Introducing the Epson SureColor S8170 Production Edition Printer! šŸŽ‰

šŸš€ A New Chapter in Epson’s S-Series Legacy

Epson’s SureColor S-Series has long been synonymous with production excellence, trusted by print professionals around the world for signage, vehicle wraps, dĆ©cor, and fine-art applications. Now, the series takes another leap forward with the Epson SureColor S8170 Production Edition — a printer engineered for higher throughput, lower running costs, and unparalleled color consistency.

Epson S8170

With the S8170 replacing the legendary S60600, Epson introduces new levels of flexibility in ink management, refined maintenance automation, and dual RIP workflow software — all bundled to deliver a complete, production-ready system right out of the box.

At $24,995.00 MSRP, the S8170 represents a next-generation production solution that blends efficiency, precision, and durability for busy print shops that demand results.

šŸ’§ Mix-and-Match Ink System for Maximum Flexibility

One of the standout upgrades in the S8170 is its dual-capacity ink bag system — the same proven setup used on the SureColor S9170.

You can mix or match 800 mL and 1.5 L ink bags, giving your team complete control over ink usage and cost management. Smaller 800 mL bags are perfect for specialty color runs or lower-volume media, while the 1.5 L bags minimize changeovers during long print runs.

šŸ”¹ Benefits of the new ink system

  • Reduced downtime: Fewer ink replacements on long jobs

  • Lower operating costs: Larger bags reduce cost per mL

  • Eco-friendly packaging: Less plastic waste per liter of ink

  • Consistent performance: Compatible with S9170 inks for easy integration
