Epson shows the power of dye-sub and direct-to-fabric printing at FESPA 2015

At FESPA, Epson celebrates the considerable flexibility of its complete line-up of SureColor SC-F dye sublimation and direct-to-fabric printers and unveils its latest textile printing developments.

Dye-sublimation is very versatile because no other technology offers so many paths to new business opportunities, new revenues and higher margins. Epson designs, manufactures and harmonises every component of its printers - ink, printheads and chassis - to ensure maximum quality, reliability and uptime combined with low Total Cost of Ownership.                 

At FESPA, Epson’s focus is on showing companies how they can diversify their business and maximise profit by enabling them to produce superb quality and customised products.  Visitors can see how, by using Epson inkjet printers, they can produce the broadest range of dye-sub and textile products including: soft signage, T-shirts, apparel, 3D giftware, promotional products, curtains, cushions, lampshades and furniture.
