The OEM’s SureColor SC-F9200 machine and HDK black ink are said to “help manufacturers produce high-quality, mass-production textiles quickly and consistently”.
Epson’s SureColor SC-F9200
The new machine utilises the OEM’s PrecisionCore and TFP printhead technology alongside a high-density HDK black ink, the “latest addition” to Epson’s UltraChrome DS ink range for textile printing. The SC-F9200 is said by Epson to offer the “complete package for high-volume textile printing”, and helps keep costs low and help manufacturers “produce high-quality, mass-production textiles quickly and consistently”.
The dye-sublimation machine is also available with sublimation papers that help “ensure every element works in harmony to deliver a range of textiles”. The printer is also “backed up with warranty and service support”, with the HDK black ink producing “deep, neutral blacks and dense shadows”. Two high-capacity ink supply systems allow for “longer, uninterrupted print runs” and “less time spent replenishing inks”, while “maintenance and cleaning needs are low”.
Other features of the wide-format printer include a print resolution of up to 720 x 1,440dpi, a 64-inch wide media platform, speeds of up to 97 square metres per hour and Epson’s Print & Save MPS package for “tighter budget control”, and the machine will be available from October 2015.
Richard Barrow, Senior Product Manager at Epson Europe, commented: “Epson realises how important it is for our customers to keep their overall printing costs down. With the SC-F9200, it is easy to achieve a very low cost per square metre thanks to the high-capacity ink tanks and Epson UltraChrome DS ink. Users can also cut costs even further by using our new HDK black ink, which needs less ink to create dense, neutral blacks, helping reduce the overall ink consumption.”
