LOS ALAMITOS, Calif., Feb. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — As one of the first online print-on-demand manufacturers, Gotham City Online needed a scalable printing solution to keep up with their growing business and increasing customer orders. Epson Direct-to-Garment (DTG), a solution that allows apparel manufacturers to streamline and scale their business, was chosen by Gotham City as both technology and business requirements evolved. Gotham City installed Epson SureColor printers today.® F2100 DTG and SureColor F3070 printers are used to create a variety of textile products.

“The SureColor F2100 industrial series and its next-generation technology, the SureColor F3070, really blew us away,” said David TopkinsGotham City Online, co-founder. “The SureColor F3070 comes with compelling features like increased print speeds, enhanced functionality and sensitivity to the platen’s height. Because of its speed, we have seen better ROI for orders that require large images.
Gotham City, with its SureColor F3070 features for industrial applications, has seen an increase in production with garments that are larger and have large images. Due to the SureColor F3070’s new platen height sensors, thicker apparel such as sweatshirts have also benefited. Printing on the sweatshirt pockets is now easier than ever.
Epson DTG printers were integrated into the manufacturer’s job pull system, which has increased efficiency and streamlined workflow. The SDK was opened up, which allowed us to integrate, control, and tie our systems in controlling the equipment. This made a big difference. Jonathan GarrissGotham City Online CEO:
Topkins added, “Epson’s printers allowed us to scale our business up as needed.” The pod configuration of the printers helps us increase production during peak seasons and times when demand is high.
The SureColor F3070’s bulk ink tanks and easy maintenance features also benefited Gotham City. Garriss stated that the SureColor F3070 allowed us to schedule our maintenance to minimize the negative impact on production. “It doesn’t go down constantly; we don’t have an Epson repairperson here all the times.” It’s nice to have that Epson support network, that Epson is the point of contact, and that they control the quality, from the beginning, from the ink to the parts to the cleaning kits.
“The advances that Epson has made enable us to keep our business running,” says Topkins, “We have been happy with Epson products – the machines, consumables and customer service.”
“The Epson DTG was created to help businesses create reliable, streamlined businesses by printing custom content,” stated Tim CheckSenior Product Manager Professional Imaging Epson America“We are happy that Gotham City used our DTG Technology to scale their business and meet the increasing demand for outstanding products.
