco-solvent printer can become a versatile production tool that supports a wide range of profitable print applications.
Why Choose Eco-Solvent Printing?
Eco-solvent printing combines exceptional print quality with long-term outdoor durability, making it ideal for many industries. Here are three reasons to invest more into this technology:
Durability for Outdoor and Commercial Use
Solvent inks chemically bond with the media, providing excellent resistance to UV exposure, scratches, and chemicals. This makes them ideal for outdoor signage, vehicle wraps, floor graphics, and window displays.
Fast Production with High Margins
Epson’s S-Series eco-solvent printers are optimized for high-speed printing. With fast drying times and efficient ink usage, shops can turn around jobs quickly and increase profit margins.
True Versatility
With a simple media change, your printer can shift from banners to dozens of other applications—no new printer required.
What Can You Print Besides Banners?
Here are just a few of the high-demand applications you can offer using your existing eco-solvent printer:
- Window Graphics
- Wall Murals
- Floor Graphics
- Fine Art & Canvas Prints
- Stickers & Decals
- Vehicle Wraps
- Custom Wallpaper
These products are highly profitable and allow your business to offer full-service print solutions for both retail and commercial clients.
Benefits of Solvent Ink Technology
Eco-solvent ink penetrates the media surface and bonds chemically, offering key benefits:
- Fade-resistant and waterproof output
- Compatibility with a wide range of materials
- Deep blacks and rich, vibrant color
- GREENGUARD Gold Certification (safe for schools, healthcare settings, and indoor environments)
With the Epson SureColor S9170, you can reproduce over 99% of the Pantone Color Library, making it ideal for brand-critical applications and high-end decor printing.
Add Cutting to Expand Capabilities
For products like decals and floor graphics, finishing is key. The Epson S-Series can be paired with the Graphtec FC9000 cutter for:
- Contour cutting
- Kiss cutting
- Perf cutting
This setup streamlines production and expands your workflow without needing additional print equipment.
