The Epson SureColor SC-F6400 printer represents the fourth generation of 44-inch printers; it has been equipped with enhanced image quality, faster performance, and simpler operation. It adapts to a wide range of production applications, from custom fabrics and garments to quality decor and personalized products, and premium rigid and soft signage. It uses convenient 1.6-liter ink pouches. Prints are made on paper that is transferred (sublimated) via a heat press onto material with a polyester base or polyester pre-treatment.
The SC-F6400 is designed for medium-to-high production volumes: It combines a large 1.33" Epson print head with UltraChrome DS ink in a high-capacity tray-loaded ink system and advanced image processing using Precision Dot. All components work together to enable superior imaging with fine gradation, a wide color gamut, and high color density.
The ink system allows for cost-effective production at speeds of up to 70.8 m²/h. The integrated automatic cutter allows for the production of single sheets to operate with a flatbed heat press, while an optional Auto-Take-Up (ATU) allows for fast and efficient roll-to-roll production to operate with a calendar-style heat press.

Epson SureColor SC-F6400 sublimation printer: easy to set up and use

Dye-sublimation offers significant benefits over traditional screen printing. Digital image processing allows for simpler image creation and editing, more output control, and more flexible production with superior consistency. It is considerably faster and less expensive for short-to-medium production runs, requires less labor, involves fewer materials, and less waste. Printing is straightforward and production can take place in a relatively small amount of space. Job delivery is faster, and repeat runs can be performed at the push of a button. While the process is generally only suited to fabrics with a high polyester content, it can also be used with a variety of other materials that accept a polyester spray and withstand the heat and pressure of the transfer process. A wide range of products can be produced, including fabric banners and metal signs, wood furniture finishes and sports equipment, phone and tablet covers, footwear and sportswear, wall decorations, and home decor.
