Epson has introduced its first expansion of the SureColor G-Series wide-format dedicated direct-to-film (DTF) printer line with the launch of the SC-G9060 model.
Epson says the SC-G9060 is engineered for reliable, non-stop performance, consistent colour and minimal maintenance, allowing garment producers and print shop owners to focus on creating high-quality apparel and merchandise.
Featuring production print speeds, print flexibility and automated maintenance features, the 64-inch SC-G9060 has been engineered from the ground up for DTF applications and joins its smaller sibling, the SC-G6060.
The SC-G9060 expands on Epson’s extensive range of fabric printers and is aimed at volume production – promising consistent high-quality output with low running costs, minimum maintenance and a high duty cycle, along with high-speed throughput, without sacrificing colour accuracy and detail.
The company says it delivers consistent, repeatable colour without constant oversight, thanks to a user-replaceable PrecisionCore Micro TFP printhead, Nozzle Verification Technology and UltraChrome DF inks.
With a large-capacity sealed-ink-pack system and roll print flexibility, the SC-G9060 is ideal for high-volume printing, oversized graphics and large transfer orders. Leveraging automated maintenance routines to reduce downtime and user-friendly controls, it’s built to support long-run productions and keep print shops running smoothly around the clock.
“Epson continues to expand its professional fabric printing line-up to meet the evolving needs of the market,” said Darren Kerber, product manager for Professional Print Solutions at Epson Australia.
“Building on the success of our existing solutions, the new SC-G9060 introduces a 64-inch format that delivers greater flexibility and productivity for businesses looking to scale. This addition reinforces our commitment to providing high-quality, reliable solutions that help customers maximise efficiency and profitability.
“With its advanced DTF capabilities, the SC-G9060 makes it easier than ever to customise garments and accessories, enabling vibrant imaging across a broader range of materials and opening new opportunities for growth in the textile sector.”
The SC-G9060 features a convenient bulk ink management design with all-front-loaded consumables. It supports film rolls up to 1626mm wide and 250mm in diameter.
It also incorporates an auto-cutter for sheet-based production, which can be used ‘in-line’ with a range of third-party powder shaker/oven machines for roll-based production.
The 2.64” PrecisionCore Micro TFP printhead supports print speeds up to approximately 32m²/hr in colour + white. Epson’s Nozzle Verification Technology (ink-less nozzle status monitoring), auto-head cleaning, auto cap-cleaning and continuous white-ink recirculation also ensures consistent high-quality output with maximum productivity and minimum waste.
The printer uses 1.6 L UltraChrome DF ink packs that are cost-effective to order, easy to agitate, quick and mess-free to load. Epson Precision Dot image processing ensures the SC-G9060 can produce accurate and consistent prints with bright colour and an enhanced gamut.
The SC-G9060 has been purpose-built for fast and efficient production. It is designed to operate with minimal operator oversight and minimum manual maintenance – requiring only a few minutes each week to ensure smooth and reliable operation.
It features a high duty cycle and ships with a comprehensive warranty that covers the printhead. Service cover can be extended with CoverPlus up to a total of five years for a low total cost of ownership.
Finally, the printer features integrated support for Epson’s Cloud Solution PORT service2, which is a free web-based service that can be accessed from desktop PCs for direct management, as well as Android and iOS devices for remote monitoring. The PORT service provides advanced reporting and costing tools, while facilitating enhanced support and service for maximum uptime.
“The SC-G9060 is a great addition to Epson’s fabric range and should be well received by manufacturers with volume DTF production needs,” Kerber added.
“For users with lower requirements and those who wish to produce a mix of DTG and DTF, we will continue to recommend our SC-F1060, SC-F2260, SC-F3000 and SC-G6060 models.”
The SC-G9060 will be available in Australia from mid-2026 and New Zealand shortly after that. RRPs will be announced closer to the time of release.
