EPSON PRINTING TECHNOLOGY: ADVANCING DIGITAL FABRIC PRINTING


Boost your productivity
The ML-18000 features 18 of Epson’s latest 4.73-inch high-density PrecisionCore Micro TFP printheads, allowing it to deliver exceptional productivity (252 sqm/h, 600x600 dpi, 2 pass) without compromising on quality.

Double black ink technology
The innovative double black ink technology delivers rich, deep black tones even at high printing speeds, perfect for applications in fashion, interior design, and more. This printer enables you to achieve outstanding results with every print, keeping you ahead of the competition.

Reduced water usage by water recycling unit
Built-in water recycling unit conserves valuable water resources by filtering and recycling the water used for belt cleaning. The compact water recycling unit features a small footprint, allowing it to connect to the ML-18000 without disrupting printer setup or existing workflows.


Epson precision dot technology for world-renowned image quality
Epson precision dot technologies include microweave and lookup table (LUT) technologies that reduce banding and graininess, and new, advanced Multi-layer halftone technology randomizes the halftone dot pattern to reduce image degradation caused by dot misalignment.


Symmetrical color alignment and accurate belt positron control technology
The ML-18000 features symmetrical color alignment for consistent color overlap order during high-speed bidirectional printing, and accurate belt position control technology for precise fabric feeding.

Dynamic alignment stabilizer technology for uniform dot density
Dynamic alignment stabilizer 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.

Wide color gamut for high quality printing with fine details
The wide color gamut enables the creation of vivid designs. Color gradations, small texts, fine details, and complex geometric patterns can be printed with high image quality.

Smaller installation space
ML-18000 is 33% smaller working area comparison to conventional ML-16000.
