Focus on Dye Sublimation Epson
Two new SureColor dye sublimation textile printers
SureColor SC-F6400 4-colour
Epson has strengthened its leading position in the dye sublimation printer market with the launch of two new 44in, dye-sublimation products. Designed for low to medium-volume printing, the SureColor SC-F6400 four-colour, and SureColor SC-F6400H 6-colour are ideal for applications such as textile production, personalised products, and high-end photo reproduction. The printers offer a range of signifi cant improvements, including increased productivity and reduced wastage.
Based on Epson’s revolutionary Micro TFP PrecisionCore technology, which is designed to deliver exceptional image quality, both printers offer different advantages, depending on the needs of the user. The SC-F6400, increases productivity by 20% compared to its predecessor the SC-F6300. The SC-F6400H provides an extended colour gamut by offering the use of CMYK, plus a choice of either fl uorescent pink and fl uorescent yellow, light cyan and light magenta or orange and violet. This means that, as Epson’s fi rst six-colour 44in dye sublimation printer, the SC-F6400H opens the door to an expanded range of potential applications for both textile and rigid substrates. Users in the production of fashion, homewear, sportswear, soft signage and promotional items will fi nd this enhancement of particular interest.
The SC-F6400 and SC-F6400H offer several other advantages to business users including new, higher-capacity ink packs that contain 45% more ink (1.6L), reducing replacement frequency and waste. The ink packs only need to be shaken and inserted, no more pouring and stirring, which can create mess. The printers also feature a new 4.3in touch screen which is 30% larger than the previous model. Simplifi ed maintenance routines minimise downtime and software bundles are included to help businesses run more effi ciently and better analyse costing and profi tability. Both products offer users a complete solution including hardware, software, printhead, ink, sublimation papers, warranty, plus the SC-F6400H includes a bundled take-up reel.
