New 76-inch dye-sublimation printer with an 8-printhead architecture and optional Jumbo Roll supports higher throughput and production stability.

SUBANG JAYA, 1 July 2026 — Epson has strengthened its industrial textile printing portfolio with the introduction of the SureColor SC-F20030, a next-generation dye-sublimation printer designed to meet the growing demand for digital textile production across Southeast Asia. As manufacturers increasingly shift from traditional screen printing to digital workflows, the new printer is positioned to help businesses improve productivity, flexibility and operational efficiency while supporting the region’s rapidly expanding textile industry.

According to the Epson-IDC Digital Textile Printing Trends in Southeast Asia report, digital dye-sublimation technology enables print service providers to achieve revenue growth up to eight times faster than conventional screen printing. The technology is also opening new business opportunities in high-growth sectors such as sportswear, home textiles, footwear and customised apparel, where demand for shorter production runs and personalised products continues to rise.

Developed as the successor to the SureColor SC-F11030, the new SC-F20030 is built for high-volume production environments where speed, scalability and consistent print quality are essential. The 76-inch industrial printer is engineered to support fast-paced textile manufacturing while delivering reliable performance across both short-run and large-scale production.

A key highlight of the SC-F20030 is its advanced eight PrecisionCore MicroTFP printhead architecture, which doubles the printhead configuration of its predecessor to improve productivity and image quality. The printer is capable of achieving production speeds of up to 306 square metres per hour at 600 x 600 dpi, enabling businesses to complete high-volume jobs more efficiently without compromising print consistency.

To maximise uptime, Epson has equipped the printer with a range of intelligent production features, including an integrated drying system with double-sided heating to improve ink curing and minimise media wrinkling. A built-in dust reduction mechanism helps maintain print quality by reducing nozzle clogging, while an automatic hot-swap bulk ink system allows production to continue uninterrupted when ink packs require replacement.

The SC-F20030 also supports optional jumbo roll and jumbo reel units capable of handling media loads of up to 300 kilograms, allowing manufacturers to reduce media change frequency and improve productivity during extended production runs. In addition, selected maintenance components, including the printhead and anti-drying cap, can be replaced by users, reducing downtime and dependence on service technicians.

Alvin Tan, Managing Director of Epson Malaysia, said the textile printing industry in Southeast Asia is increasingly prioritising production flexibility, faster turnaround times and operational stability. He noted that the launch of the SC-F20030 reflects Epson’s ongoing commitment to supporting businesses with innovative digital printing technologies that enhance productivity while contributing to more sustainable manufacturing practices.

Building on the proven performance of the SC-F11030, the new SC-F20030 is expected to support textile manufacturers and print service providers as they transition from legacy printing processes to digital dye-sublimation technologies. The printer combines high-speed production, outstanding image quality and advanced automation features to help businesses remain competitive in an increasingly dynamic market.

The Epson SureColor SC-F20030 will be available in Malaysia from 1 July 2026, with configurations varying by market. The latest addition to Epson’s industrial printing portfolio further reinforces the company’s commitment to driving innovation and supporting the future growth of Southeast Asia’s digital textile printing industry.
