Epson unveils next-generation SureColor S8160 eco-solvent printer

Epson has unveiled its new SureColor S8160 eco-solvent printer, the latest addition to its large format signage printer range. Replacing the SC-S60600 and SC-S60660L models, the new 64-inch S8160 is a next-generation eco-solvent signage printer that offers outstanding productivity, exceptional image quality and a wide colour gamut in a compact, user-friendly design.

The S8160 will make its Australian debut on Epson stand C48 at PacPrint 2025 from 20 to 23 May 2025 at the Sydney Showgrounds.

The SureColor S8160 features Epson’s latest 2.64-inch PrecisionCore MicroTFP printhead, designed for exceptional reliability and long-term performance. It ensures minimal downtime, while advanced technologies – including an integrated temperature sensor, nozzle verification, and nozzle replacement system – work together to deliver consistent image quality, precise colour accuracy and improved workflow efficiency.

It also features a six-colour UltraChrome GS3 ink set, including light cyan and light magenta, delivering smooth gradations, vibrant colours, and sharp detail. It supports a wide range of materials, including vinyl, canvas, film, wallpaper, and roll media up to 1,626 mm wide, making it a versatile choice for high-quality printing. The inks are GreenGuard Gold certified and low-VOC, reducing environmental impact without compromising print quality.

For uninterrupted high-volume production, the new S8160 printer features dual ink slots per colour, enabling hot swapping and ink replacement without pausing print jobs. 
The SureColor S8160 also allows for flexible ink configuration, enabling the installation of either 800 ml or 1,500 ml of any colour to optimise workflow efficiency while minimising plastic waste.

Specifically engineered for ease of use and maximum productivity, the S8160 features a compact, flat-top, low-profile design and clear top window with integrated lighting for easy monitoring. The printer also includes an advanced auto tension control system and a media lifter, making media setup simpler and more precise.
The printer has a 4.3-inch tiltable touchscreen, featuring animated instructions for smooth operation, for the best intuitive user experience.

Finally, the printer comes with Epson Edge Print Pro RIP software for seamless integration and Epson Cloud Solution PORT, providing comprehensive reporting, tracking, and cost analysis tools to help businesses streamline operations and maximise profitability.

The SureColor S8160 eco-solvent printer is expected to ship in late 2025 in Australia and New Zealand.
