Finest Print Quality and Exceptional Productivity
PrecisionCore Micro TFP printheads
Equipped with 18 PrecisionCore Micro TFP printheads, the latest high-density, high-precision printheads developed and manufactured in-house, it realizes high productivity and image quality.
Epson Precision Dot Technology
Epson precision dot technologies include microweave and lookup table (LUT) technologies that reduce banding and graininess, and advanced Multi-layer halftone technology randomizes the halftone dot pattern to reduce image degradation caused by dot misalignment.
Enhanced black density with Dual Black Ink Technology
The innovative dual black ink technology delivers rich, deep black tones even at high printing speeds, perfect for applications in fashion, interior design, and more.
Symmetrical Colour Alignment
Symmetrical colour alignment maintains consistent colour overlap order during high-speed bi-directional low-pass printing for uniform image quality.
Dynamic Alignment Stabiliser (DAS) Technology for uniform dot density
Dynamic Alignment Stabiliser (DAS) technology ensures stable print quality by controlling waveforms on printhead chip to achieve higher dot placement accuracy and more uniform dot density on each pass.
Accurate Belt Position Control (ABPC) Technology for high-precision fabric feeding
The ML-18000 achieves high image quality with new Accurate Belt Position Control (ABPC) technology that automatically detects belt feeding distance to ensure highly accurate fabric feeding.
High Reliability
Dual sensor system to prevent costly head strikes
Dual head-strike sensors detect any folds or wrinkles that may cause the fabric to come into direct contact with the printheads. If folds or wrinkles are detected, the sensors immediately stop the carriage to avert a potential head strike.
High-accuracy head alignment technology and built-in RGB camera for easy printhead replacement
High-precision positioning pins and holes on the printhead and carriage enable to replace printheads quickly. To minimize downtime after printhead replacement, a built-in RGB camera automatically analyzes reference patterns and recalibrates printer settings to prevent dot misalignment, banding, and colour shift.
Nozzle verification technology and advanced cleaning mechanisms
Nozzle verification technology detects missing dots that indicate nozzle clogging, and adjusts ink delivery to maintain image quality and reduce printing errors. A fluff blower system removes fluff from the fabric surface before it enters the printing area, and an ink mist extraction system helps reduce nozzle clogging problems.
High-capacity ink supply for uninterrupted production
Dual 10 litre high-capacity ink cartridges are hot-swappable, enabling continuous printing.
Epson Edge Print PRO X RIP Software (Option) Maximises Performance
Epson Edge Print PRO X is designed to maximise the performance of PrecisionCore MicroTFP printheads and GENESTA inks. It is easy to use with an intuitive interface. Epson Edge Print PRO X series software supports Adobe PDF Print Engine (APPE) - the industry’s leading technology and new 16-bit rendering. The feature-rich software includes step and repeat, hot folders, print cost analysis tool and colour adjustment for matching spot colours. The user interface is offered in 13 languages.
