When Epson decided to develop a commercial outdoor printer, customer
and industry expectations were high. And for good reason. Over the years,
Epson has been known to change the way people print, while transforming
the industry along the way.
As with any new Epson Stylus Pro printer, we looked to the customer
for guidance. And along the way, we received enthusiastic feedback
about every aspect of their business. The result? A new generation of
solvent-based printing technology designed to inspire your clients while
maximizing your profitability.
Introducing the all-new Epson Stylus Pro GS6000.
Designed to exceed all print quality expectations, the Epson Stylus Pro
GS6000 is also the fastest 64-inch wide, roll-to-roll printer in its class.
And, with our profit-focused printer design, everyday use is extremely
simple, while setting new standards in overall printer reliability and
reducing the total cost of ownership. And for the first time ever, Epson
has created an all-new, solvent-based ink technology that has less
harmful impact on both the environment and worker health, while
also being compatible with virtually any solvent-based media.
Inspired by our passion for extreme color gamut and photographic
print quality, Epson UltraChrome®GS Ink technology introduces eight
individual colors, including an all-new Orange and Green. Developed
exclusively by Epson, UltraChrome GS Ink technology eliminates the
need for external dryers and air purification systems. And, not only have
we dramatically reduced harmful VOCs, we’ve completely removed the
element Nickel (Ni) from our inks. The result is a high-performance,
solvent-based ink technology with stunning color gamut and accuracy,
with less impact on the environment.
For unsurpassed print quality up to 91 square-foot-per-hour (SFPH) or
everyday production quality printing up to 180 SFPH, we’ve developed an
all-new Dual-Array MicroPiezo®AMC™print head. Developed specifically
for the Epson Stylus Pro GS6000, our latest print head technology has
been completely redesigned for the demands of high-production solvent
printing. By combining extreme print quality and high-production print
speeds, with remarkable print engine durability, Epson is once again
redefining solvent-based printing technology.
Imagine producing prints with amazing color fidelity and accuracy for the
most demanding vehicle wrap or decorative fine art project. And, with the
same printer, you can produce stunning outdoor banners, posters, and
various photographic tradeshow graphics faster than you thought possible.
Whether you’re trying to supplement your existing production process or
require a single printer to produce virtually any print job that might come
your way, the Epson Stylus Pro GS6000 is the ultimate investment for
any size printing company. Never before have printing professionals
had such a powerful tool allowing them to produce their client’s vision
without compromise. This is the way it should be.

When Epson decided to develop a commercial outdoor printer, customer
and industry expectations were high. And for good reason. Over the years,
Epson has been known to change the way people print, while transforming
the industry along the way.
As with any new Epson Stylus Pro printer, we looked to the customer
for guidance. And along the way, we received enthusiastic feedback
about every aspect of their business. The result? A new generation of
solvent-based printing technology designed to inspire your clients while
maximizing your profitability.
Introducing the all-new Epson Stylus Pro GS6000.
Designed to exceed all print quality expectations, the Epson Stylus Pro
GS6000 is also the fastest 64-inch wide, roll-to-roll printer in its class.
And, with our profit-focused printer design, everyday use is extremely
simple, while setting new standards in overall printer reliability and
reducing the total cost of ownership. And for the first time ever, Epson
has created an all-new, solvent-based ink technology that has less
harmful impact on both the environment and worker health, while
also being compatible with virtually any solvent-based media.
Inspired by our passion for extreme color gamut and photographic
print quality, Epson UltraChrome®GS Ink technology introduces eight
individual colors, including an all-new Orange and Green. Developed
exclusively by Epson, UltraChrome GS Ink technology eliminates the
need for external dryers and air purification systems. And, not only have
we dramatically reduced harmful VOCs, we’ve completely removed the
element Nickel (Ni) from our inks. The result is a high-performance,
solvent-based ink technology with stunning color gamut and accuracy,
with less impact on the environment.
For unsurpassed print quality up to 91 square-foot-per-hour (SFPH) or
everyday production quality printing up to 180 SFPH, we’ve developed an
all-new Dual-Array MicroPiezo®AMC™print head. Developed specifically
for the Epson Stylus Pro GS6000, our latest print head technology has
been completely redesigned for the demands of high-production solvent
printing. By combining extreme print quality and high-production print
speeds, with remarkable print engine durability, Epson is once again
redefining solvent-based printing technology.
Imagine producing prints with amazing color fidelity and accuracy for the
most demanding vehicle wrap or decorative fine art project. And, with the
same printer, you can produce stunning outdoor banners, posters, and
various photographic tradeshow graphics faster than you thought possible.
Whether you’re trying to supplement your existing production process or
require a single printer to produce virtually any print job that might come
your way, the Epson Stylus Pro GS6000 is the ultimate investment for
any size printing company. Never before have printing professionals
had such a powerful tool allowing them to produce their client’s vision
without compromise. This is the way it should be.

A Based upon print engine speed only. Total throughput times depend upon front-end
RIP, file size, printer resolution, ink coverage, networking, etc. All print speeds are
based upon bi-directional printing.
B Cartridge yields vary considerably based on images printed, print settings, paper type,
frequency of use and temperature. For print quality, a variable amount of ink remains
in the cartridge after the "Replace cartridge" indicator comes on. The printer ships with
a full set of cartridges and part of the ink from the first cartridges is used for priming
the printer. Printer ships with 350 ml cartridges.
