EPSON is all set to showcase its new Monna Lisa 13000 at drupa (Booth D20 in Hall 5). The new machine is an affordable single-step digital direct-to-fabric textile printer with compact footprint that delivers in-line printing using more sustainable pigment inks. Monna Lisa ML-13000 is an innovative textile printing solution that requires no additional equipment for pre and post treatment, steaming and washing. The new direct-to-fabric printer comes equipped with three types of pre and post processing chemicals (pre-treatment, over-coating, and density enhancer) in addition to seven colour inks.
All these features of EPSON Mona Lisa ML-13000 makes this printer possible to integrate pre and post processing in a single step printing solution and contrasts with other conventional textile printers that require separate processes. Pre and post chemicals are used only on the print area (dot-on-dot), enabling prints that bring out the texture of the fabric. The ML-13000 also enjoys a much smaller footprint compared with conventional textile printing equipment, allowing it to be installed in more confined and convenient working environments.
