Epson Introduces its First UV Flatbed Desktop Printer

Epson today introduced an expansion to its SureColor V-Series UV printer line and its first UV desktop printer - the SureColor V1070. Designed to bring the power of UV printing to small businesses for an exceptional value - at less than half the cost of comparable desktop flatbed UV printers - the new A4 desktop printer is easy to use and maintain, features a compact, space-saving design and prints high quality output on a variety of materials.

"Epson is dedicated to making cutting-edge UV printing technology accessible to everyone and simplifying the process for customers starting their own business or just beginning to explore the possibilities of UV printing," said David Lopez, product manager, Professional Imaging, Epson America, Inc. "This powerful, yet affordable, desktop UV printer brings all the incredible technology of Epson's large format UV printer into a compact design that can fit into most places, allowing for high quality printing on almost anything from virtually anywhere."
Ideal for entry-level, at-home users, e-commerce businesses, maker markets, sign shops, promotional good manufacturers, and retail/kiosk businesses, the SureColor V1070 prints on materials such as wood and acrylic and directly on a large range of promotional materials such as keychains, golf balls, pens, and signage. The printer's compact, space-saving design makes it a seamless fit for virtually anywhere - even when pushed against the wall.

Featuring 6-color UltraChrome UV Ink, the printer delivers stunningly bright, colorful and textured prints with low graininess and smooth gradations on a variety of media, including photographic images printed directly on acrylic. White ink delivers opacity on clear or dark substrates, and eye-catching Gloss or Matte Varnish ink offers finishes, textures and other embellishments. A user-friendly design offers simple operation and easy maintenance, ideal for even first-time UV printer users.
"With the SureColor V1070, we are opening the UV printer market, making it more accessible to many more customers. This new printer will allow entry-level customers to print on rigid promotional substrates to start or grow an at-home or small sign business with a very low initial investment. We can't wait to see how our customers will bring their uniqueness into the spotlight," said Lopez.
Availability
The SureColor V1070 will be available later this month for $8,495 (MSRP) through Authorized Epson Professional Imaging Resellers with a one-year limited warranty.

Cool, and while it's not really targeted to average everyday users, it's probably still a bit pricey for the SOHO/SMB market, but perhaps bigger biz's might look at them for the creativity aspects :D

You guys have no idea how expensive that kind of printer is at an industrial level... I'm going to be real, even that entry-level model is meant for people who are going to launch a business you don't buy an UV printer for leisure unless you are rich. The cost also takes into account the worldwide support, some of those printing companies can fly someone out to teach you how to set the whole thing up and give you tips on maintenance and general usage. (Speaking from experience, my job just bought two UV printers). You can probably find a Chinese printer for cheaper, but good luck to get the same level of support.
The home business competition is priced like this :

Now if you start to get serious about it :
