Print Direct-to-Garment with Epson's All-New SureColor SC-F2000

EPSON has made a printer for the textile industry, a large format printer that has been wholly designed and developed using Epson’s proprietary technology — from its newly developed PrecisionCore print head to its UltraChrome DG ink — and even in the pretreatment liquid used in the process.

To address the region’s largest and fastest growing market for textile printing, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4%, there is no doubt that small to medium businesses can benefit from the Epson SureColor SC-F2000’s revenue-generating features. Combined with high performance, low maintenance, and low running costs, the F2000 is an ideal investment for SMEs.

This will address the need of the online t-shirt shops, production t-shirt printers, and even corporate users will benefit from the SC-F2000, with its crack-resistant ink that is soft against the skin. Users can configure the system to suit their needs by choosing from two sets of CMYK ink for white garments or up to four white inks for color garments.

While this is Epson’s first direct-to-garment printer to be unveiled, the printing solutions leader is no stranger to the textile industry. Epson has been an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for the direct-to-garment industry for more than 10 years and is leveraging on their experience and strong background to forge a path toward market leadership.

The SC-F2000 offers a resolution of up to 1440x1440dpi for accurate dot shape and placement, while its wide color gamut produces vibrant colors, sharp contours, and smooth gradations.

Despite its ability to create a lasting visual impact, Epson’s UltraChrome DG ink is kind to those it comes into contact with. The eco-friendly ink has been awarded a part certification from Oeko-Tex Standard 1001, which means it doesn’t contain any harmful substrates.
