Figures are print speed only for 346 x 408 mm image output using Epson Garment Creator 2. The printer supports a range of modes to suit different workflow, application, and quality requirements (a limited selection of these are documented above). Customers are recommended to check with their dealer on which mode is appropriate to their individual need and the consequential speed that may be achievable. It should be noted that actual print times will vary depending on a range of variables including the printer configuration, image size and type, print mode, software selection, PC specification, and networking configuration. It should be further noted that for direct-to-garment operation additional time will be required for pre-treatment, loading, flattening, unloading and fixing while direct-to-film operation will require time for powder application, liquefaction and transfer.

NOTE: The printer is shipped as standard for 5-colour operation but can alternatively be configured for high-speed 4-colour.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS  
A personal computer will be required for installation and operation of this printing system. When using the USB Direct Print function files must be processed through Garment Creator first.

Garment Creator 2 requires a PC or Mac with a processor that has power equivalent or better than an Intel Core i7 8th generation, at least 2 GB memory (16 GB recommended), 32 GB or more storage (SSD recommended), Win 8.1 64bit / Mac OS 10.12 or higher and a monitor with at least 1024 x 768 resolution.

A third-party heat press with adjustable temperature, pressure and timer will generally be required. Presses can be sourced from a number of suppliers in various sizes and formats. Contact your dealer for details.

DTG operation generally requires fabric to be pre-treated. Some garment suppliers provide stock pre-treated. If using untreated stock, it will need to be processed; this can be done manually (roller or spray application) however a pre-treatment machine is recommended for optimum results.

Direct-to-film (DTFilm) operation will require additional 3rd party film and powder. For optimum results an oven is also recommended. Powder application must be done away from the printer. Different films and powders behave differently with customers recommended to consult with their dealer for advice on brand selection, print and process settings
