A complete solution for fabric heat transfer printing
Recently, the EP32 Automatic Sublimation Printer for Fabric Textile Heat Transfer, which combines high performance and compatibility, has attracted a great deal of attention in the textile industry. This new model has become the new favorite of many companies because of its perfect fit with the I3200 printhead, which brings technological innovation to the field of fabric thermal transfer printing.
I3200 printhead compatibility system: a double breakthrough in precision and speed
As the core advantage of the device, the EP32 and I3200 printhead adaptation is not simply compatible, but through the underlying algorithm optimization to achieve the effect of “1+1>2”. I3200 printhead itself has a The I3200 printhead itself has a physical resolution of 1200 dpi, and with the EP32's proprietary droplet control technology, the droplet volume can be precisely controlled in the 3-15 pl (picoliter) range - small droplets are responsible for rendering hairline details, while large droplets enhance color block filling efficiency. This dynamic adjustment capability enables the device to print complex patterns up to 4cm square, while clearly displaying lines 0.1mm wide, and completing the entire pattern output within 10 seconds, which is more than 60% faster than traditional equipment. At the same time, the symmetrical layout of the dual printheads on the device allows the printing width to be extended to 1.8 meters while maintaining a constant output speed of 30 square meters per hour. The distance between the printheads and the fabric is calibrated in real time by a laser distance measuring system, and the error is controlled within ±0.1mm, which completely solves the problem of pattern shift caused by vibration during high-speed printing.
Full chain automation system: unmanned closed loop from infeed to finished product
EP32's automation technology runs through the whole production process, forming a complete closed loop of “Intelligent Infeed - Dynamic Printing - Precise Transfer - Automatic Winding”. Its intelligent feeding module is equipped with 3 sets of tension sensors, which can automatically adjust the traction force according to the thickness of the fabric (50-500g/㎡), so that even light chiffon or heavy canvas can be conveyed in a flat manner, avoiding printing defects caused by wrinkles. The temperature control system in the transfer printing process is a technological highlight: the equipment has 24 built-in independent temperature control modules, which monitor the surface temperature of the fabric in real time through infrared thermometers, stabilizing the temperature of the thermal transfer in the range of 180-220°C, with the temperature difference controlled within ±2°C. This precise temperature control capability makes the sublimation process more efficient and effective. This precise temperature control capability allows the sublimation dyes to maintain the same depth of penetration in the fabric fibers, ensuring that the color fastness of the black color block reaches the ISO standard level 5, and the sensitive colors such as red can also maintain more than 4 levels of sunlight resistance.
The emergence of EP32 not only significantly improves the precision and efficiency of fabric heat transfer printing, but also reduces the labor cost and material loss in the production process, which brings significant economic benefits to textile enterprises and pushes the industry to develop in the direction of higher efficiency and quality.
Another advantage of the EP32 is its wide range of applications. It can be adapted to a wide range of fabric materials, whether it is light chiffon, heavy canvas, or common polyester fabrics, cotton blended fabrics, etc., can realize high-quality thermal transfer printing. Moreover, the transferred fabrics have excellent performance in color fastness and sunlight resistance, with black color block color fastness up to ISO standard level 5, and red and other sensitive colors maintaining more than level 4 sunlight resistance, which meets the quality requirements of different textile products, and provides a reliable thermal transfer printing solution for apparel, home textiles, decorative fabrics and other fields.
