Dye sublimation is a printing technique that allows for the vibrant and long-lasting transfer of images onto various materials. Unlike traditional printing methods that lay ink on top of a surface, dye sublimation infuses the ink directly into the substrate, creating a seamless and durable image that does not fade, crack, or peel. This method is a game-changer for businesses and creatives looking for high-quality finishes on promotional items, clothing, and more.
At the heart of dye sublimation is a scientific process that might seem like magic but is grounded in chemistry. It starts with solid dye particles, which are transformed into gas using heat and pressure, bypassing the liquid phase entirely, a process known as sublimation. Imagine a block of dry ice sublimating into the fog without becoming liquid; that is very similar to how dye sublimation works.
When heat is applied to the dye, the particles are converted into a high-energy gas that bonds to any polymers present. As the heat source is removed, the dye turns back into a solid, now embedded within the fibers of the polymer, ensuring that the image will not wash away or degrade over time. This fascinating transition from solid to gas and back to solid is the cornerstone of dye sublimation and is what makes it so effective for creating long-lasting prints.
Epson and their US distributor Image Pro just introduced the Epson SureColor F9570 and SureColor F9570H, two new 64 inches wide dye-sublimation printers. These new models are designed to meet the growing demands of various markets, including sports apparel, fashion, home décor, promotional products, personalized items, and soft signage. As the dye-sublimation market continues to expand, businesses require printing solutions that not only offer quality but also maximize productivity. The SureColor F9570 and F9570H are built with these needs in mind, offering a compact design for easy installation, an expanded ink set for vibrant prints, and advanced technology for consistent, high-speed output.
A Step Forward in Printing Technology
The SureColor F9570 and F9570H replace the previous F9470 models, bringing with them a host of new features that enhance both performance and ease of use. Designed to operate efficiently in high-volume environments, these printers are equipped with Epson’s PrecisionCore® Micro TFP printhead, which includes Nozzle Verification Technology. This ensures the delivery of outstanding print quality at speeds of up to 1,590 square feet per hour, making them ideal for businesses that require reliable, round-the-clock operation.
Versatile Ink Options for Diverse Applications
One of the standout features of the SureColor F9570H is its expanded 6-color ink set. This versatile configuration allows users to choose between ink combinations, including CMYK with Light Cyan and Light Magenta for smoother gradients, Fluorescent Pink and Fluorescent Yellow for eye-catching brightness, or Orange and Violet to broaden the color gamut. This flexibility makes the SureColor F9570H a valuable asset for print shops looking to offer a wide range of vibrant, high-quality products.
Enhanced Usability and Efficiency
Epson has focused on making the SureColor F9570 and F9570H as user-friendly as possible. Both models feature a 4.3-inch touchscreen for intuitive operation and a high-capacity, hot-swappable ink pack system that reduces downtime and boosts productivity. With each ink pack holding 1.6 liters, these printers are designed to minimize maintenance and maximize output.
Additional features include Epson Edge® Print software, which integrates seamlessly with Adobe® PDF Print Engine, ensuring a smooth and efficient workflow. The printers are also compatible with popular RIP software, making them versatile enough to fit into existing production environments.
Innovative Monitoring and Maintenance
To further support business efficiency, the SureColor F9570 and F9570H are equipped with Epson Cloud Solution PORT®. This system allows users to monitor printer status in real time, including production rates and utilization, ensuring optimal fleet productivity. Maintenance is also simplified with a fabric head wiper and easily accessible maintenance areas, helping to ensure consistent performance over time.
Image Pro is committed to providing top-notch customer support to ensure businesses can take full advantage of the capabilities offered by the SureColor F9570 and F9570H. These printers will be on display at the upcoming PRINTING United expo in Las Vegas, Nevada, from September 10-12, where attendees can see their capabilities firsthand.
