Epson has introduced its first expansion of the SureColor G-Series wide-format dedicated direct-to-film (DTFilm) printer line with the SureColor G9060. The 64-inch SureColor G9060 – big brother to the popular SureColor G6060 - has been engineered for reliable, non-stop performance, consistent colour and minimal maintenance so that garment producers and print shop owners can focus on creating high-quality apparel and merchandise.
Darren Kerber, Epson Australia Product Manager for Professional Print Solutions, says: “Epson continues to expand its professional fabric printing line-up to meet the evolving needs of the market. Building on the success of our existing solutions, the new SureColor G9060 introduces a 64-inch format that delivers greater flexibility and productivity for businesses looking to scale. This addition reinforces our commitment to providing high-quality, reliable solutions that help customers maximise efficiency and profitability.”
Scheduled to be available in Australia from mid-2026 and New Zealand shortly after that, Epson claims that the SureColor G9060 ‘gets jobs out the door fast, with high-speed throughput, without sacrificing colour accuracy and detail’.
The printer has a user-replaceable 2.64” PrecisionCore Micro TFP printhead – which supports print speeds up to approximately 32 m²/hr in colour + white – and deploys Epson’s Nozzle Verification Technology (inkless nozzle status monitoring), auto-head cleaning, auto cap-cleaning and continuous white-ink recirculation to ensure consistent high-quality output with maximum productivity and minimum waste.
It also uses a large capacity (1.6L) UltraChrome DF seated-ink-pack system, where packs are cost-effective to order, easy to agitate, quick and mess-free to load. The bulk ink management design also supports film rolls up to 1626mm and width and roll-based production can be delivered ‘in-line’ with a range of third-party powder shaker/oven machines; or the printer can easily be used with an auto-cutter for sheet-based production.
Finally, the Epson Precision Dot image processing ensures the SC-G9060 can produce accurate and consistent prints with bright colour and an enhanced gamut; and the printer features integrated support via Epson’s web-based Cloud Solution PORT service2, providing advanced reporting and costing tools while facilitating automated maintenance routines to reduce downtime,
Darren Kerber concludes:“The SureColor G9060 is a great addition to Epson’s fabric range and should be well received by manufacturers with volume DTFilm production needs. For users with lower requirements and/or those who wish to produce a mix of DTG and DTFilm we will continue to recommend our SC-F1060, SC-F2260, SC-F3000 and SC-G6060 models.”
