Seiko Instruments showcased its ColorPainter M-64s, the company’s new low-odor, mild-solvent, high-speed inkjet printer. The M-64s offers 64-inch-wide printing in 6 or 7 colors, with speeds up to 716 sq ft/hr (535 sq ft/hr in Fast Production mode); max. resolution is 900 dpi. Seiko reports that the machine’s high-speed printing capability was developed specifically to address the growing demand for high productivity from the signage and indoor-graphics markets. The printer features low-odor, high-speed SX inks, including the use of a gray ink on the 7-color model (the addition of gray improves real monochrome printing with no color shift, and offers smoother gradations in color prints, Seiko reports).

Also: Smart Pass Technology 4, Seiko’s banding-reduction function; Smart Nozzle Mapping 2; Dynamic Dot Printing Technology, to produce better colors and facilitate high-density printing without speed loss; and more.
