T he new robust SureColor SC-F11000 and SC-F11000H are designed for high productivity with rapid, reliable and repeatable quality for textile manufacturers

Following the success of the 76-inch SureColor F10000 and F10000H, industrial textile printers in 2020, Epson announces a new 76-inch textile printer. The SureColor SC-F11000 is a sophisticated, dye-sublimation printer developed for textile production where high productivity, speed, quality and reliability are central to the success of the business.

The SC-F11000H has been designed for maximum up-time, thanks to the new optional Jumbo Roll that enables continuous production and reduced downtime due to less frequent media changes, ideal for uninterrupted high-volume production. The printer is perfectly tailored to applications in fashion, sportswear, home furnishings and soft signage.

The SC-F11000H features CMYK ink configuration and includes the addition of one of three ink sets: orange and violet; fluorescent yellow and fluorescent pink; and light cyan and light magenta.

Neil Greenhalgh, product manager, Epson Europe, says: “In the dye-sublimation sector, customers demand fast turnaround times, consistent performance, high-quality output and reliability. With these requirements in mind, we’ve developed an industrial level dye-sublimation printer that, we believe, sets new standards. The SC-F11000 offers the highest throughput of all Epson LFPs and is equipped with four PrecisionCore Micro TFP printheads and a ‘hot swap’ bulk ink solution that’s designed to keep businesses running.

“Our heritage is built on innovation, and this is one of those moments in which we’re raising the benchmark for productivity in dye-sublimation.”

The features of the SC-F11000 and SC-F11000H include:

• Optional Jumbo Roll (300kg maximum roll weight)
• Orange and violet ink (new additional inksets)
• Up to 255m ²/hr high-speed printing
• PrecisionCore Micro TFP printheads
• Epson Precision Dot Technology (blending three dedicated technologies for dye-sub: Halftone, LUT and Micro Weave)
• Easy media setting (media loading lever front and back)
• Auto-adjustment technology including an integrated RGB camera
• Dryer (less ink transfer to media reverse and wrinkle elimination)
• Advanced Auto Tension Control (Ad-ATC) for accurate and stable media feeding
• Bulk Ink solution (with 10-litre or 3-litre ink boxes supported by ‘hot-swap’ function)
• User-replaceable parts, including printheads
• 9-inch LCD highly-intuitive touch panel

To further improve consistency, quality and reliability of supply, Epson manufactures all the components for the SC-F11000 and SC-F11000H, including printheads, ink and Epson EdgePrint Pro software.
