Epson introduced new printers to its Monna Lisa series at the textile technology trade show ITMA2023 (8-14 June), in Milan, Italy. The Monna Lisa 24,000 is the first printer in the ML line to feature 24 Epson precisioncore printheads with 12 colours.
Epson launched its Monna Lisa ML-16000/HY, Monna Lisa ML-24000 models (pictured), as well as the Monna Lisa ML-32000 and Monna Lisa ML-38000 in the new 340cm width.
“Epson is constantly focused on renewing and expanding its range of solutions for textile printing and offering its customers the opportunity to meet the needs of an increasingly demanding and competitive market seeking the experimentation of new approaches, from shorter processes to the use of new fibres,” says Paolo Crespi, commercial director Epson Como Printing Technologies (pictured right).
“Thanks to our extended Monna Lisa series, we strongly want to highlight how the transition to increasingly sustainable textile production processes can be implemented through highly flexible solutions.”
Monna Lisa ML-16000/HY –
“The revolutionary Monna Lisa ML-16000/HY is the ideal printer for companies that need to optimise the production of complex prints and offer the market more creativity,” said a press release. “It can uniquely digitally create any type of the most sophisticated special effects for modern printed fabrics with gold, silver, and glossy tints, ranging from glossy lacquer through to gold and silver metal and opaque white.
Monna Lisa ML-24000 –
“Concept of flexibility and efficiency is raised to the next level thanks to the wide range of available colours, the reduction in the downtime required to change inks and the possibility of producing certified printed fabrics without changing the type of inks in the machine. Monna Lisa is the first printer to feature 24 Epson PrecisionCore prints and 12 colors. This allows it to print on a wide range of fabrics, including synthetics, synthetics, natural fabrics, and even innovative vegetable fibers. The wide variety of inks available allows companies to obtain certifications such as GOTS and OEKOTEX very quickly, all by using one machine.
Monna Lisa ML-8000 You can also find out more about REACID configuration –
“Monna Lisa ML-8000 is the first printer in the series to be designed with the new REACID configuration, which is an absolute novelty in the Monna Lisa landscape and will soon be available on all other printers in the series. This new configuration expands the range of fabrics and materials supported by Monna Lisa Printers. It also includes non-traditional fibres.
Monna Lisa ML-32000 (width 340 cm) –
“The Monna Lisa ML-32000 combines Epson’s high-tech digital technology with unprecedented versatility. With its new width, of 340cm, two fabrics can be printed simultaneously. This improves productivity while reducing resource and energy consumption. The new printer’s width is particularly suitable for furnishing and home textile, allowing even faster printing of curtains, bedspreads, furniture and decorative accessories.
“Epson will also display its SureColor series including its DTG high-productivity printer Epson SureColor SC-F3000, which offers reliability, flexibility and high-quality printing on finished textile products; Epson SureColor SC-F10000H, allowing companies to obtain highest quality results over a wide range of applications, especially for fashion and interior design with cyan and light magenta; and Epson SureColor SC-S80600L, which is equipped with a 10-colour ink set for high quality printing on faux leather for fashion, accessories, and interior decoration.
“On Epson’s stand it is possible to see and touch some examples of fashion creations by some of the most renowned Far Eastern fashion designers, who depend on Epson’s high-quality printing technology for their fashion works. Designers exhibited were: Korean top-fashion designer Lie Sang Bong and Japanese fashion designers Yuima and Aguri Nakazato based in Paris. In particular, Nakazato’s creative works come directly from Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture, where some of his creations were based on the new, more sustainable and potentially industry-transforming textile production concept called Dry Fibre Technology (DFT). Epson’s Dry Fibre Technology concept, which is already used commercially to recycle office paper and which requires virtually no water, could be adapted to produce printable non-woven fabric from used garments.”
