Machinery News Epson releases its Monna Lisa printer E
pson has unveiled its new Monna Lisa printers, demonstrating the latest Epson innovations for a constantly evolving digital textile market. “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. “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”.
The 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. 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 – Flexibility and widest colour range in the series
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. The first to be equipped with 24 Epson PrecisionCore printheads and 12 colours, Monna Lisa ML-24000 can print on all types of fabrics from natural, artificial, and synthetic fabrics through to the most innovative vegetable fibres.

ulse will share the benefits of both its Monolox Fixed Anilox Printing and its PureTone DC dual cure inks at Labelexpo.
Visitors to the Pulse booth (3C64) will be able to see first-hand the benefits of using a single anilox volume for their print jobs – made possible thanks to Pulse’s revolutionary PureTone ink range. Since its launch last October, Monolox Fixed Anilox Printing has been helping converters around the world to maximise their uptime and reduce ink consumption by standardising the flexographic process.
Pulse’s managing director, Gary Seward, said: “With PureTone inks and Monolox Fixed Anilox Printing, we’re fulfilling our commitment to help printers boost their accuracy, efficiency and throughput by effectively making flexo label printing more efficient than digital, and at a fraction of the cost. “Using PureTone inks and a bespoke mixing database, printers can use this cutting-edge technique to make

Monna Lisa ML-8000 REACID configuration – The most flexible solution to cover all fibres 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 adds a wide selection of other materials and fibres to the list of fabrics already supported by Monna Lisa printers, including non-traditional fibres, and thus reinforces Monna Lisa’s ability to adapt to a wide range of printing requirements, providing greater flexibility of use.
The Monna Lisa ML-32000 combines Epson’s high-tech digital technology with unprecedented versatility. Its new width of 340 cm allows two pieces of fabric to be printed at the same time, thus increasing productivity and reducing energy and resource 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.

“This has unprecedented benefits for print efficiency, providing high-speed make ready and reducing waste through ink consumption,” said Seward. “In fact, thanks to its high strength compared with other ink brands, using PureTone can cut ink consumption by as much as 30%, while still delivering a Delta E of less than two with ease.
Gary said the Pulse booth would also showcase the company’s newest high- performance ink, PureTone DC, which can be cured with UV LED lamps, meaning the curing process uses just a fraction of the power of traditional UV lamps.
