Epson Launches New 76-Inch Dye-Sublimation Printer for Textile Production

Epson has introduced its latest innovation in the industrial textile printing sector with the unveiling of the SureColor SC-F11000H. Following the success of its predecessors, the SureColor F10000 and F10000H, released in 2020, this new printer is designed to meet the rigorous demands of high-volume textile production.

The SureColor SC-F11000H boasts a robust build, incorporating an optional Jumbo Roll capable of supporting up to 300 kg of media. This enhancement significantly reduces downtime by minimizing the frequency of media changes, thereby enabling uninterrupted production at scale. Ideal for applications across fashion, sportswear, home furnishings, and soft signage, the printer supports CMYK ink configuration, with additional options including orange and violet; fluorescent yellow and fluorescent pink; and light cyan and light magenta ink sets.

Phil McMullin, head of sales for commercial and industrial printing at Epson UK, emphasized the printer's focus on delivering rapid turnaround times, consistent performance, high-quality output, and reliability. "In the dye-sublimation sector," McMullin stated, "customers demand innovative solutions that set new standards."

Key features of the SureColor SC-F11000H include four PrecisionCore Micro TFP printheads and a bulk ink system accommodating 10-liter or three-liter ink boxes with a 'hot-swap' function. Epson Precision Dot Technology integrates Halftone, LUT, and Micro Weave technologies to optimize dye-sublimation processes, ensuring precise color reproduction and sharp details.

Operating at speeds of up to 255 square meters per hour, the printer incorporates advanced drying technology to minimize ink transfer and eliminate wrinkles, ensuring flawless output. Advanced Auto Tension Control further enhances performance by maintaining accurate and stable media feeding throughout the printing process.

Epson's commitment to quality extends to the manufacturing of all printer components, including printheads, ink, and the Epson EdgePrint Pro software. This holistic approach ensures seamless integration and optimized performance, catering to the diverse needs of textile manufacturers and print service providers.

The introduction of the SureColor SC-F11000H underscores Epson's leadership in advancing dye-sublimation printing technology. With its blend of innovation, reliability, and efficiency, the printer is poised to redefine standards in industrial textile printing, empowering businesses to achieve greater productivity and exceptional print quality.
