Epson says its latest textiles printing technology is providing printers with the ability to print with superior quality, performance and reliability when imaging cloth, garments and merchandise. The company says the SureColor SC-F2000, a direct-to-garment printing platform for work involving cotton-based shirts, caps, bags, and promotional items, is already proving popular among Australian organisations, including Mogo Zoo in NSW.
Mogo Zoo spokesperson Clive Brookbanks says the SureColor SC-F2000 is for printers looking for an edge, as it provides printing solutions that could ‘add value to businesses on multiple levels’. Brookbanks says, “The primary factors in choosing the Epson SureColor SC-F2000 was the simplicity, quality and speed of the machine coupled with the minimal training and experience required when it came to garment printing. We were amazed that one staff member with little training was able to produce up to 75 t-shirts in one day and this included the pre and post treatment of the garments. “We compared the SureColor SC-F2000 against the other printers in its class but found the SC-F2000 offered a much better all-round solution for our printing needs.” According to Epson, prints can be made to pre-cut fabric or finished garments, with a small heat press used to 'fix' the dye. Ryan Warby, Epson Australia national business development manager – sign and display, says the SC-F2000 is not only suited to clothing manufacturers but also retailers looking for options to add value to their apparel offering or minimise inventory levels. Hey says, “The SC-F2000 gives retailers great print quality from a unit that has low maintenance requirements, requires minimum space for installation and is extremely easy to use. “The printing platform and ink have been developed together. This integrated approach not only ensures exceptional image quality with reduced running costs, but also enhanced mechanical durability and maintenance.”
