Epson launches SureColor G9000: high-production Direct-To-Film printer delivering greater productivity and reliability

Epson SureColor G9000 © 2026 Epson
Epson today announces the launch of the SureColor G9000, a new high-production Direct-To-Film (DTFilm) printer designed to meet growing global demand for flexible and efficient textile transfer printing. Expanding Epson’s DTFilm line-up alongside the SC-G6000, the SC-G9000 introduces enhanced speed, reliability and ease of maintenance for commercial garment decorators and textile producers.


Direct-To-Film (DTFilm) printing creates heat-applied transfers that can be applied to a wide variety of fabrics, including cotton, polyester, nylon, blends, leather and rigid surfaces. The SC-G9000 offers a complete Epson solution, with Epson-manufactured printer, printhead, inks and software – ensuring optimal quality, system compatibility and long-term reliability.

The new model continues Epson’s investment in high-growth textile segments. Since 2020, DTFilm has become one of the fastest-expanding digital textile printing technologies, with 8% forecast annual growth[1], while traditional Direct-To-Garment (DTG) printing volumes decline. The SC-G9000 builds on this momentum with the first high-production, roll-to-roll DTFilm system from Epson.

The SC-G9000 integrates PrecisionCore Micro TFP printhead technology, a built-in front heater and large 1.6 L UltraChrome DF ink pouches for sustained throughput. A default 1200×600 dpi resolution achieves faster production speeds with superior image quality compared to previous models, while a new built-in after-heater prevents ink dripping and broadens media compatibility.

The system supports automatic daily maintenance, including a fabric wiper that cleans the printhead and automated cleaning of the suction cap. This automation significantly reduces operator time and ensures maximum uptime, ideal for busy production environments.

Designed for high-volume users, the SC-G9000 features:

  • 2.64” PrecisionCore micro TFP printhead with symmetrical nozzle arrangement, providing high productivity whilst maintaining high image quality
  • Media capacity up to 1,626mm wide rolls, supporting all common DTFilm media widths on the market
  • User-replaceable printheads, reducing downtime and service intervention.
  • Minimal user maintenance, with an optimised fabric wiper system requiring only periodic replacement.
  • A 4.3-inch touchscreen, signal lamp, and internal print-area lighting for clear visual feedback during production.

The printer ships with Epson Edge Print Pro and Fiery Digital Factory Epson Production Edition RIP software, plus supports leading third-party ISV RIP solutions, ensuring seamless workflow compatibility. The SC-G9000 will be sold as a printer-only unit, with dedicated reseller partners supplying compatible powder shakers or curing units, along with films, powders and other consumables.

“With the launch of the SC-G9000, Epson is strengthening its leadership in the fast-growing DTFilm market,” said Grant Cooke, Product Manager, Commercial & Industrial Printing, Epson Europe. “Customers have told us they need greater productivity, more reliability and less hands-on maintenance. The SC-G9000 delivers on all fronts, giving demanding production environments a high-performance solution engineered entirely by Epson.

“Using proven technology from existing Epson platforms such as the SC-R5000 and SC-F3000, the SC-G9000 delivers the speed, reliability and image quality customers expect from Epson, all while reducing the total cost of ownership and time to market for businesses expanding into DTFilm production.”

Availability: The Epson SureColor G9000 will be available through authorised Epson resellers from Summer 2026.
