Advanced Printing Technology for SecurColor

Epson is known worldwide for its advanced printing technologies, the high reliability of its products and its innovative solutions designed to solve customer problems, while delivering significant cost savings. The SecurColor™ printer is no exception. It is the first inkjet printer designed to meet the needs of healthcare for on-demand color printing in an easy-to-use and cost-effective way.

MicroPiezo print heads are at the heart of every Epson inkjet printer. The piezo elements inside MicroPiezo print heads ensure precise control over the ink, which helps Epson printers achieve droplets as small as 1.5 picoliters (much finer than a human hair). These tiny droplets produce unprecedented image quality, reliability and faster print speeds. With MicroPiezo print heads, SecurColor prints crisp, clear, easy-to-read graphics, bar codes and text every single time. In addition, SecurColor can print colorfast, waterproof labels without messy thermal transfer ribbons.

To ensure the color accuracy so important to critical healthcare applications, Epson has developed Automatic Nozzle Checking technology for its SecurColor on-demand color inkjet printer. This technology counts the electrical charge from each ink drop to determine if a print nozzle is clogged which could alter the color of the output. If two or more nozzles are clogged, the printer will automatically start a cleaning cycle and in a few seconds the printer is ready to print the true color again.
