Epson Introduces
Next-Gen Printer

The F9370 is the newest addition
to the Epson SureColor Series.

EPSON AMERICA INC., Long Beach, California, has introduced
its latest wide-format textile printer, designed to deliver highspeed, reliable productivity for digital dye-sublimation transfers
for a range of polyester textile and apparel applications.
The 64-inch Epson SureColor F9370 delivers industrial-level
production with speeds up to 1,169 square feet per hour and
features an integrated fabric-wiping system, coupled with a rollto-roll media-support system to handle lightweight transfer papers,
according to the company.
Designed to support high-speed, economical, medium- to largevolume dye-sublimation transfer printing, the F9370 replaces
the F9200 to join Epson's line of SureColor F-Series printers,
including the F6200 and F7200.
"When developing the SureColor F9370, our engineers aimed
to increase performance, efficiency and reliability, which resulted
in production print speed increasing up to 75%, making it one
of the fastest printers on the market in this category," says Tim
Check, product manager, professional imaging, Epson America Inc.
Winner of the Specialty Graphic Imaging Association's
(SGIA) 2017 Product of the Year Award in the "Roll-to-Roll
Dye Sublimation on Textile" category, the SureColor F9370
leverages dual PrecisionCore TFP print heads and Epson's latest
dye-sublimation ink technology: Epson UltraChrome DS with
high-density black. Its roll-to-roll media-support system features
advanced, automatic paper-tension control to ensure consistent
paper-feed movement, regardless of paper weight and core shape
or diameter, according to the company.
The Epson SureColor F9370 is now available through authorized
Epson Professional Imaging resellers.
