Epson SureColor SC-F1030 Compact Direct-to-Garment DTG Printer – C11CK78402

Transform Your Retail Space with Compact DTG Printing

Maximize your creative output without sacrificing valuable retail floor space. The Epson SureColor SC-F1030 represents a breakthrough in Direct-to-Garment (DTG) technology, standing as Epson’s most compact DTG printer ever designed. Ideal for storefronts, bespoke apparel boutiques, and novelty gift shops, this machine allows you to offer highly interactive, on-demand custom printing right in front of your customers. Designed with user experience in mind, the SC-F1030 features a purely frontal access architecture. Operators can quickly swap out the 250ml ink packs and replace maintenance boxes directly from the front panel, ensuring rapid turnover and minimal disruption to your retail environment.

PrecisionCore Print Quality & Advanced Auto Gap Adjustment

Deliver uncompromising, professional-grade prints on every garment. The SC-F1030 is powered by Epson’s state-of-the-art PrecisionCore MicroTFP Printhead, utilizing 2,400 nozzles to produce a stunning maximum resolution of 2,400 x 1,200 dpi. Consistency is guaranteed by the innovative Auto Gap Adjustment feature. Built-in sensors automatically detect the thickness of the loaded garment—supporting media up to 25mm thick—and autonomously adjust the platen height. This ensures the printhead maintains the perfect distance from the fabric at all times, preventing head strikes, minimizing ink mist, and guaranteeing sharp, stable prints across diverse materials including 100% cotton and polyester blends.

Vibrant UltraChrome DG2 Inks

Vivid colors and deep, opaque whites are essential for premium apparel. The SC-F1030 utilizes Epson’s latest formulation of pigment-based UltraChrome DG2 Inks (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, and White). These advanced inks have been specifically re-engineered to significantly reduce yellow and black ink bleeding, a common challenge when printing on light-colored garments with high water repellency. The result is exceptionally sharp edges, vibrant graphic reproduction, and a soft, comfortable hand-feel on the finished garment. Furthermore, these inks are certified by stringent environmental and safety standards, including ECO PASSPORT, GOTS, and Oeko-Tex, making them safe for adults and children alike.

Optimized Workflow with Garment Creator 2

Streamline your production pipeline from digital file to physical shirt. The SC-F1030 operates in tandem with Epson’s upgraded Garment Creator 2 software. This robust utility boasts significantly improved processing speeds and natively supports higher-resolution file inputs, allowing for finer details and smoother gradients in the final print. Whether you are printing intricate artwork on the included 10″ x 12″ small platen or using optional platens for sleeves and infant wear, the software and hardware work seamlessly to produce a light T-shirt in just 80 seconds, or a complex dark garment requiring a white underbase in 200 seconds.
