Epson Announces Next-Generation SureColor F-Series Dye-Sublimation Printers with New High Density Black Ink

Epson America (2015 SGIA Expo Booth #4345) introduces its next-generation SureColor^® F-Series dye-sublimation transfer printers. The 44-inch Epson^® SureColor F6200 and 64-inch Epson SureColor F7200 and F9200 leverage Epson UltraChrome^® DS ink with an all-new high density Black ink to deliver improved ink efficiency and black density with better tonal transitions and grayscale for quality results in the roll-to-roll fabric production, customized promotional production, soft signage, and cut-and-sew sports apparel, fashion and home décor markets. The SureColor F9200 printer utilizes dual Epson PrecisionCore^® TFP® printheads for high-speed, industrial-level roll-to-roll productivity with quality dot control and precise, repeatable performance. Each printer offers continuous productivity and less downtime with an integral and easily refillable, high-capacity bulk ink system and an improved post-platen heater for seamless media handling and faster drying times for continuous production. “Since Epson launched its first true dye-sublimation printers in 2013, we have been diligently working to enhance the technology to meet the demands of industrial manufacturers,” said Tim Check, product manager, Professional Imaging, Epson America, Inc. “Now with the flagship SureColor F9200 providing double the speed and a high-capacity three liter per color ink supply system, users can print much more efficiently, and with far fewer interruptions.” Equipped with a highly accurate take up reel, the Epson SureColor F-Series allow for maximum uninterrupted production runs with minimal maintenance downtime. The printers also come with a Wasatch SoftRIP workflow that enables users to start printing sellable output immediately out of the box with specialty features for textile printing. The SureColor F-Series is compatible with Epson’s line of dye-sublimation transfer papers and designed to work exclusively with Epson UltraChrome DS Ink to ensure optimized output quality at industrial-level production.
