Description

Epson SureColor F9470

The Epson SureColor F9470 printer range delivers high-fidelity, bleed-resistant printing technology. Designed for high-precision commercial applications, the printer Epson SureColor F9470 delivers impeccable results in factory settings.

With a print speed of 1,169 square feet per hour, it’s the perfect tool for high-volume applications. Each PrecisionCore TFP print head ensures that the Epson SureColor lays the ink with precision even at high speeds.

Each Epson SureColor head can work independently of the other, ensuring no downtime should one head fail.

The innovative pigment ink produces highly saturated, vibrant color mixes. The long-lasting formula makes certain the ink stores well and that the color is fade-resistant after application. The high-density black ink ensures this printer Epson Surecolor delivers well-defined patterns without fuzziness or bleeding.

With a capacity of 3 liters per tank and two banks of cartridges, the printer can deliver many hours of uninterrupted runtime.

The innovative air guard technology allows the precise placement of ink droplets. In a standard printer, the movement of the heads creates a slight disturbance in the airflow. Though subtle, this disturbance is enough to throw the droplet placement off.

The Epson SureColor printing system incorporates safeguards to ensure smooth, consistent print quality.

To create the perfect printer, Epson SureColor utilizes three technologies to deliver precision results:

• Half-Tone Module: This relatively new technique allows for the smooth application of ink to eliminate visible graining
• LUT: Another new technique, LUT, smooths color gradation, providing maximum color range and consistency, and ensures high durability
• Microweave: This established technique improves uniform results

When coupled with the Multi-Pass Overlap technology, the Epson SureColor printer delivers rich, highly-detailed prints of unsurpassed quality. It’s simple to roll out professional-level apparel, textiles, decor, banners, and far more with exceptional color fidelity and contrast.

Control the system with the free Epson Edge Workflow software. Powered by an Adobe PostScript 3 Engine, this program allows you to get maximum use from your new Epson SureColor printer.

The highlights are:

• Custom spot colors and creation abilities
• Clients have used Wi-Fi direct, Google Cloud Print, and ethernet cable to import new media
• Onboard project library storage capacity
• Flawless pattern repeats

The software enables you to maximize productivity for the printer Epson SureColor and creates an efficient workflow for each run.

The Epson SureColor auto paper-tension control guarantees that media loads correctly each time. Most comparable systems in the United States today use either a roll drive motor or feed motor. The Epson SureColor printer utilizes both to make sure that the media loads perfectly each time.

With a capacity to load rolls of up to 100 pounds in weight and auto paper-tensioning, it’s never been simpler to produce seamless print runs. Epson America Inc. also included a fabric head wiper to automatically clean the heads without intervention.

The wiper and dust guard make sure that the heads stay cleaner for longer and require less maintenance. There’s less need to shut the printer Epson SureColor system for routine cleaning than with its competitors in the United States.

Ink

Clients should not use third-party inks with their new printer as Epson SureColor warranties are voided if they do.

This condition increases the cost of topping up the tanks slightly, but the print quality makes it worthwhile. The Epson UltraChrome range also carries an Eco Passport certification by Oeko-Tex, meaning that their formulas contain nothing that harms human health.

With consumers placing more focus on the chemicals they expose themselves to, this rating gives Epson an advantage over some generic brands. There’s never a bad time to contact Epson or their authorized reseller if you need a rundown of what specific chemicals the SureColor range uses.

The Epson cartridge yields vary considerably, depending on the type of prints you make, but the replacement ink is affordable. The printer can use a variable amount of ink with each pass, so you may tweak the output to make it more economical.

Comparisons

Epson SureColor F9470H Printer

As a printer, the Epson SureColor F9470H offers similar features to its slightly less expensive cousin. The F9470H, however, houses ten ink cartridges instead of eight. The print head is also able to work in fluorescent inks.

This Epson SureColor allows users to add fluorescent pink and yellow into the mix. The resultant prints are more vibrant. Those who are in the leisure-wear or swimsuit industry may find the F9470H more suited to their needs.

Epson SureColor F6370 Printer

The baby brother of the F9000 series, the Epson SureColor F6370 printer comes in at around half the price. On the level of performance subject, this printer comes distinctly second. The print quality is excellent, but the speed and maximum resolution are lower.

At 44 inches in width, the printing surface is significantly smaller. This printer may not be ideal for creating bolts of fabric, but it will process fine art papers and prints exceptionally well. The built-in cutter also comes in handy.

It’s a solid printer offering from Epson America you may appreciate if you’re on a limited budget.
