LOS ALAMITOS, Calif. – Sept. 5, 2024 – Epson has announced an expansion of its SureColor® V-Series UV printer lineup with the introduction of its first UV desktop printer, the SureColor V1070. This new A4 desktop printer is designed to deliver the advantages of UV printing to small businesses at an outstanding value, costing less than half of similar desktop flatbed UV printers. It is user-friendly, easy to maintain, and boasts a compact, space-efficient design while producing high-quality prints on a wide range of materials.

The SureColor V1070 will be showcased at PRINTING United in Las Vegas from September 10-12, located at Epson's booth #SL8101.

“Epson is committed to making advanced UV printing technology accessible to all and streamlining the process for customers who are starting their own businesses or exploring the potential of UV printing,” stated David Lopez, product manager for Professional Imaging at Epson America, Inc. “This powerful yet affordable desktop UV printer incorporates the remarkable technology of Epson’s large format UV printers into a compact design that can fit in most spaces, enabling high-quality printing on a wide variety of materials from virtually anywhere.”

The SureColor V1070 is perfectly suited for entry-level users, at-home businesses, e-commerce ventures, maker markets, sign shops, promotional goods manufacturers, and retail or kiosk operations. It is capable of printing on various materials, including wood and acrylic, and can directly print on a wide array of promotional items such as keychains, golf balls, pens, and signage. Its compact, space-saving design allows it to fit seamlessly into virtually any environment, even when positioned against a wall.

The SureColor V1070 is equipped with 6-color UltraChrome® UV Ink, enabling it to produce vibrant, colorful, and textured prints with minimal graininess and smooth gradations across a range of media, including photographic images directly on acrylic. The inclusion of white ink provides opacity on both clear and dark substrates, while the Gloss or Matte Varnish ink adds eye-catching finishes, textures, and embellishments. Its user-friendly design ensures straightforward operation and easy maintenance, making it an excellent choice for first-time UV printer users.

“With the SureColor V1070, we are expanding the UV printer market, making it more accessible to a broader range of customers. This new printer enables entry-level users to print on rigid promotional substrates, allowing them to start or grow an at-home or small sign business with a very low initial investment. We are excited to see how our customers will showcase their unique creativity,” stated Lopez.
