High-Speed Industrial DTG Textile Printer with Epson Heads – CO-1802 Model

Experience precision and efficiency in digital textile printing with the CO-1802 high-speed industrial DTG (Direct-to-Garment) printer, engineered for professional-grade output across diverse fabric types. Designed for global manufacturers seeking reliability, this machine integrates advanced inkjet technology, automated workflow systems, and robust performance metrics to meet demanding production environments. Whether you're producing custom apparel, home textiles, or industrial fabrics, this solution delivers consistent quality, faster throughput, and minimal downtime.

Key features include Star Fire SG1024 high-speed industrial print nozzles for rapid, uninterrupted operation; a magnetic suspension linear motor ensuring exceptional print accuracy; a negative pressure ink control system paired with an ink degassing mechanism that enhances jetting stability and reduces clogging risks. The automatic belt cleaning system supports continuous production cycles, while the active take-up/unwinding structure maintains tension consistency—critical for preventing pattern distortion during printing on stretchable materials like knits or woven cotton, linen, silk, wool, polyester, and nylon.

The CO-1802 offers flexible configurations tailored to specific needs: choose from 2, 4, or 8 Epson DX5, Epson 4720, or Epson 5113 print heads depending on your volume goals. With customizable printing widths of up to 3200mm and compatible fabric thicknesses ranging from 2 to 30mm, it adapts seamlessly to both narrow and wide-format applications. It supports multiple ink types including reactive, acid, sublimation, and pigment inks—ideal for vibrant, durable prints on various textile substrates. In addition, the system utilizes a 10-color configuration (C, M, Y, K, LC, LM, Grey, Red, Orange, Blue), enabling rich color depth and extended gamut reproduction for complex designs.

Performance is optimized through intelligent engineering: at 4-pass mode using four print heads, the unit achieves speeds up to 90 square meters per hour when equipped with Epson 5113/4720 heads—a significant advantage over traditional methods. For even higher productivity, eight-head setups deliver up to 180 sqm/h. Integrated infrared drying ensures efficient curing without overheating delicate fibers, while the Win10-based workstation runs Wasatch or Neo Stampa RIP software for precise color management and seamless file handling. The system also supports standard image formats such as JPEG, TIFF, BMP, and both RGB and CMYK color spaces.

This industrial-grade textile printer is ideal for fashion brands, textile manufacturers, screenless printing studios, and contract producers operating in Europe, North America, Australia, and other international markets. Its compact footprint, scalable design, and energy-efficient operation make it suitable for small workshops and large-scale facilities alike. Designed for stable environmental conditions (18–28°C temperature, 50–70% humidity), it ensures consistent results under real-world manufacturing settings.

Users report improved workflow continuity due to the self-cleaning function and reliable ink delivery system, which minimizes maintenance interruptions. Many appreciate the ability to switch between different ink types quickly—an essential feature for businesses offering multi-fabric services. Additionally, the modular construction allows easy upgrades or adjustments based on evolving production demands.

Frequently asked questions often center around setup requirements, compatibility with existing workflows, and support for specialty fabrics. While some users initially query about air compressor specifications (minimum 0.3 m³/min flow and 6 kg/cm² pressure), most find the integration straightforward once guidelines are followed. Others inquire about training resources—though the intuitive interface and comprehensive documentation reduce learning curves significantly. Overall, feedback highlights long-term cost savings, reduced waste, and superior print quality compared to conventional screen printing methods.
