Epson SC F1060 Direct to Garment DTG DTF Printer

📖 What to know about the F1060 DTF Printer

The SureColor F1060 is designed for in-store clothing and merchandise customisation. It also provides a cost-effective production tool for designers, event operators, print-for-pay providers and small businesses. The printer combines a compact footprint with flexible operation and outstanding image quality. It supports traditional direct-to-garment (DTG) and the latest direct-to-film (DTFilm) production techniques. The unit ships complete with software and an integrated PORT service for enhanced management and support. It is simple to operate, and features fully automated height adjustment and a high degree of self-maintenance. Pouch-based ink and a maintenance tank make for high-convenience with minimum fuss and mess.

The SC-F1060 is not only compact but has been styled to suit ‘front-office’ operations with a quality finish and fully enclosed production area. It uses Epson’s latest UltraChrome^® DG2 ink, and incorporates our famous Precision Core^® MicroTFP^® printhead and operates with Precision Dot imaging technology. Super-fine lines, exceptional gradations and solid fills can be produced on a wide range of fabric and film. Ink ships in convenient ink pouches that are compact to store, quick to load and easy to replace.

The SC-F1060 is designed for low-volume business, event and design applications. It combines small size with high-flexibility and maximum image quality. It uses Epson’s latest UltraChrome DG2 ink, Precision Core thin film printhead and Precision Dot image processing. Auto print height setting, auto head cleaning and active nozzle management ensure consistent high-quality output. It can be operated on a moderate-sized desk with minimal installation space and operational clearance.

Epson UltraChrome DG2 ink supports both DTG and DTFilm production techniques. When used with appropriate pre-treat solution, film and powder, custom images can be applied to a wide range of materials. Images feature enhanced UV/wash durability with superior resolution and colour. Epson consumables feature reduced toxicity over competitors, making them safer to work with. When applied to fabric and appropriately fixed, they adhere to the latest Oeko-Tex^® Eco Passport and GOTS-ECOCERT standards, ensuring that the garments are safe for use by adults, children and babies.^{3, 4}

Direct-to-garment printing replaces the complex, messy and time-consuming process of traditional screen printing with a faster, more flexible, and repeatable digital solution. Artwork can be created using a range of readily available drawing and photo editing programs before printing directly onto fabric, or film for subsequent transfer onto other material via a heat press. The process provides increased scope for creativity, value-adding and customisation while enabling significant cost savings and just-in-time/ just-the-right-volume production.

The SureColor F1060 combines an ergonomic design with quality presentation and simple operation. It features compact, fully enclosed work area with a see-through top and lit interior. Garment placement is facilitated by a pull-out guide for the neck, along with integrated sleeve alignment guides. These guides are synchronised with the supplied software, providing an on-screen preview for precise alignment. Print height adjustment is fully automated while 5-colour CYMK + White ink operation enables output on film, light and dark fabric.³

As with all models in the current Epson DTG range, the SC-F1060 supports premium frame-based output as well as rapid frame-less output with user-replaceable grip pads. The control panel features integrated help and there are online videos that provide further assistance. The printer comes with the latest Epson Garment Creator software and connects with Epson Cloud Solution PORT for advanced management, reporting, production costing and support.^{5, 6}

The SureColor F1060 features a high degree of self-maintenance. The printhead is self-cleaning and operates with a self-washing capping system for enhanced reliability and reduced user-maintenance. Optional platens are available for sleeve work and to enable production of baby clothing.

The SC-F1060 was designed for easy management. It uses 250 ml pouches that load via a simple tray system and a convenient maintenance tank. The printhead provides durable operation without the cost and labour associated with regular replacement. The head is covered under warranty and CoverPlus, extendable up to 5 years. The integrated (free) Epson Cloud Solution PORT service not only provides operators with advanced costing and reporting tools, but also enhanced service and support with Epson technicians able to undertake remote diagnosis for expedited resolution.⁵
