The Epson SureColor DS series has long offered a superior production platform; developed from the ground up for Dye Sublimation, it combines superior image quality, better colour, lower running costs, and higher reliability, all backed with a comprehensive factory warranty. The F560 takes the concept further with a low-cost package that provides a total imaging solution complete with software, ink and media. Designed for custom merchandise and décor production, it is also suited to photo imaging, hard signage, and even small fabric applications. It features a compact design with flexible media support, and a Continuous Ink Supply System (CISS). Prints are made on paper which transfers (sublimates) via a heat press onto material with a polyester base or polyester pre-treatment.

The SC-F560 is designed for an ad-hoc workflow and low production volumes. It features the latest Epson print head technology and has a media handling system that supports operation with sheet and roll stocks. It uses advanced Epson Dye Sublimation ink that is loaded into a small tank system using inexpensive bottles. The print head and ink work together to enable outstanding image quality with fine gradation, a wide gamut, and high colour density. The engine supports production speeds up to 21m2/hr while an integrated auto-cutter enables sheet-based output for operation with a wide variety of inexpensive 3rd party heat presses.

Installation & Operation	A heat press will be required to enable production; details on models, features and pricing can be provided by your Epson Authorised Large Format Fabric Dealer. Some assembly and configuration will be required. A set-up guide is included to assist with this process. Two ink sets and 2 maintenance tanks are included with this printer; a proportion of the first set and one of the maintenance tanks will be used to ‘prime’ the printer during initial set-up. Delivery, de-boxing and package removal is not typically included but can be provided at an additional charge for most locations. Reliable operation requires the printer to be used on a regular basis and not left powered down for extended periods. The printer is not designed for mobile operation and prior to transport it is recommended that ink be removed. Dye sub ink is extremely stable once sublimated however care must be taken prior to this; unopened bottles should be stored in a cool environment away from sunlight and consumed by the best before date printed on the package, ink should be consumed within one month of loading into tanks, opened bottles should be consumed within 6 months, and prints should be sublimated within a week of creation (1~2 days recommended). This printer is designed to operate with specific consumables and be used for ad-hoc / low volume work. It does not suit applications which require continuous &/or high volume production. Please refer to the warranty section for details on operational and mechanical life rating limitations.
