Japanese printer takes 100th Epson SurePress L-4033A

The six-color SurePress L-4033A can print on a variety of label substrates, such as standard self-adhesive label substrates, semi-gloss, gloss and matte paper stocks, BOPP and PET, using Epson's proprietary Micro Piezo inkjet technology and SurePress AQ inks. A printing speed of up to 5m/min can be achieved at a resolution of 720 x 720dpi on paper, with a web width of 80-330.2mm, adjustable to support any width in this range.

Since launching in October 2010, Epson has worked to raise the performance of the SurePress L-4033A through ongoing discussions with customers, and building up a strong sales and service network worldwide. In December 2012, Epson increased sales further after launching the SurePress L-4033AW with white ink.

As many as 20 percent of SurePress customers have purchased two or more units, Epson added.

‘We are committed to contributing to the profitability of our customers' businesses,’ said Eisuke Shimoyama, general manager responsible for sales and marketing of industrial solutions at Epson.

‘We will launch a new model that includes a printhead using our cutting-edge PrecisionCore technology. Going forward, our aim is to expand our market share and lead the digitalization of the printing industry.’
