The EPSON SureColor S9170 is a new addition to the S-Series lineup, not a replacement for the SureColor S80600. It features an 11-color ink set, with the notable addition of GREEN ink. While it uses the same UltraChrome GS3 ink as the SureColor S80, the Green ink replaces metallic silver, expanding the color gamut by 13-19% compared to the S80.

The S9170 boasts a compact, precise, and efficient design, about a foot narrower than previous models. Its flat-top design not only enhances its aesthetics but also provides functional workspace. This printer introduces the first-ever user-replaceable print head, featuring the new PrecisionCore TFP print head, which is 1.3 times larger than that of the S80. It offers reduced banding and includes an ink temperature sensor directly on the nozzle.

Users can mix and match inks, choosing between 800mL or 1.5L ink packs. The S9170 also offers faster startup times with no need for cleaning packs or cartridges during initialization. Its nozzle verification technology automatically adjusts when a nozzle isn’t firing properly. Additionally, the printer is equipped with front and back loading levers and a media lifter for easier handling. Epson is collaborating with ONYX to provide a supporting RIP.

Epson SureColor S9170 — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Epson SureColor S9170 best for?

The S9170 is Epson's flagship 64-inch roll-to-roll solvent printer, built for sign shops that need maximum color: vehicle wraps, banners, wall graphics, stickers, and fine art. Its 11-color UltraChrome GS3 ink set delivers up to 99% PANTONE coverage, and opaque white ink prints on clear or dark substrates.

Choose the S9170 for color: its 11-color ink set with red, orange, green, and white covers the widest gamut in Epson's solvent lineup — ideal for color-critical wraps and fine art. Choose the S8170 for speed and value: its 6-color setup delivers the fastest output at a lower price. Our S8170 vs S9170 video compares them side by side.

For most shops, yes. The S9170's larger printhead and enhanced ink algorithms deliver higher ink density with fewer passes for dramatically faster output — and in blind testing, experts couldn't distinguish 4-pass S9170 output from 8-pass S80600 output. The new green ink also expands the color gamut 13–19% over the S80600. Our S9170 vs S80600 speed-test video shows the real-world results.
