The revolutionary PrecisionCore printhead is the heart of every Epson large-format printer. It combines our best-in-class ink technology with advanced microelectromechanical system (MEMS) fabrication processes to create a remarkably thin chip that replaces all the complex parts in traditional printers. This breakthrough in inkjet printing technology enables our printers to print at speeds up to twice as fast as previous generations while delivering exceptional image quality and performance.
PrecisionCore is the result of a long-term commitment to innovation. It uses our proprietary thin film piezo technology with industry-leading MEMS fabrication to achieve unparalleled print performance and reliability. It consists of the MicroTFP print actuator, ink channels and nozzle plates – all made from high-quality silicon, bonded together to form one ultra-thin, self-healing chip that prints at speeds up to twice as fast as conventional piezo inkjet heads.
Epson’s MicroTFP print head is just 1 micron thick, yet it can control the shape and volume of each droplet at 50,000 times per second per nozzle. This enables it to accurately place each pixel for superb image clarity and detail. The ink channel and nozzle plate work together to control the flow of ink into the printhead, firing each ink droplet with incredible accuracy.
In addition, the ink channels in the PrecisionCore print head have a built-in heater that allows for printing on a wide range of garment fabrics and is also OEKO-TEX® certified. This results in outstanding color and white opacity across a broad spectrum of fabric types, making it easy to meet a variety of customer demands for high-quality, sustainable printing.
The printer’s dual 2.6″ PrecisionCore MicroTFP printhead has been designed from the ground up to maximize print productivity and minimize downtime. With features like automatic garment thickness adjustment, Epson Garment Creator 2 software, a quick-load platen and an innovative maintenance design that includes the use of a cartridge-free bulk ink system, the SureColor F2270 delivers exceptional print quality and reliability.
To ensure the highest possible levels of quality and performance, the SureColor F2270 is assembled in our Building 9 factory with a focus on sustainability. The facility is powered by renewable energy, and the printers themselves have been designed to be highly efficient with a focus on waste reduction, power consumption and noise emissions.
UltraChrome DG Ink
The best DTG printer on the market, the Epson SureColor F2100 uses a new PrecisionCore MicroTFP printhead and UltraChrome DG ink to offer up to twice as fast light garment printing as previous models. This means you can produce high-quality prints in less time, which is great for increasing productivity in your shop.
This unique ink technology was designed specifically for DTG printing and is the key to producing outstanding color and white opacity on a variety of fabrics, including cotton and cotton-polyester blends. The ink has an exceptional density for impressive white imaging, and the colors are vibrant and life-like. In addition, the ink is safe for children’s clothing as it passes the OEKO-TEX ECO PASSPORT specification.
A good DTG printer is only as reliable as the ink it uses. To help ensure that the ink is clean and free of contaminants, Epson has developed an ink cartridge with a smart filtering system. This in-line filter screens the ink before it enters the print head, ensuring that your prints are as clean and crisp as possible.
In addition, the ink is designed to resist cracking and fading for long-lasting quality. This means that your prints will last as long as silk screen printed garments, and they won’t fade after repeated washings.
The printer also features a quick-load platen that eliminates the need for an external hoop and allows you to load shirts with ease and speed. This helps you increase productivity in your shop, which means more shirts being printed and sold and less downtime for maintenance.
We recommend using genuine Epson ink cartridges for your garment printer to ensure you’re getting the best performance out of it. Our Epson inks are available in 600ml volume, which means you’ll have to swap them out less often and spend less time on maintenance. We also carry a wide range of Epson accessories to make it easier for you to keep your machine running smoothly.
Embroidery
Embroidery is the art of decorating fabric with thread or yarn. It’s a popular way to customize clothing, bags, and other textiles, and it can make your products stand out from the competition. However, this process isn’t cheap. If you want to start selling your embroidery designs, you’ll need to invest in high-quality equipment. A good machine will produce beautiful, long-lasting results. It will also be easy to maintain. If you’re unsure how to choose the best embroidery machine for your business, consider the following factors:
The Epson F2100 has revolutionized custom apparel printing. Its exceptional print quality, user-friendly operation, and commitment to sustainability set it apart from the rest. Here are some of its most impressive features:
It has the ability to print on dark garments, even with complex patterns. It also produces vibrant colors, and its inks are eco-friendly. It also works well with cotton blends, though it’s important to note that the inks may not adhere as effectively on synthetic fabrics.
To print on fabrics, the F2100 uses specialized inks that are water-based. It also has a heated press that flattens the fibers, which makes it easier to apply ink. The printer can also be used on a variety of different fabrics, including hats and shoes. This versatility can help you expand your product line and increase your revenue potential.
Another benefit of DTG printing is that the prints don’t fade, unlike screen-printed shirts. This means that you can produce t-shirts with a variety of patterns and designs, and they will last for the life of the shirt. The printing process is also fast, and it allows you to create multiple shirts at once.
To get the best results from your DTG printer, use a high-quality, 100% cotton fabric. This will ensure that the inks adhere to the fabric and produce vibrant colors. It is also important to make sure that your printer is properly maintained. It’s essential to follow the maintenance schedule recommended by the manufacturer. Additionally, it’s important to make test prints before beginning production to ensure that your designs turn out correctly.
Easy Maintenance
Compared to screen printing, which can require expensive equipment and training, a direct-to-garment printer offers lower maintenance costs. In addition, a DTG printer allows you to create high-resolution, full-color garment prints that last for dozens of washes. However, like any other piece of equipment, you must keep up with regular maintenance to ensure that your printing business continues running smoothly.
To keep your print head in tip-top shape, you need to perform a nozzle check on a daily basis. A nozzle check is an important part of the daily maintenance process because it ensures that the print head is distributing ink evenly and that no clogs or blockages are present. To perform a nozzle check, follow these steps:
Start by turning on your printer and pressing the maintenance button. After a few minutes, the printer will run a maintenance routine to clean out any excess ink and to remove any clogs or blockages. Then, you can proceed with your daily maintenance.
You should also regularly clean the wiper blade on your print head. This is a small blade that looks like a tiny windshield wiper and it is used to wipe the bottom of your print head. Because you are printing so quickly and literally dumping ink on the shirt every time, the wiper can get dry and stop working. To keep it functional, wipe the wiper blade on a daily basis and apply a light lubricant to it.
Another crucial maintenance task is to keep a spare waste pad. This 2” x 2” pad, which only costs a few dollars, sits on the side of your printer and absorbs excess ink. When it gets full, replace it with a fresh one as a part of your daily maintenance.
Finally, you should always store your printer in a cool, dry area when it is not in use. This will help prevent the ink from drying and cracking over time. In addition, you should avoid using non-genuine ink cartridges with your printer. These cartridges can cause damage that is not covered by Epson’s warranty and may lead to erratic printer behavior.
