Seiko I Infotech enhances its
range of ColorPainter printers
Colourgen has announced the
availability of the new Seiko I Infotech
(SIIT) ColorPainter H2 series mild-solvent
inkjet printers, previewed in Japan
last October, exclusively distributed by
Colourgen in the UK.
The new ColorPainter H2 series is
available in two widths, 104” (the H2-104s)
and 74” (the H2-74s). Two colour
configurations are available - four colour
configuration for higher productivity
and economy, and eight colour configuration
for better image quality and true grey-scale
printing.
Melanie Enser, Product Marketing
Manager at Colourgen, says: “The Color-
Painter H2 Series has unmatched productivity
as it prints images with consistent colour
density at a maximum printing speed
of 100sqm per hour in four colour mode
and 50sqm per hour in eight colour mode.

In fact, the quality in four colour mode at
100sqm per hour is extremely impressive
and makes this printer a true contender
for users who need very high speed,
quality banner printing. Several new
innovative printing functions taken from
the ColorPainter W-Series are now
standard in the H2 series including Smart
Nozzle Mapping, which offers the ability
to remap a clogged nozzle instead of
having to replace a print head. Dynamic Dot
Printing (DDP) Technology allows the
printer to jet three different drop sizes per
print pass. This means the printer can print
at maximum printing speed without density
loss while maintaining fine graininess
even at low printing resolution.”
Colourgen also now supplies Seiko I
Infotech’s new low odour, HAPs-free
(hazardous air pollutants) inkset for the
ColorPainter W-Series large format eco
solvent printers. The new IX ink is better
for both the environment and for
employee health as SIIT has eliminated
HAPs from both the ink chemicals and
the pigments.
Seiko I Infotech’s IX inks have been
specially formulated for low odour printing.
The residual odour of the printed image
evaporates quickly, extending the application
range of the ColorPainter W- Series printers
from outdoors to the more odour sensitive
indoor market, such as signage in
grocery shops and small space graphics
in trains and lifts.
The ColorPainter H2 and W-Series
printers are available now from authorised
Colourgen Business Partners.
