Epson SureColor F2000 Direct To Garment Printer Review

Submitted by Melco Admin on Wed, 01/18/2017 - 16:07

"I have been running Epson's SureColor F2000 (white) DTG printer and have printed hundreds of shirts. There is no doubt in my mind that Epson has set a new standard for the DTG industry!

Along with Epson's UltraChrome Ink, the finished product is truly the best ever."
