Owner Steven Salazar shared that the SureColor F1070 easy-to-use features and low maintenance requirements have been a significant upgrade for the business.

“We’re thrilled with the performance of the SureColor F1070; it seamlessly reintroduced DTG into our shop and added DTFilm capabilities, eliminating the need for outsourcing prints and boosting revenue,” said Salazar. “The Epson UltraChrome^® DG2 inks deliver vibrant results on both DTG and DTFilm output, and its virtually maintenance-free operation has been such a relief. It has become an integral part of our daily operations, and we’re excited to continue growing the business with its hybrid capabilities.”

Leveraging a cartridge-free ink pack system that helps reduce ink replacement, the SureColor F1070 supports uninterrupted printing to help ensure consistent productivity and performance.

With DTFilm printing capability, users can go beyond traditional garment printing and transfer personalized designs to a wider variety of materials, including uniquely shaped items, to further customize product offerings. Additional easy-to-use features include automatic garment height adjustment, with the ability to print on a variety of fabric up to 1-inch thick; innovative touchscreen menu for effortless use; and an automated maintenance system, including a fabric wiper cassette and capping station to maintain printhead integrity. With robust Epson Garment Creator 2 software, designers and print service providers can translate their creative concepts into tangible, high-quality garments and products, elevating their artistic visions to reality.
