"The next-generation technology offered in the SureColor F2100, and then again in the SureColor F3070 industrial series, really blew our minds," said
With the SureColor F3070 industrial features, Gotham City has experienced an increase in productivity with larger sized garments, and garments with big images. In addition, thicker apparel, such as sweatshirts, have benefited due to the new platen height sensor in the SureColor F3070, making printing on a sweatshirt pocket easier than ever.
The Epson DTG printers have integrated into the manufacturer's job pull automation system to further streamline workflow, increase efficiency and have provided a scalable solution. "Opening up the SDK, allowing us to really integrate, control and tie our systems into controlling the equipment made a huge difference," said
Topkins continued, "Epson printers have allowed us to scale up the business as we needed to. The printers are set-up in a pod configuration and that helps us to increase production as needed during peak season and when we have a surge in demand."
Gotham City's team also experienced benefits with the bulk ink tanks on the SureColor F3070 and simple maintenance features. "The SureColor F3070 allows us to schedule maintenance, so we can minimize the negative impact to our production," said Garriss. "It's not constantly going down; we don't have the Epson repair person here all the time. However, it's also nice having that support network from Epson, having that point of contact and them controlling the quality from beginning to end, whether it's through the ink, to the parts, to cleaning kits, it is nice to have a streamlined solution."
"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 created to help companies build reliable, streamlined businesses for printing custom content," said
