“The SureColor F2270 was purpose-built with an eye toward what’s happening in the industry. Specifically, we wanted to address the needs of print shops transitioning from mass production to producing what’s needed,” said Tim Check, senior product manager, Professional Imaging, Epson America, Inc. “With its ability to produce high quality output, with great reliability and consistency, print shops can now create premium quality products, designed to last years. This also results in less waste from the print process to the garment wearability.”
Built for DTG printing and DTFilm, the SureColor F2270 Hybrid Printer features a PrecisionCore.® MicroTFP with Nozzle Verification Technology (and next-generation UltraChrome)® DG2 ink to deliver vibrant colors and incredible detail at impressive speeds – up to 20% faster when printing on dark garments.1 The printer’s cartridge-free bulk ink pack system helps reduce ink replacement frequency. Automatic garment thickness adjustment is available. It measures garment thickness with multiple sensors, during the loading procedure. A garment height profile will be created. The printhead will then be automatically adjusted to optimize the print quality.
Other features that will bring new levels of versatility and efficiency for the apparel decorator, promotional product, and ecommerce fulfillment industry include:
- Low Maintenance – Dedicated cleaning solution channels and fabric head wiper system help reduce downtime
- Intuitive design – Flattop work surface can hold items; large 4.3-inch touchscreen interface with ergonomically placed control buttons
