The new model will have an optional take-up system for improved control and precision. Epson reports that installation will be quicker and easier with no special tools or knowledge needed, and users will have access to a wide range of EMX files, making it easier for them to access effective colour management. “Improved access to print heads and easier maintenance now makes this a user- controlled process without the need for an engineer,” adds Epson. “This reduces downtime and, combined with more robust parts, enhances productivity. The SureColor F6300 will appeal to garment decorators and textile printers who need the quality and consistent colour that all Epson printers are renown for.” In addition to printing on polyester textiles, the SureColor F6300 can be used on both rigid and 3D objects with a suitable coating.
