The Epson F2260 DTG printer is super easy to operate and maintain, and delivers low cost, high quality
Direct to Garment AND Direct to Film customisation of shirts, caps, bags and more.
The perfect “hybrid” DTG and DTF printer solution
The SureColor SC-F2260 direct-to-garment printer lets you set up and start printing t-shirts and other items straight away, with a complete purpose-built solution including printer, printhead, inks and software. This new model offers faster, higher quality printing, with reduced user intervention and the ability to create your own designs.
The F2260 features a sold chassis with high precision head and platen movement. Incorporating the latest Epson PrecisionCore™ MicroTFP technology, the print head is 33% larger with 11% more nozzles for faster production and offers superior accurancy and consistency with high reliability and durability.
The printer processes a job through a customised look-up table that selects the precise amount of ink before the printer applies it quickly and evenly for a superior image with high colour accurancy and minimal ink consumption – that’s high quality + lower costs!
Highlight White offers simultaneous printing of White and color inks on the color pass for greatly improved image quality, speed, and efficiency.
Superior pigment ink technology developed by Epson as part of it’s turnkey DTG solution (Print head + printer + inks + software) delivers a wide color gamut and a product that is safe for use by infants, children and adults alike. (Epson’s UltraChrome DG ink has been awarded an ECO PASSPORT certification from OEKO-TEX® – this is an international safety standard in the textile industry)
Loading and unloading garments to the printer has never been easier with your choice of using the included platen with the grip pad for rapid loading and unloading of garmetns or with a frame that comes supplied with the platen for maximum placement precision and image quality.
The loading area has been made cleaner with less items to snag garments or film
Fine height adjustment is now automatic to ensure faster loading, better and more consistent print quality. As a garment is fed into the printer the height is checked and the head height adjusted by up to 3.5mm with a 2mm loading tolerance. The control panel enables additional adjustment of the gap target (most detected, lowest and highest point across the print area).
The F2260 features a standard platen size of 356x406mm (print area) – and has a maximum print area of 406 x 508mm with the (optional) large platen – great for those oversized adult garments and larger merchandise items. With a full suite of easy to swap, optional platens, including Medium, extra Small, Sleeve & Grooved (for plackets and zips), you’ll be ready to print a range of garments and products with the Epson F2260 DTG printer.
With daily self-cleaning and maintenance and featuring in-line cleaning solution and a print head dust / lint guard, this printer is one of the most reliable in it’s class.
The integrated Automatic Head Wiper removes ink build up from print heads and fluff from the dust catcher.
The triple white ink filtration system and patented automatic white ink recirculation system substantially reduce white ink nozzle clogging (over other white ink DTG printers).
Less than 10 minutes PER WEEK of user maintenance is typically required to keep the Epson F2260 running at optimum performance, meaning that it is ready to run when you are!
Take advantage of spare print capacity of your DTG printer and print Direct to Film (DTF).
Combining the best of DTG, heat transfer & screenprinting, DTF allows you to offer a wider range of products & services without the need to purchase additional print equipment! Apply prints to areas that you typically can’t (easily) get to with DTG – like sleeves, pockets, caps, shoes and more. Decorate a wider range of fabrics as well – including dark polyesters – all with high quality and durable prints!
The EcoFreen range of DTF films and powders have been developed & manufactured specifically for use with Epson inks and DTG printers (like the Epson F2260) – giving you consistently high quality prints. 2
Use of Ecofreen products with the Epson DTG printers will not impact on the Epson printer warranty if the DTF products are used correctly. This includes (but not limited to) ensuring that DTF powder application is processed well away from the printer – we recommend at least 5 metres. This distance recommendation applies also to pretreat application in DTG mode.
Roll to Roll production can offer an efficient solution for print runs that are long and standardized. Each job takes time to set up but when production commences it can be completed reasonably quickly. When orders are shorter the process becomes a lot less efficient, requiring proportionally more labor for set up, management and finishing.
Additionally, the requirement for the roll to roll printer + finishing equipment to be “in-line” can make it a very large footprint, and can be challenging to fit in to a smaller workspace.
Hybrid production is more flexible. It supports a wide range of output volumes, from single prints to multiples. Set-up is simpler while finishing is easier.
With the F2260, operators have the advantage of a 3rd generation machine with proven reliability, durability and outstanding image quality. Equipment is backed by a comprehensive single-vendor warranty that covers all components including the critical (and expensive) print heads with service cover extendable up to a total of 5 years.
They also have the ability to switch seamlessly back and forward from DTG to DTFilm and create a much wider range of output for superior value and return on investment.

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 us 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.

All software is delivered via Web download. Internet connection will also be required for ECSP activation and on-going printer connection.
NOTE: The printer is shipped as standard for 5-colour operation but can alternatively be configured for high-speed 4-colour. This must be done during initial set-up and once determined, cannot be changed. Customers interested in this configuration are recommended to speak with Epson &/or their dealer prior to purchase.
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 3rd party Heat Press with adjustable temperature, pressure and timer (such as the ST-4050A) will be required.
Use of white ink and output on fabric a high level of polyester, rayon or other man-made fibres requires material to be pre-treated prior to printing. Some garment suppliers provide stock pre-treated. If using untreated stock,pre-treatment liquid can be applied manually (roller or spray) however for optimum results a pre-treatment machine is recommended.
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.
After sales support is co-ordinated via Epson’s authorised dealer network. In the situation where a hardware repair is required this will be organised by your dealer and provided by Epson free on-site within metro locations (regional locations will attract additional charges).
