Epson introduces the ML-18000, a cutting-edge industrial Direct-to-Fabric (DTF) printer, setting new benchmarks in the textile printing industry.
Engineered to meet the ever-evolving demands of high-speed textile production, the ML-18000 combines advanced printhead technology, environmental consciousness, and exceptional print quality—making it an ideal solution for modern textile manufacturers.
At the heart of the ML-18000 are 18 state-of-the-art PrecisionCore printheads, which deliver outstanding speed and precision across a wide range of fabric types. This robust printhead configuration enables higher throughput without compromising on clarity or color consistency, helping businesses increase productivity and reduce turnaround times.
One of the standout features of this next-generation printer is its Double Black Ink Technology, which enhances black density significantly—especially critical when printing intricate designs, rich graphics, or deep shadows. Even at high-speed operations, the printer ensures that every detail remains sharp and every shade of black is deep, consistent, and vibrant.
In keeping with the global movement toward sustainable production, the ML-18000 incorporates a built-in water recycling unit, which helps to conserve water and reduce overall environmental impact. This feature not only contributes to more eco-conscious operations but also minimizes water-related operational costs—making sustainability both achievable and economical.
Print quality is further elevated through Precision Dot Technology, which optimizes dot placement and ink density to reduce banding and graininess. The result is consistently high-quality prints with smooth gradients, sharp details, and vivid colors.
The ML-18000 also uses Epson’s environmentally friendly GENESTA inks, which are designed to meet international textile safety standards while maintaining exceptional color performance. These water-based inks are a safer and greener choice, aligning with the requirements of eco-conscious brands and textile manufacturers.
Despite its industrial capabilities, the ML-18000 features a compact and efficient design with a small installation footprint, allowing it to fit seamlessly into existing production spaces without the need for significant infrastructure changes.
Whether you are focused on fashion, home textiles, or soft signage, the ML-18000 delivers the perfect balance of speed, sustainability, and superior output, helping textile businesses stay ahead in a competitive market.
