Epson Professional Imaging

Epson Professional Imaging is the professional printing division of Epson, a globally recognized manufacturer of imaging and printing technology. Within the garment decoration industry, Epson produces a range of SureColor printers designed for direct-to-garment (DTG) and direct-to-film (DTF) printing applications. Epson's professional imaging products are available through authorized dealer networks and directly from Epson across the United States, with support infrastructure that includes technical assistance, software tools, and genuine consumable supplies.

The Epson SureColor F1070 is a hybrid DTG and DTF printer that combines both printing capabilities in a compact desktop format. Priced at an MSRP of 7,495 dollars, the F1070 uses a PrecisionCore Micro TFP printhead with Nozzle Verification Technology to maintain consistent output quality. The printer uses UltraChrome DG2 ink, a next-generation direct-to-garment ink formulation, supplied through a cartridge-free 250-milliliter ink pack system. The F1070 includes six ink packs with extra white ink in the standard package.

The SureColor F1070 can print on fabrics and materials up to one inch thick, with automatic garment height adjustment for different substrate thicknesses. A 4.3-inch touchscreen display with animated instructions provides an intuitive operator interface. The printer includes an automated fabric head wiper maintenance system and nozzle verification to reduce downtime and maintain print quality. The compact and versatile design has earned recognition for its minimalist aesthetic, and the visible printing chamber allows operators to monitor the printing process in real time.

Epson's SureColor F3070 is a direct-to-garment printer positioned for higher production volumes. The F3070 targets commercial garment decorators who need increased throughput and reliability for sustained daily production. This model builds on Epson's established PrecisionCore technology platform and is designed for professional environments where consistent output quality and operational uptime are critical business requirements.

The SureColor G6070 is Epson's dedicated direct-to-film printer, representing the company's focused entry into the DTF market segment. The G6070 is designed specifically for producing DTF transfers on film, rather than printing directly onto garments. This specialization allows the printer to be optimized for the DTF workflow, including film handling, ink layering for transfer applications, and integration with powder adhesive and curing systems in a DTF production line.

Epson provides Garment Creator 2 software for its garment and DTF printing products. Garment Creator 2 is compatible with both Windows and macOS operating systems, making it accessible to users on either platform. The software handles design preparation, color management, and print queue management for garment and transfer printing workflows. Epson also offers Cloud Solution PORT, a cloud-based platform for live production monitoring, reporting, and job cost accounting. PORT enables business owners and production managers to track output, analyze costs, and monitor printer status remotely.

Genuine Epson consumables, including UltraChrome DG2 inks and maintenance supplies, are available directly from Epson and through authorized dealers. Using genuine Epson inks and supplies is recommended to maintain consistent color accuracy, print durability, and warranty compliance. The ink pack system used in printers like the F1070 eliminates traditional cartridges, reducing waste and simplifying the ink replacement process for operators.

Epson supports its professional imaging customers with a one-year limited warranty on garment and DTF printers, with extended service plans available in one-year, two-year, and four-year options. Dedicated support is provided by phone at 800-241-5373, available Monday through Friday from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM Pacific Time. This support infrastructure provides professional users with access to technical assistance when they encounter issues or need guidance on printer operation and maintenance.

The Epson authorized dealer network provides pre-sale consultation, equipment demonstrations, professional installation, and operator training for customers purchasing SureColor garment and DTF printers. Dealers serve as local points of contact who understand the garment decoration industry and can help customers select the right printer model based on their production volume, budget, and application requirements. The dealer relationship provides ongoing access to service, supplies, and technical expertise throughout the life of the equipment.

The SureColor G9070 is Epson's 64-inch wide-format production DTF printer, expanding on the G6070 with a larger format and higher throughput. The G9070 features twin-roll printing for simultaneous dual-roll output, a user-replaceable PrecisionCore Micro TFP printhead, and UltraChrome DF inks that are OEKO-TEX ECO PASSPORT certified and CPSIA-compliant. With print speeds up to 350 square feet per hour, the G9070 targets commercial DTF operations that require high-volume transfer production. The printer includes Nozzle Verification Technology, automated maintenance routines, and Epson Cloud Solution PORT for remote monitoring. The SureColor G9070 is expected to be available in Summer 2026 through Epson Professional Imaging authorized resellers.

Epson's presence in the garment and DTF printing market is built on the company's broader reputation for precision printing technology, ink chemistry innovation, and printhead engineering. The PrecisionCore technology platform, which underpins Epson's garment printers, is a proprietary printhead architecture that delivers high resolution and consistent droplet placement. This technology foundation, combined with the UltraChrome ink system and professional support infrastructure, positions Epson as a major manufacturer in the garment decoration equipment space.
