The new hybrid printer will help print providers to bring custom apparel to market while minimizing waste and environmental impact
LOS ALAMITOS, Calif. – Epson today announced the new hybrid SureColor® F2270 printer is now available. Purpose-built for both direct-to-garment (DTG) and digital-transfer-film (DTFilm) printing, the SureColor F2270 combines outstanding image quality, easy operation and great value in a highly intuitive design. DTFilm printing allows print providers go beyond traditional clothing printing to transfer to a variety of different materials, such as unique shaped items like shoes, hats or mugs.
Paisley Jo Designs is a custom apparel company that specializes in clothing for businesses, schools, sports teams, clubs and other organizations. Kim Johnson of Paisley Jo Designs uses the SureColor F2270 to great success. She praises the benefits of maintenance, crisp quality print, hybrid features, operation, and her business.
“The SureColor F2270 is a huge asset to our business; we are able to offer vibrant, full color graphics with the soft feel that customers want,” said Johnson. “The hybrid features allow us to easily move from printing digital film transfers to shirts without making any adjustments on the printer, which helps with production times. Epson has gone above and beyond with this new technology and the features offered in the F2270 – it will be a game changer for a lot of businesses.”
Featuring a PrecisionCore® MicroTFP printhead and next-generation UltraChrome® DG2 Ink, the SureColor F2270 delivers vibrant colors and photographic details at impressive speeds – up to 20% faster when printing on dark garments.1 The advanced high-performance printhead technology automatically detects and adjusts performance to produce quality garments and, coupled with a cartridge-free bulk ink pack system, print shops are able to minimize waste and environmental impact.
Other features, such as automatic garment thickness adjustment or robust Epson Garment Creator 2 Software are intended to improve productivity and efficiency. The large 4.3-inch touchscreen, the quick-load platen, as well as Epson Cloud Solution PORT3 which provides real-time printer monitoring including production rates, utilization data, and other features, are all designed to help users maintain their machines.
“The SureColor F2270 is a hybrid print solution built for quality, reliability and versatility. But more than that, the printer was designed with our customers in mind – helping them do it right the first time saves time, money and physical resources,” said Tim Check, senior product manager, Professional Imaging, Epson America, Inc. “The market reception to this product has been exciting and we are eagerly anticipating the results and feedback from our customers once they start using this new printer.”
