Epson has a new mid-range UV flatbed printer addition to its V-Series UV printer lineup. The SureColor V4000 has been designed to meet the needs of small to medium sized sign shops and merchandise production businesses looking to expand their service offerings with reliable, high‑quality output and broad material handling capabilities.
Shuhei Sato, Epson Australia’s Senior Product Manager for Professional Print Solutions, says: “The SureColor V4000 fills an important space in our UV flatbed portfolio, offering a smart balance of productivity, media versatility and image quality for customers who are scaling their operations.”
“This model is designed for sign makers and merchandise producers who need the capabilities of a mid-range system without the footprint or complexity of a high-end flatbed.”
The SureColor V4000 supports printing on a wide range of rigid and flexible substrates such as acrylic, vinyl, Coreflute, film, canvas and wood and has the ability to handle media up to 980x700mm and up to 200mm thick. This versatility makes it suitable for the production of signage, POP/POS materials, décor panels, premium packaging, cabinetry components and customised promotional items, giving growing businesses a practical path to broaden their application range.
Featuring Epson’s UltraChrome UV ink with eight colours plus white and varnish, Epson claims that the printer can deliver ‘vibrant colour expression, smooth tonal gradations and excellent detail reproduction’. Dedicated printheads for colour, white and varnish support simultaneous multi‑layer printing, allowing users to create high-impact layering effects and textured finishes without sacrificing productivity. Variable Sized Dot Technology (VSDT) further enhances image precision across all applications and also allows the printer to deliver precise line and text quality, producing superior detail that is particularly beneficial for small-format applications that demand exceptional clarity.
The printer is also compatible with Epson Genuine UV DTFilm solutions, supporting printing onto complex or three‑dimensional surfaces.
Other user-friendly features of the new printer include:
- front access, for straightforward media handling and maintenance;
- an auto media height laser sensor, to ensure accurate head alignment across varying substrate thicknesses;
- a multi‑zone vacuum system for stable media control;
- an integrated ioniser to reduce static; and
- a jam detection sensor to maximise operational reliability.
The SureColor V4000 UV flatbed printer is expected to ship in Australia and New Zealand in late 2026.
