Focus on DTG Printing Ricoh
Filling a gap in the market A gap in the market for cost effi cient, responsive, and agile production of 100% polyester garments has been closed by the Ricoh Ri 4000 direct to garment printer. The Ricoh Ri 4000 DTG printer addresses a market gap for cost effi cient high quality 100% polyester print production.
The industrial garment printer enables specialists to respond quickly and creatively to end user demand for affordable short runs and customised polyester sportswear perfect for teams and hobbyists. Central to its performance capability is Ricoh’s new built-in enhancer (pre-treatment) solution, which is jetted inside the printer, only when required. It eliminates the need for an additional pre-treatment process and the inconsistent quality of manual pre-treatment to ensure elevated work effi ciency.
The Ricoh Ri 4000 also runs newly developed Ricoh inks resulting in vivid and longlasting prints that maintain their brilliance through numerous washes.

Tailored for medium volume printing The new SureColor F2200 is ideal for start-up companies or medium- volume businesses that need high levels of fl exibility and accuracy, with fast turnaround times.
Designed to produce complex designs on a variety of garments, the SureColor F2200 uses Epson’s advanced PrecisionCore MicroTFP print head technology to provide faster printing and data processing speeds, resulting in a productivity increase of up to 25% over its predecessor, while maintaining extremely high print quality. With a highly compact, fl at top design that allows easy installation into smaller spaces, fl exibility is further enhanced through Epson’s bundled GarmentCreator2 software, which not only enables the printing of both DTG and DTF but improves the quality of fi ne lines and small text.
Offering a range of enhanced features designed with ease of use in mind, the SureColor F2200 allows businesses to maintain high levels of production and quality without the need for specialist operators. A transparent lid and internal light, for example, enable easy print-status checking, while an intuitive 4.3in touchscreen makes operation fast and simple. With automatic carriage height adjustment, the F2200 remains stable with minimal adjustment by the user, and the platen can be easily removed and attached by hand, making adjustment for printing thicker garments quick and straightforward. The GarmentCreator2 software, features faster data processing well as 600dpi resolution, to deliver exceptional colour output.

With a very low TCO, the F2200 uses new UltraChrome DG2 Ink Pouches, instead of cartridges. These 800ml pouches (previously 600ml) mean a lower change frequency, and signifi cantly reduce wastage, in terms of space and weight, compared with ink cartridges. Epson’s DG2 ink also reduces bleed between yellow and black, which is important for applications such as light T shirts, and maintains colour consistency with DG ink.
