📋 Epson SC F160 Dye Sublimation Printer Design

OUTSTANDING QUALITY

The SureColor F160 incorporates an Epson PrecisionCore™ Thin Film print head with micro-fine nozzles that enable high-resolution imaging with pinpoint accuracy. Driven by Epson Precision Dot Technology, it facilities precise and predictable colour with superior density, and enhanced tonal expression. The printer has a range of print modes to suit different quality levels and production speeds. It suits a wide range of applications including art and photography, hard and soft signage, short-run merchandise and décor, custom fabric and clothing. The SC-F160 uses a simple 4 colour imaging system. The advanced UltraChrome™ Dye Sub ink works in conjunction with the print head to produce superior output with a lower production cost and enhanced mechanical reliability. When sublimated, it produces a colour gamut that is equal or better than competing solutions that utilise more inks. It produces images with outstanding light and wash fastness, that are resistant to damage through abrasion and perspiration. When applied to polyester fabrics, material conforms to the latest Oeko-Tex Eco Passport® standard for safe use by adults, children and babies.1, 2

FLEXIBLE WORKFLOW

Dye sublimation is designed to replace traditional screen printing. It is considerably simpler and less expensive for short-to-medium production runs with less labour, less materials, and less wastage. Digital imaging enables easier content creation and editing with more accurate and flexible output. Production is mess-free with faster job turnaround and repetion at the push of a button. The process suits fabric with a high polyester content and hard surface materials that will accept a polyester spray while withstanding a moderate level of heat and pressure. A wide range of products can be produced including fabric and photo merchandise, metal signs and phone covers, footwear ('thongs') and custom clothing, wall decorations and home décor. The Epson DS Fabric series has been designed for reliable and cost-effective operation. The SC-F160 features a Continuous Ink Supply System (CISS) that is refilled using inexpensive 140ml bottles. The engine features extremely low power consumption with sleep and standby modes to further reduce running costs. The printer ships complete with ink and a driver that enables operation with standard graphic software. Depending on the pack it may also come with media 3. The SureColor F160 can be used with a PC running Windows or Mac OS. It is extremely compact, light in weight and has a footprint of less than 0.15m2 and supports both wired and wireless networking. It suits operation with a small flat-sheet or merchandise style heat press and features a convenient multi-page input tray as well as an extendable output tray

Notes

1. Dye Sub ink is relatively delicate prior to sublimation and needs to be handled with care. Please see the specs page for further information. 2. ECO PASSPORT by OEKO-TEX® is a system by which textile chemical suppliers demonstrate that their product can be used in a sustainable textile production. Epson dye-sublimation ink is certified by the ECO PASSPORT. This is an international safety standard in the textile industry. It is certified to be safe for adults and children, including babies. For further information please see the OEKO-TEX website. 3. Production will require a PC with moderate specifications, appropriate graphic software, a suitable sublimation device (heat press), media and fabric/merchandise. Images should be printed in reverse to enable subsequent sublimation. This printer is designed to operate with specific Ink and media. Use of alternative consumables is likely to result in reduced image quality and may lead to mechanical failure that exceeds the cover provided under Epson warranty and/or CoverPlus. After-sales warranty and CoverPlus service are subject to a range of terms and conditions including operation within mechanical life ratings, appropriate care and maintenance, the use of correct and genuine consumables; please see the specifications page and warranty page of this web site for further information.

📘 Product Instructions

Usage

As expected, please refer to your user manual for more information or visit epson.com.au or the relevant product page.

Software and Installation

Please download the driver and installation software are https://www.epson.com.au/support/product/surecolor-f160 or visit the description page which provides a link.

Regular Use

Please use regularly, if left for long periods of time, the dye sublimation ink will evaporate leaving behind the dye to harden on the head surface, you will need to print a page every two weeks to keep the ink cycling through the printer.

Installation & Operation

A suitable heat press along with appropriate merchandise/fabric will be required to enable production. A proportion of the ink and the maintenance tank included with this printer will be used to ‘prime’ the machine during initial set-up. Reliable operation requires the printer be used on a regular basis and not left powered down for extended periods. The printer is not designed for mobile operation and may suffer leakage if shaken or tilted. Dye sub ink is extremely stable once sublimated however care must be taken prior; unopened bottles should be stored in a cool environment away from sunlight and installed by the best before date printed on the package. Customers should follow directions included in the user manual and with the ink, wear gloves, ensure any spilt ink is removed quickly and allow prints to dry fully before handling. For optimal results and maximum reliability ink should be consumed within one month of loading into tanks, opened bottles should be consumed within 6 months, and prints should be sublimated within a week of creation (1~2 days recommended).

Care and Maintenance

Please print a page that has Black, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow in it at least every two weeks, afterwards print a nozzle check and make sure there are no breaks, if you see breaks, please perform a head clean.

    If I could rate this product less than 1 I would! It is very complicated and does not print to the edge of an A4 sheet of paper. If you want to sublimate a 20 oz tumbler forget it. Save your self a butt load of money. Buy a eco printer and just fill it with siblimation ink. I wish I had its not worth the money. Won’t print the dimension that you choose. Absolutely buy something else. WASTE OF MONEY AND NO SUPPORT!!!!!! I have looked and looked and asked the questions no one can help me seriously not happy at all and I have never written a negative review like this in my life!.
