Epson Launches Its First Direct-to-Film Printer

Amid the growing popularity of the direct-to-film (DTFilm) market, Epson launched the new SureColor® G-Series product line and its first wide-format DTFilm printer – the SureColor G6070.

Designed to address the wants and needs of garment decorators looking for a versatile solution to embellish a wide variety of materials in an efficient manner with minimal cost, the SureColor G6070 is engineered to deliver reliability, ease of use, minimal maintenance, and consistent print quality.

The SureColor G6070 will be on display at Impressions Expo in Long Beach, CA from Jan. 23-25 in Epson’s booth.

“Many print service providers are already using DTFilm in their shop, yet are spending much of their resources maintaining their equipment, rather than growing their busi-ness,” said Andreas Goehring, director, Professional Imaging, Epson America, Inc.

“No matter what market we enter, Epson strives to bring reliability, accessibility and print quality to customers, and that is no different with the SureColor G6070,” added Goehring. “This model is designed to open new doors for apparel decorators looking to explore new and creative ways to produce stunning apparel.”

The compact SureColor G6070 features a front-loading media design that supports a 35.4-inch print width to fit more transfers per roll and enables the production of over-sized graphics. Leveraging a PrecisionCore Micro TFP printhead with Nozzle Veri-fication Technology, as well as a large-capacity sealed-ink-pack system featuring new UltraChrome DF inks, it consistently delivers professional-grade prints with vibrant colors and crisp, detailed clarity. UltraChrome DF inks are OEKO-TEX ECO PASS-PORT certified,2 CPSIA-compliant and non-toxic.

The SureColor G6070 requires just a few minutes of upkeep each week to keep the printer running smoothly, minimizing downtime and increasing production capabilities. The SureColor G6070 will be available in the spring through Epson Professional Im-aging resellers for $13,995 MSRP.
