Epson Announces the SureColor G9070: A 64-Inch Production DTF Printer

Epson has announced the SureColor G9070, a 64-inch wide-format direct-to-film printer designed for high-volume production environments. The G9070 builds on the foundation of the SureColor G6070 and scales it up significantly — wider format, faster output, and features aimed squarely at commercial DTF operations.

Why This Matters

Most DTF printers on the market already run on Epson technology. The i3200 and PrecisionCore print heads power machines from DTF Station, STS Inks, and dozens of other manufacturers. Epson has been the engine behind the DTF industry without being a direct competitor in it — until the G6070 changed that.

Now, with the G9070, Epson is not just participating in the DTF market. They are offering a full production-class machine that matches the print heads everybody already uses with the engineering, ink chemistry, and support infrastructure that only Epson can provide. The company that makes the print heads everyone relies on now has a complete printer to go with them.

Key Specifications

The G9070 is built for volume. Here are the headline numbers:

• Print width: 64 inches
• Print speed: Up to 350 ft²/hr
• Printhead: User-replaceable Epson PrecisionCore Micro TFP
• Twin-roll printing: Run two rolls simultaneously for increased throughput
• Ink system: UltraChrome DF inks (OEKO-TEX ECO PASSPORT certified, CPSIA-compliant)
• Maintenance: Nozzle Verification Technology and automated maintenance routines
• Monitoring: Epson Cloud Solution PORT for remote production tracking

PrecisionCore Micro TFP Printhead

The G9070 uses Epson's PrecisionCore Micro TFP printhead, the same technology platform that underpins their professional imaging lineup. What sets this apart for production shops is that the printhead is user-replaceable. In a high-volume environment, being able to swap a printhead without a service call means less downtime and more control over your maintenance schedule.

UltraChrome DF Inks

Epson developed UltraChrome DF specifically for direct-to-film applications. The inks carry OEKO-TEX ECO PASSPORT certification and are CPSIA-compliant, which matters for shops producing transfers for children's apparel or selling into markets with strict regulatory requirements. A bulk ink system keeps the printer fed during long production runs without frequent ink changes.

Twin-Roll Printing

The twin-roll capability lets operators load two rolls of film and print simultaneously. For shops running gang sheets or producing high volumes of transfers, this effectively doubles your output capacity from a single machine footprint.

Epson Cloud Solution PORT

PORT is Epson's cloud-based monitoring platform. It provides remote visibility into printer status, production output, and job costing. For shop owners managing multiple machines or overseeing production remotely, PORT adds a layer of operational insight that is increasingly expected in production-class equipment.

How It Fits Alongside the G6070

The G6070 established Epson as a direct participant in the DTF printer market. The G9070 expands that presence into wide-format production territory. Think of the G6070 as the workhorse for shops running moderate volume, and the G9070 as the machine for operations that need wider format capability and higher throughput. They serve different scales of production, and having both in the lineup gives Epson coverage across a broader range of DTF businesses.

Availability and Pricing

Epson has stated the SureColor G9070 will be available in Summer 2026 through Epson Professional Imaging authorized resellers. No pricing has been disclosed at this time.

The Bigger Picture

The DTF industry has grown largely on the back of Epson print head technology. Printers from dozens of manufacturers use Epson i3200 and PrecisionCore heads. With the G9070, Epson is making a clear statement: they are not just a component supplier to the DTF market — they are a full participant in it, with a production machine that leverages the same print head technology that the rest of the industry depends on, backed by Epson's own ink chemistry, engineering, and professional support network.

For shops evaluating their next production DTF printer, the G9070 puts Epson in a conversation they were previously only supplying parts for.
