Epson offers first genuine fluorescent ink, dye sub, textile printing solution
E
pson has announced two 64in, dye sublimation printers, the SureColor SC-F9400H and the SC-F9400.
The printers have been developed primarily for fast, high-volume printing, for clothing, textiles and soft signage, as well as other printed merchandise. The SC-F9400H also offers businesses the option of printing with two genuine florescent ink solutions (yellow and pink), which brings bright, vivid colours to the production of sportswear, workwear and fashion items. The SC-F9400 series is an evolution of trusted Epson print technology and provides enhanced quality with even greater productivity and reliability. Neil Greenhalgh, product manager, Epson Europe, said: “Once again, our focus has been on the further development of the range, and the introduction of a genuine fluorescent solution that adds new value. This is a first for us and we believe that weʼve made fluorescent inks that are superior in terms of brightness and colour density. “But itʼs not all about the fluorescent ink options, weʼve also introduced a wider choice of EMX files, an instructional / maintenance video (launched from a QR code), and a host of other features that make set-up, usage and maintenance as simple as possible. Weʼre sure that the SC-F9400 range will have a positive effect on the bottom line of many businesses.”
In addition to the enhanced usability of this F-Series range, Epson has retained many of the key functions from previous models. Itʼs these tried and tested technologies that allow Epson to drive innovation in the industry and increase opportunities for businesses. The SureColor SC-F9400 and SC-F9400H will be available in January 2020.
Vastexʼs DTG-capable dryer now in 76cm width
T
he LittleRed X1D Dryer, designed to match the output of DTG printing systems, is now available with a 76cm wide conveyor belt, offering greater flexibility to the small shop operator. Equipped with a 61cm wide heater, this dryer can cure up to 29 garments per hour DTG printed with digital white ink at two minutes dwell time, as well as screen printed
garments at rates to 65 per hour for water-based ink or discharge, and 150 per hour for plastisols. By curing DTG printed garments in an infrared conveyor dryer, the garments avoid the flattened, ironed-on appearance and halo associated with heat-pressing of printed images.
The LittleRed X1D Dryer is available in 76cm width
The dryer can also be employed to dry the pretreatment, relegating the heat press to flattening of raised fibres prior to printing with a one second 'touch' per garment. As standard, it is equipped with features found on the company's larger DTG-capable dryers including adjustable belt-to-heater clearance to accommodate bulky items, a dual digital PID temperature controller accurate to ±1°C, and an X-Series conveyor belt roller tracking system with Teflon-coated fibreglass belt. A powered exhaust removes moisture and air contaminants at a rate of 5 CMM, while cooling the housing and controls. Fully expandable, the X1D-30 can accommodate additional heating chambers and belt extensions as business needs grow.
