Epson’s complete 'design-to-finish' production demos of t-shirts, apparel, wall coverings and signage attracted huge crowds to during the recent FESPA Digital show in Munich.
The company also picked up two prestigious EDP Awards: the Epson SureColor SC-F2000 won “Best Direct to Garment Textile Printer” and Japanese Kozo Paper Thin translucent, natural-fibre inkjet paper, won “Best No-Adhesive Roll Media”.
The high level of interest underlines how serious Epson is as a manufacturer of quality products for the textile, decor, sign and display sectors. Over the last two years alone, Epson has introduced 10 professional print products under the ‘Sure’ brand. These have feature several ‘firsts’ which bring new levels of quality and versatility to the industry.

These include Epson’s first single-pass digital label press and UV technology (the SurePress L-6034V), its first mini dry photolabs (the SureLab range), its first signage/POS wide-format printers (the SureColor SC-S range), its first dye sublimation printers (the SureColor SC-F range), its first direct-to-garment textile printer (the SureColor SC-F2000, pictured above) and a new-generation of aqueous display graphics printers (the SureColor SC-T range).
