Designed to meet the requirements of garment creators and merchandise manufacturers, the SureColor G6060 expands on Epson’s extensive range of fabric printers and is the first model dedicated to direct-to-film production.

Aimed at volume production, it has been designed to deliver consistent quality output with a low running cost, minimum maintenance and a high duty cycle.

Epson Australia business marketing manager for professional print solutions Gordon Kerr said, “Epson has many years’ experience in the fabric market and has grown to be one of the world’s largest providers of print solutions. We understand that quality and consistency is important for customer satisfaction. We also understand maximising reliability while minimising parts and labour expenditure are key to profitable business. The new SureColor G6060 ticks all these boxes and complete with its new designation, is a perfect fit within our fabric line-up.”

In practical terms by employing the DTF process the SureColor G6060 makes adding images and logos to shirts, pants, and accessories simple and straightforward and thus enables imaging on a much wider range of material.

Garment manufacturers seeking a dedicated DTFilm production system can now easily and cost-effectively create custom workwear and teamwear. They can produce event and show merchandise alongside value-add clothing and a wide range of other items including coasters, umbrellas, notepads and binders.

The SureColor G6060 features a compact design with all-front-loaded consumables. It supports film in rolls up to 900mm wide and 250mm in diameter. It incorporates an auto-cutter for sheet-based production and can be use ‘in-line’ with a range of third-party powder shaker/oven machines for roll-based production.

A 1.33” 8 channel PrecisionCore Micro TFP printhead supports print speeds up to 17m2/hr in colour + white and 32.6m2/hr in white or colour only1. Ink-less nozzle status monitoring, auto-head cleaning, auto cap-cleaning and continuous white-ink recirculation ensure consistent high-quality output with maximum productivity and minimum waste.

The printer uses 1.6L UltraChrome DF ink packs that are cost-effective to order, easy to agitate, quick and mess-free to load. Epson Precision Dot image processing ensures the SC-G6060 can produce accurate and consistent prints with bright colour and an enhanced gamut.

The SC-G6060 is designed to operate with minimal operator oversight and minimum manual maintenance. It requires only a few minutes each week to ensure smooth and reliable operation.

It features a high duty cycle and ships with a comprehensive warranty that includes the print head. Service cover can be extended with CoverPlus up to a total of five years for a low total cost of ownership.

Finally, the printer features integrated support for Epson’s Cloud Solution PORT2 service. This free web-based service can be accessed from desktop PCs for direct management as well as Android and iOS devices for remote monitoring. The PORT service provides advanced reporting and costing tools while facilitating enhanced support and service for maximum uptime.

 “The SureColor G6060 is a great addition to Epson’s fabric range and should be well received by manufacturers with volume DTFilm production needs. For users with lower requirements and/or those who wish to produce a mix of DTG and DTFilm we will continue to recommend our SC-F1060, SC-F2260 and SC-F3000 models,” said Kerr.

Additional features of the SureColor G6060 include:

• Easy installation with a footprint of just 1.2m2
• Uses a 240V power supply and consumes just 65W when printing
• Is supplied complete with Epson Edge Print PRO RIP software
• Sheet-based prints are held for release via the control panel
• UltraChrome DF ink is GOTS approved, OEKO-TEX ECO PASSPORT certified,3 and has passed CPSIA Section 108

The new SC-G6060 will ship with a warranty that includes the printhead. It is expected to have a retail price of AUD$27,495 and NZD$30,295 including 5-year CoverPlus, ink and software.

The new SureColor G6060 will be demonstrated on the Epson stand at PacPrint 2025, 20 – 23 May at the Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park.
