Epson unveils SureColor G6030, revolutionising textile printing

Fuss-free Maintenance and Reliable Operational Stability

The SC-G6030 is designed to streamline operations by eliminating the need for daily maintenance tasks, making it a highly efficient solution for businesses. Unlike traditional printers, it only requires a simple shake of the white ink pack at the beginning of each day. The DTFilm printer automates key processes like nozzle checks, bidirectional adjustments, paper feed adjustments, and job sending. This enables parallel task execution, allowing a single operator to manage multiple units, which reduces manual follow-up work and significantly lowers operational costs.

In terms of maintenance, the SC-G6030 features an easy-to-maintain fabric wiper system that only requires occasional replacement of consumables, unlike traditional printers with rubber wipers that demand daily cleaning. The wiper unit uses a fabric feed system, ensuring a fresh wipe every time and reducing the frequency of maintenance.

The DTFilm printer also features a distinct cap station and suction cap system that further minimises the need for manual upkeep. The auto suction cap cleaning function eliminates the need for regular printhead cleaning by using maintenance liquid to remove dried ink from the cap edges. This ensures a proper seal for suction, enhancing productivity.

Additionally, the SC-G6030 is equipped with a white ink circulation system that prevents sedimentation, reducing clogging and maintaining consistent print quality. Epson’s UltraChrome DF ink is designed to recover easily from sedimentation, incorporating spacer material that enhances performance and ensures smooth, uninterrupted printing.

Versatile Printing Performance with Sustainability at its Core

The SC-G6030 offers various print modes to meet customer needs and expand application possibilities. With the capability to deliver full-colour graphic in under 9 minutes, the printer delivers exceptional speed and performance. Enhancing its credibility, the SC-G6030 is certified by the Oeko-Tex Eco Passport, guaranteeing that its inks are free from harmful substances and meet strict safety and environmental standards. Additionally, it is also certified by Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), ensuring that its printing process follows environmentally conscious practices, from raw materials to product labelling.

Enhanced Efficiency and User-Centric Design

The SC-G6030 offers several user-friendly features that enhance operational efficiency. The inbuilt cutter function helps prevent the film from falling off the printer by using a countdown, minimising waste and improving manual post-processing productivity. This function also reduces the risk of printout damage. Additionally, the printer’s high-capacity 1.6L ink supply unit allows customers to reduce ink replacement frequency, enabling continuous high-volume printing and further improving operational efficiency.

Designed for customers with limited space, the SC-G6030 boasts a compact footprint, making it ideal for small or challenging spaces. Occupying just 1.2 m² (1608mm in width and 745mm in depth), it easily fits into most printing environments and is convenient to transport. Requiring only 3.88 m² of workspace (2118mm by 1834mm), this ensures its versatility in various industrial settings.

"With the SureColor G6030, Epson is once again setting the standard for innovation in the printing industry," said Derek Tan, head of sales and marketing, Epson Singapore. "This 32-inch Direct-to-Film printer is designed to address the growing demand for efficient, high-quality printing solutions. With its impressive 1.6L ink capacity and minimal maintenance requirements, the SC-G6030 offers businesses a reliable tool for boosting productivity and reducing operational costs. Its intuitive design, including automated maintenance features and versatile print modes, makes it an ideal solution for businesses looking to streamline operations and keep up with the industry’s shift from Direct-to-Garment to Direct-To-Film printing.”
