Epson has introduced new printers to its Monna Lisa range of presses. These are Monna Lisa ML-16000/HY and Monna Lisa ML-24000 models, as well the new REACID configuration Monna Lisa ML-8000 and the Monna Lisa ML-32000 in new 3.4m width.
With 16 Epson PrecisionCore printheads, the 1.8m-wide ML-16000/HY can digitally create sophisticated special effects for modern printed fabrics, ranging from glossy lacquer through to gold and silver metal and opaque white while the 1.8m-wide ML-24000, the first to be equipped with 24 Epson PrecisionCore printheads and 12 colours, can print on all types of fabrics from natural, artificial, and synthetic materials through to innovative vegetable fibres. This machine boasts a reduction in the downtime required to change inks and can produce certified printed fabrics without having to change the type of inks in the machine.
Monna Lisa ML-8000 REACID configuration is the first printer in the series to be designed with REACID, a new configuration that adds a wide selection of other materials and fibres to the list of fabrics already supported by Monna Lisa printers, including non-traditional fibres.
Finally, the new 3.4m-wide Monna Lisa ML-32000 enables two pieces of fabric to be printed at the same time, therefore increasing productivity and reducing energy and resource consumption. Epson said its width is particularly suitable for furnishing and home textiles, enabling faster printing of curtains, bedspreads, furniture, and decorative accessories.
