Epson Announce The SureColor F3060 Launch

Gus Altmann • Jan 30, 2020

Planning on attending Epson’s Productivity & Efficiency Showcase being held in Melbourne on the 20th and 21st of February? If you are, you’ll be among the first to see their brand new, industrial DTG printer - known as the SureColor F3060 - when it’s unveiled.

The machine has been designed specifically for mid-to-large size garment printers who are looking for high-production, cost-effective equipment.

Designed to provide a low total cost of ownership (TCO) as well as reliability for exceptional performance and savings in high-production environments, the SC-F3060 offers the ability to produce a full-size t-shirt in around a minute. Users will be able to print literally hundreds of shirts every day.

This is Epson’s first direct to garment printer to utilise dual printhead technology and a bulk ink pack system, providing users with an unusually low ink cost plus minimised waste (when compared with Epson cartridge systems). The machine is capable of housing 1.5 litres of each colour (CMYK) and 3 litres of white, so you won’t need to refill the machine as often as well as experiencing lower operating costs.

An ideal choice for printing on a variety of fabrics - including cotton, linen and rayon - the F3060 has been designed to meet the increasing market demand for unique clothing driven by the millennial population.

Some of the other features you can expect to see include:

  • PrecisionCore printhead technology (dual 10-channel printheads with 16,000 nozzles delivering industrial quality output at impressive speeds);
  • Bulk ink system (replaceable bulk ink packs for less frequent refilling and lower costs compared to cartridge systems);
  • High quality DTG printing (Epson UltraChrome DG inks are durable, vibrant and safe with outstanding colour performance);
  • Automatic printhead adjustment (optimised for garment thickness for improved print quality without user intervention);
  • Low TCO (low maintenance time and cost thanks to dedicated cleaning solution channels and fabric head wiper system);
  • Fast loading for more productivity (the all new, easy to use quick-load platen reduces traditional hoop platen load times);
  • Intuitive, easy to learn workflow (the updated Epson Garment Creator Software includes a cost estimator, text tools, hot folders and automation SDK); and
  • Scale seamlessly (scale production capability with additional printers thanks to its easily re-positionable compact design).

Details on pricing and availability of the Epson SureColour F3060 are set to be announced after the Showcase, however we don’t expect to see this machine available on our shores until mid year.

If you think this printer could be the perfect addition to your business for 2020 and would like to see it in action, register to attend the Productivity & Efficiency Showcase on either the 20th or the 21st of February in Brunswick East here or get in touch with the Machines Plus team on 1300 167 587.

Dye sub your dancewear with Pink Lemon

13 Oct, 2021
With this new environment and the purchase of their Epson SureColor F6360 dye-sublimation printer, Pink Lemon now has the ability to be better and faster with their production, producing high-quality designs on a variety of fabrics. Dion and wife Kristy have a beautiful passion for business ownership - Pink Lemon is not their first foray into the realm, they also operate activewear brand Scout Active and new mum and bub accessories brand Zoe Sage. Remarkably, the pair’s ten-year-old daughter is already involved with the family business - she works with their socials and models their beautiful designs. We can really see her running the show one day! Kristy is a real super mum, running these businesses and packing orders from the warehouse, along with being a full-time parent (and homeschooling) their 2 beautiful children and putting food on the table every night. When asked why they started all these brands and where they hope to be in the future, Dion replied with; “It’s a life goal of running a strong business to better our children’s future and pass on the legacy.” We couldn’t support these guys more and are so inspired by their hard work and dedication, especially through the Covid-19 pandemic. The effort and work both Dion and Kristy put in is the reason we know Pink Lemon will continue to grow and be one of the best dancewear companies in Australia, or even worldwide.
