LOS ALAMITOS, Calif. – June 20, 2023 – Underscoring support for the growing textile and personalized products industry, Epson today announced the hybrid SureColor^® F2270 for both direct-to-garment (DTG) and direct-to-film (DTFilm) printing. Designed to bring customized apparel to the market that holds true to the designer’s vision, with minimal waste and environmental impact, the hybrid SureColor F2270 DTG printer incorporates DTFilm printing capabilities and goes beyond traditional garment printing and transfer to a wider variety of materials, including uniquely shaped items.

“The SureColor F2270 was purpose-built with an eye toward what’s happening in the industry. Specifically, we wanted to address the needs of print shops transitioning from mass production to producing what’s needed,” said Tim Check, senior product manager, Professional Imaging, Epson America, Inc. “With its ability to produce high quality output, with great reliability and consistency, print shops can now create premium quality products, designed to last years. This also results in less waste from the print process to the garment wearability.”

The SureColor F2270 is a hybrid printer that can print on both DTG and DTFilm. It features a new PrecisionCore.^® MicroTFP printheads with Nozzle Verification Technology and UltraChrome next-generation^® DG2 ink to deliver vibrant colors and incredible detail at impressive speeds – up to 20% faster when printing on dark garments.¹ The printer’s cartridge-free bulk ink pack system helps reduce ink replacement frequency. It features automatic garment thickness adjustments. Multiple sensors are used to measure thickness during the loading process. This creates a profile of garment height. The printer will then automatically adjust the printhead to optimize print quality and increase productivity without any user input.

The following features are designed to provide a higher level of efficiency and versatility to the promotional products, garment decorator and ecommerce fulfillment industries:

• Low maintenance – Dedicated cleaning solution channels and fabric head wiper system help reduce downtime
• Intuitive design – Flattop work surface can hold items; large 4.3-inch touchscreen interface with ergonomically placed control buttons
• Easy-to-use, quick-load platen – Assists with garment alignment and helps reduce loading times
• Workflow that is intuitive and easy to learn – Epson Garment Creator 2 software features improved processing time and high-resolution processing for exceptionally detailed and vibrant prints
• Epson Cloud Solution PORT² – Provides live production monitoring of your printer fleet status, including production rates and printer utilization

“Ultimately, prints done right the first time saves times, money and physical resources, and that’s the goal with the new SureColor F2270,” said Check.
