Epson’s new SureColor F2200 is ideal for start-up companies or medium-volume businesses that need high levels of flexibility and accuracy, with fast turnaround times.
Designed to produce complex designs on a variety of garments, the SureColor F2200 uses Epson’s advanced PrecisionCore MicroTFP printhead technology to provide faster printing and data processing speeds, resulting in a productivity increase of up to 25% (light garments only, 15% for darker garments, compared with SureColor F2100) over its predecessor, while maintaining extremely high print quality.
With a highly compact, flat top design that allows easy installation into smaller spaces, flexibility is further enhanced through Epson’s bundled GarmentCreator2 software, which not only enables the printing of both DTG and Direct to Film (DTF) but improves the quality of fine lines and small text.
Offering a range of enhanced features designed with ease of use in mind, the SureColor F2200 allows businesses to maintain high levels of production and quality without the need for specialist operators. A transparent lid and internal light, for example, enable easy print-status checking, while an intuitive touchscreen makes operation fast and simple. With automatic carriage height adjustment, the F2200 remains stable with minimal adjustment by the user, and the platen can be easily removed and attached by hand, making adjustment for printing thicker garments quick and straightforward. The GarmentCreator2 software features faster data processing as well as 600dpi resolution, to deliver exceptional colour output.
‘Although the DTG market has become challenging, due to DTF technology, this development offers new and medium-volume businesses with a highly cost-effective and flexible option that delivers outstanding quality and can easily be scaled to meet future needs,’ said Heather Kendle, Manager of Product Management, Commercial and Industrial, Epson Europe.
With a very low TCO, the F2200 uses new UltraChrome DG2 Ink Pouches, instead of cartridges. These 800ml pouches (previously 600ml) mean a lower change frequency, and significantly reduce wastage, in terms of space and weight, compared with ink cartridges. Epson’s DG2 ink also reduces bleed between yellow and black, which is important for applications such as light T-shirts, and maintains colour consistency with DG ink.
