Just Announced: Epson SureColor F9570 64” Dye Sublimation Printer
Epson has just made waves in the printing industry by announcing the new 64” SureColor F9570 dye-sublimation printer, the first of its kind in nearly nine years. This innovative printer is designed for both metal and hard substrates, and it offers groundbreaking speed improvements for fabric sublimation. With the redesigned SureColor F9570, Epson has completely revamped its 64” dye-sublimation lineup, setting new standards in performance and efficiency.
A Sleek, Compact Design
One of the first things you’ll notice about the new SureColor F9570 is its sleek, compact body design. Epson has reduced the printer’s size by nearly 25% compared to its predecessors, the SureColor F7200 and F9470. This smaller footprint is a significant advantage for fleet environments, allowing businesses to generate more throughput per square foot.
Impressive Throughput and Speed
So, just how much throughput can you expect? Epson claims that the F9570 can print nearly 1,600 sq. ft. per hour in fabric modes, a staggering 50% faster than the F9470. Even more impressive are the speed increases for printing on metal and hard substrates, where the F9570 can print more than four times faster than the F7200. These speed improvements are game-changers, potentially reducing the number of printers needed in fleet production environments.
Advanced Printhead Technology
The dramatic speed increase in the F9570 is largely due to its new printhead technology. For the first time, Epson has integrated its large 2.6” 12-channel PrecisionCore® printhead into a dye-sublimation printer. This printhead, which has proven successful in Epson’s P Series photo printers, brings unparalleled quality and speed to the dye-sublimation family. The use of a single printhead also ensures precise dot placement, eliminating the need for complex and time-consuming calibrations required by staggered multi-head printers.
Easy, User-Replaceable Printheads
Another significant feature is the easy user-replacement of the printhead. Epson now allows customers to quickly replace the printhead without tools. With just four thumb screws and an automatic recalibration process, customers can be back up and running in under an hour—a huge improvement over the typical 1-2 days of downtime previously required.
Two Versions to Choose From
The F9570 comes in two versions: the base 4-color F9570 with a CMYK ink set and the 6-color F9570H, which offers three ink set options. The F9570H’s additional colors can be configured as LC/LM, Or/V, or Fl Y/Fl P, allowing users to tailor the printer to their specific product needs. Whether for photography, fine art, brand color printing, or high-visibility workwear, the F9570H provides flexibility to meet diverse demands.
Convenient Ink Management
Epson has also upgraded the ink management system with 1.6L click-and-print ink bags, replacing the older manual fill reservoirs. This advancement not only makes the process easier and cleaner but also improves printhead health with additional filtration. The F9570 and F9570H support hot-swappable inks, allowing continuous operation by automatically switching to a second bag when one runs out.
Additional Features
Other notable features include a large 4.3” touchscreen panel for easy operation, a roll media lifter to reduce physical strain when loading paper, and an automatic fabric wiper system to keep the printhead clean. These enhancements contribute to the printer’s overall reliability and ease of use.
Conclusion
The Epson SureColor F9570 represents a significant leap forward in dye-sublimation printing. With its compact design, advanced printhead technology, and impressive speed improvements, this printer is poised to set the standard for the next decade.
