Epson SureColor F-Series
Significantly Increase Polyester-Based Fabric Production -
Instead of screen printing dye sublimation inks onto transfer paper, we print digitally directly onto the same transfer paper - skipping several steps within the workflow
-
Eliminates all screen printing equipment and chemicals Dramatically reduces floor space requirements Cleans-up the entire production process
Superior Final Print Quality -
Screen printing was limited to solid colors - no photos - up to about 75 lpi With Epson digital imaging technology - there are NO limits on what you can print
No More Limits on Design
Typical Dye Sub Applications 100% Performance Polyester

Footnotes Print speeds for the SureColor F-Series are based on print engine speed only, in bi-directional mode. Speeds shown for other brand printers are the manufacturers stated speeds. Total throughput times depend upon front-end RIP, file size, printer resolution, ink coverage, networking, etc. The SureColor F-Series are designed to use only Epson ink cartridges and refill packs, and not other brands of new or refilled cartridges, or other brands of ink or bulk ink systems. Using Epson ink is important for reliable performance and high image quality. Cost-per-ml is a simple ink cost estimate derived from cartridge MSRP divided by fill volume. This simple estimate does not necessarily reflect the actual cost of ink for a particular print, which can vary considerably based on image printed, print settings, paper type, frequency of use and temperature. For print quality, a variable amount of ink remains in the cartridge after the “Replace Cartridge”indicator comes on. All data contained in this document is still under testing.
