EPSON launches direct-to-garment solution for 100 percent polyester printing

EPSON has recently announced new direct-to-garment (DTG) pre-treatment solution for polyester garments available for its DTG Solutions – the SureColor F2000 and F2100. The easy-to-use solution keeps with the traditional DTG workflow, while greatly expanding revenue opportunities to include industries that primarily feature 100 percent polyester garments, such as team sports apparel, active wear, imitation silk and leather, and accessories. As on today the direct-to-garment industry has been limited to printing on 100 percent cotton or cotton-polyester blends. But this new polyester pre-treatment solution will open opportunities for direct-to-garment printing and customization for new industries, as well as open doors to on-site garment customization at sporting events.

EPSON polyester pre-treatment has been optimized for use with EPSON UltraChrome DG inks to produce vivid prints with excellent wash-fastness on both light and dark colored polyester garments. The pre-treatment solution is OEKO-TEX ECO PASSPORT certified for product safety to the end consumer, and is free of GHS health risks, making it safe for operators as well. Successor to the renowned SureColor F2000, the F2100 is designed exclusively for direct-to-garment printing and offers an entirely purpose-built system for high-quality prints at production speeds.
