Epson SureColor SC-F3000 DTG Printer
The F3000 is Epson's first industrial direct-to-garment printer and has been designed specifically for high-production print shop environments.
Its also Epson's first direct-to-garment printer to utilise dual printhead technology and is capable of printing a full-size, full-colour t-shirt in 60 seconds.
It also features a new bulk ink system which delivers remarkably low ink cost and minimised waste compared to cartridge systems.
A key new feature of the F3000 is its automatic print height adjustment. This means that you can seamlessly switch between printing t-shirts and thicker sweatshirts or jumpers with minimal downtime and operator intervention between garments.
Capable of printing on a variety of fabrics such as cotton, linen and rayon, the SureColor F3000 is designed to meet the increasing market demand for high-production customised clothing and print-on-demand products.
Features:
- PrecisionCore printhead technology – dual 2.6" printheads with 14,000 nozzles delivering industrial quality output at impressive production speeds
- Bulk ink system – replaceable bulk ink packs for less frequent ink refilling and lower costs compared to ink cartridge systems
- High-quality direct-to-garment printing – Epson UltraChrome DG inks are durable, vibrant and safe, with outstanding colour performance
- Automatic print height adjustment – easily print on different garment thicknesses with minimal operator intervention
- Low total cost of ownership – reduced print costs combined with industrial-level durability and low maintenance
- Increased productivity – fast processing and an all-new quick-load platen, combined with rapid single-pass printing
- Intuitive, easy-to-learn workflow – updated Epson Garment Creator Software, available for macOS and Windows, includes cost estimator, text tools, and hot folder support
- Designed exclusively for high-volume direct-to-garment production - an entirely purpose-built system built for superior imaging with reliable operation

| System Requirements | |||
| A Personal Computer will be required for installation and operation of this printing system. The PC should have a minimum 2Ghz processor, 2GB or more memory (8GB recommended) and 32GB or more storage (SSD recommended for max performance), 1024x768 or higher res monitor, running 64bit Win 8.1 or Mac OS X/10.12 or higher. Web access will be required for installation, registration and software activation. Operation of Epson Total Solution will require that the printer be connected to a network with Internet access and the router configured for two way data exchange. A 3rd party Heat Press with adjustable temperature, pressure and timer will be required. Presses can be sourced from a number of suppliers in various sizes and formats. Please contact your dealer for options. Use of white ink and output on fabric with a high level of polyester, rayon or other man-made fibres requires material to be pre-treated prior to printing. Pre-treatment liquid can be applied manually (roller or spray) however for optimum results a pre-treatment machine is recommended. When using the USB direct print function files must be processed through Garment Creator first. |
