“The SureColor F2100 industrial series and the SureColor F3070 inkjet series offer next-generation technology that truly blew our minds,” said a spokesperson. David TopkinsGotham City Online, co-founder. “The SureColor F3070 features compelling features like increased print speed and enhanced functionality. It also has a higher platen height. We have seen a better ROI on larger orders that required larger images due to its speed.
Gotham City has seen an increase in productivity due to the SureColor F3070’s industrial features. Gotham City can now produce larger-sized garments and garments with large images. The SureColor F3070 has a new platen height sensor that makes printing on sweatshirt pockets easier than ever.
The Epson DTG Printers are integrated with the manufacturer’s job-pull automation system to streamline workflow, increase efficiency, and provide a scalable solution. “Opening up SDK allowed us to integrate, control, and tie our systems into controlling equipment. It made a big difference,” she said. Jonathan GarrissGotham City Online CEO:
Topkins stated, “Epson printers allowed us to scale the business up as we needed.” The pod-based configuration of the printers allows us to increase our production when there is a spike in demand or peak season.
The SureColor F3070 bulk ink tanks and easy maintenance features also proved to be a benefit for Gotham City’s team. Garriss said, “The SureColor F3070 lets us schedule maintenance, so that we can minimize our production.” It doesn’t go down constantly, because we don’t have an Epson repair person available all the time. It’s nice to have an Epson support network, having that point-of-contact and being able to control the quality from start to finish, whether it be through the ink or the parts to cleaning kits.
“The advances that Epson has made enable us to keep our business running,” says Topkins, “We have been happy with Epson products – the machines, consumables and customer service.”
“The Epson DTG Printers were designed to help businesses build reliable, efficient businesses that can print custom content.” Tim CheckProfessional Imaging’s senior product manager. Epson America, Inc.
