Top 6 Reasons to Upgrade from the Epson SureColor F6370 to the SureColor F6470
The Epson SureColor F6470 has been on the market for nearly a year, replacing the best-selling large format dye-sublimation printer, the SureColor F6370. With many SureColor F6370 printers still in use, customers often wonder if upgrading to the newest technology is worth it. Here are the top six reasons why upgrading to the SureColor F6470 is a smart move.
1. No More Pouring Ink Bags into Reservoirs
Say goodbye to the mess and hassle of pouring ink into reservoirs! The SureColor F6470 features new 1.6L click-and-print ink bags that easily slide into place at the front of the printer. This system eliminates ink spills, orphan bags without chips, and those frustrating magenta ink stains on your hands. This convenience alone is a compelling reason to upgrade.
2. Improved Ink Filtration System
The SureColor F6470's ink bags come with built-in filtration, both inside the bags and within the printer itself. Each new ink bag provides a fresh filter, ensuring that any particles are strained out before reaching the print head. In the SureColor F6370, ink was poured into a reservoir, leading to sediment buildup that could cause grainy prints or nozzle failures. The continuous filtration in the SureColor F6470 results in better print quality and enhanced printer reliability—two more excellent reasons to upgrade your printer.
3. Faster Print Speeds
The SureColor F6470 is equipped with a new print head that is 20% larger than the F6370's, leading to significantly faster print speeds. The F6370 is rated at 175 sq. ft./hr for Sports Apparel Production and 325 sq. ft./hr for Fashion and Signage production. In comparison, the SureColor F6470 achieves 400 sq. ft./hr for Sports Apparel Production and 535 sq. ft./hr for Fashion and Signage production. This translates to more than double the speed for sports apparel and a 65% increase for fashion and signage—an impressive upgrade.
4. Neon Ink and Extended Gamut
The SureColor F6470H variant includes two extra ink channels, expanding from 4 colors to 6. These channels can be configured for Neon Pink and Neon Yellow, Orange and Violet, or Light Cyan and Light Magenta. Neon inks are ideal for high-visibility apparel and sportswear, while the extended gamut with Orange and Violet is perfect for printing brand colors requiring a broader color spectrum. These options make the SureColor F6470H a versatile choice for various high-demand applications.
5. Included Take-Up Reel
The SureColor F6470 includes a take-up reel, which would cost around $800 as an add-on for the SureColor F6370. This feature allows for longer print runs and higher production throughput, making it easier to manage large projects efficiently.
6. Easier User Maintenance
Maintenance on the SureColor F6470 is simpler and more accessible. The improved maintenance station is easier to clean, allowing you to keep your printer in top condition with just five minutes of maintenance once a month.
Conclusion
These top six reasons highlight why upgrading to the Epson SureColor F6470 is a smart move for anyone upgrading or entering the dye sublimation market. Enhanced convenience, better print quality, faster speeds, versatile ink options, and easier maintenance are just a few things that make this a worthwhile investment.
