Has anyone ordered the new S70600 or the S60600?

I was reading an article on the new Epson surecolor and there seems to lots of good news according to the article at LexJet. It seems lately that everyone is talking about the HP Latex. the new printers even come equipped with a 2 pass air filtration system to reduce orders completely. Here is the article http://blog.lexjet.com/2016/03/08/f...um=email&utm_campaign=2016-03-22-Epson-S60600

It sure sounds awesome, and if it is even better and faster than the S60670 then it sure must be. We just purchased our Epson a few months ago when this new model came out and the distributor wanted to make room for the new model. We love everything about our printer and have ran over a hundred rolls through it with only a couple head strikes.

According to a video I watched print to lam is only 6 hours with the new inks. IIRC correctly you can load pieces as small as 12" x 22" unlike a latex printer that needs a 42" length. Which in my case is a deal breaker for latex.

Only problem with EPSON is Decision One...they are unable to troubleshoot color and profiles, Envirnmental and media issues...

The new Epson S40, S60, and S80 are very exciting products. We already have many placements and our customers are loving the speed and quick out-gassing allowing for same day lamination. Maintenance has drastically improved with the integrated and replaceable fabric wiping system. The media feed system is completely redesigned with 40 pinch rollers and auto tension control. The printer stand has also been redesigned with additional mounting points and extra reinforcements adding almost 100 pounds to the stand itself.

Our S40 demo machine has been running flawlessly with nothing but great results.

We have the S70670 here, and ever since we completed our first print I'd swear that you "could" laminate it same-day. It seems to be dry right off the dryer (unless you're increasing saturation for backlit signs), we also have the optional dryer on ours; do you know the recommended minimum wait time for out-gassing is?
It also allows for "leafs" of paper unlike the Latex.

No clue about minimum outgas time for Epson inks.
