Epson SureColor S8170 — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Epson SureColor S8170 best for?

The S8170 is a 64-inch production solvent printer built for medium to large sign shops running high volumes of banners, vehicle wraps, stickers, and outdoor signage. With print speeds over 20% faster than the previous generation and a 6-color UltraChrome GS3 ink set, it's designed for shops where throughput and consistent color matter most.

How fast does the SureColor S8170 print?

In our testing, the S8170 reached up to 243 sq ft/hr on adhesive vinyl, 358 sq ft/hr on banner media, and 725 sq ft/hr in 2-pass mode. Epson rates it over 20% faster than the previous generation. Nozzle Verification Technology monitors nozzle health automatically, so it holds those speeds without wasting media on reprints.

Should I buy the S8170 or the S9170?

Choose the S8170 for speed and value: its 6-color UltraChrome GS3 ink set and PrecisionCore Micro TFP printhead deliver the fastest output in Epson's solvent lineup at a lower price point. Choose the S9170 for maximum color: its 11-color ink set with red, orange, green, and white options covers a wider gamut for color-critical work. Our S8170 vs S9170 video breaks down the speed test side by side.

How does the S8170 compare to the HP Latex 730?

It's a solvent-versus-latex decision. The S8170's solvent inks deliver excellent outdoor durability and scratch resistance with low ink costs (around $0.19/mL) — ideal for wraps and banners that live outside. Latex inks are water-based and odorless with instant-dry output. Our S8170 vs HP Latex 730 video walks through which technology fits different shop workflows.

What ink does the S8170 use, and what does it cost to run?

It uses Epson's 6-color UltraChrome GS3 ink set (CMYK plus Light Cyan and Light Magenta for less banding at production speeds) in hot-swappable 800 mL or 1.5-liter bags you can mix and match. Ink runs about $0.19 per mL, and the fast-drying formulation allows same-day lamination.

What's the price, and is there a rebate available?

The S8170 Production Edition is regularly priced at $23,685, with additional savings available through instant rebates that vary from month to month. See the current pricing information at the top of this page. Call 1-800-771-9665 for current availability and freight delivery options.

What's included with the printer, and what software comes with it?

The box includes the S8170 printer, a full set of 800 mL inks (C, M, Y, K, Lc, Lm), a maintenance parts kit, media lifter, waste ink bottle, and cleaning supplies. Software includes a 1-year ONYX Go Plus RIP subscription, Epson Edge Print Pro, and Epson Cloud Solution PORT for production and fleet monitoring.

Can S8170 prints be laminated the same day?

Yes. The UltraChrome GS3 solvent inks are formulated for extremely fast dry times, so prints can be laminated the same day they're produced — a major throughput advantage for shops promising quick turnarounds on banners and vehicle wraps.

Is the printhead user-replaceable?

Yes. The S8170's PrecisionCore Micro TFP printhead is user-replaceable, so a head swap doesn't mean a service call or days of downtime. Combined with hot-swap ink bags and automatic nozzle verification, the printer is engineered to keep production moving.

What warranty comes with the S8170?

Epson includes a 1-year limited warranty with the S8170. For pre-sale guidance, call IT Supplies at 1-800-771-9665 (Mon–Fri, 8 AM–5 PM CST) — our specialists help shops compare models and confirm the right fit before you buy.

2 Versus previous generation.

3 Part of the ink from the first cartridges/packs is used for initializing the printer. Ink usage will vary considerably based on images printed, print settings, paper type, frequency of use, temperature and humidity. Variance may be more pronounced when printing infrequently or predominantly with one ink color. Ink is used for printing and printer maintenance, and all colors must be available for printing. For print quality, a variable amount of ink remains after the "replace ink" indicator comes on.
