Epson today unveiled the SureColor® F1070 Business Edition, a complete garment printing system designed for entrepreneurial creators ready to launch or grow their apparel business.
The all-in-one solution includes everything needed to start printing high-quality merchandise from day one, without outsourcing or additional guesswork. It includes the SureColor F1070 hybrid direct-to-film (DTFilm) and direct-to-garment (DTG) printer with a compact size ideal for maker spaces and home studios, and a robust set of inks and maintenance supplies to empower serious creators to bring their designs to life on a wide range of fabrics and products. In addition, Epson is now offering white inks in a multi pack ink program that saves consumers 25% compared to purchasing individual ink packs.
“The new SureColor F1070 Business Edition meets the market need of entrepreneurs and small artisan businesses new to DTFilm and DTG printing that are looking for a seamless way to get started,” said Lily Hunter, product manager, Professional Imaging, Epson America. “Delivering all the benefits of the high-quality, yet affordable, SureColor F1070 with more ink packs and maintenance resources, customers can start printing on day one to create hundreds of sellable items right away.”
Engineered for both DTFilm and DTG printing, the hybrid SureColor F1070 Business Edition supports creative entrepreneurs and artisans looking to bring their unique, high-quality garments and goods to market. The compact, studio-friendly design fits into small shops, garages or maker spaces, and its transparent viewing panels enhance and display the professional printing process. Supporting DTFilm printing, it allows artisans to go beyond traditional DTG printing and transfer personalized designs to virtually any fabrics, including uniquely shaped items, to further customize product offerings and expand new revenue opportunities.
The SureColor F1070 combines outstanding image quality, easy operation and incredibly flexible performance. Featuring a PrecisionCore® Micro TFP® printhead with Nozzle Verification Technology coupled with UltraChrome® DG2 ink with CMYK+Wh, the SureColor F1070 reliably delivers vibrant colors and incredible detail with amazing clarity. Inks are certified by OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT1 and CPSIA-compliant, making them safe for apparel worn by adults, kids and babies.
Additional easy-to-use features include automatic garment height adjustment, with the ability to print on a variety of fabric up to 1-inch thick; innovative touchscreen menu for effortless use; and an automated maintenance system, including a fabric wiper cassette and capping station to maintain printhead integrity. With robust Epson Garment Creator 2 software, compatible with Windows® and macOS®, designers and print service providers can translate their creative concepts into tangible, high-quality garments and products, elevating their artistic visions to reality.
