Epson has launched the new ten-colour SC-V4000 A1+ UV printer, the latest addition to its flatbed line-up
Print press manufacturer, Epson, has announced the launch of the SC-V4000 A1+ UV printer, the latest addition to its flatbed line-up.
Epson’s existing UV flatbed solutions include the SC-V7000, Epson’s first wide-format UV LED flatbed introduced in 2020, and the SC-V1000, which was first introduced in 2024.
The new ten-colour SC-V4000 printer meets the demand for increased productivity, image quality, and useability in what Epson sees as a growing A1/A2 UV flatbed segment.
The SC-V4000 is designed for businesses operating in limited spaces, offering significant productivity gains in comparison to previous models while optimising space efficiency.
It has also been developed to achieve enhanced image quality with sharp text reproduction printing text as small as 2pt, catering to the printing of high-quality personalised items such as fine art, photography, and signage.
The SC-V4000 can print on objects up to 200mm thick and, by using Epson’s own UV DTFilm solution, can print onto a range of curved and challenging substrates.
Chris Davies, manager for Signage and Textile Printing at Epson Europe, says: “The SC-V4000 printer raises the bar in the UV flatbed market.
“With superior colour reproduction, an expanded colour gamut, and improved gradation, we are providing our customers with the means to produce remarkable results for high-quality personalised print items on a diverse range of substrates.”
Other key features of the Epson SC-V4000 include high colour reproduction using Ultrachrome UV inks, with the V4000 offering a ten-colour ink set including dedicated grey, red, white, and varnish channels.
Using three PrecisionCore printheads with 400 nozzles per row, the new printer can support full-speed printing at 300 dpi, allowing for three-layer printing of white, colour, and varnish concurrently.
The SC-V4000 is also designed for simplified front end operation and maintenance, enabling users to manage daily tasks such as gantry movement, nozzle checks, ink replenishments, and waste ink tank from the front.
The new Epson SC-V4000 flatbed UV will be available from summer 2026.
