With its printing capacity, you may wonder if the Epson F3070 will cause a significant increase in your electricity bill. There is no need to worry about increases in your utility bill as the F3070 is powered by standard, regularly available 120 V outlets. The printer is powered through two standard 120 volt systems: one for the printer and one for the ink system. One benefit of this industrial-grade printer is its portability. As long as the printer and ink system are connected to a power outlet, you can reorganize your workspace to your liking.
If you already have experience operating the F2100, the ease of the F3070 will surprise you. The F3070 has the capability to auto-detect the health of your nozzle and correct any issues it senses automatically. As it performs this auto-detection and correction, the F3070 continues to print without any interruptions or pauses.
Additionally, operators now have the ability to replace the printer’s printhead on their own without any extra tools or the assistance of a technician. Operators can now simply pop the printhead out from its place and insert a new printhead when necessary. It’s as easy as that!

Ink

The F3070 uses a 1.5 liter bag bulk ink system that combines the benefits of a bulk size and filtration system of its cartridge system. Previously we mentioned the downfalls of bulk ink systems and how it fails to limit contamination by dust and debris into the ink bottles, lines, and the print head. The F3070 is equipped with a filtration system to protect against debris from entering.
The 3070 and 2100 use the same ink so there’s no need to be concerned about any difference in quality or color between the two printers. Each liter of ink for the F3070 is priced at an affordable rate of only $150.
The Epson F3070 is optimal for businesses that receive orders for garments with multiple, different designs. Operators that regularly receive high-volume orders of the same design should opt for a screen-printing setup over dtg.

Productivity

There is a drastic and noticeable difference in the print speeds between the F3070 and the F2100. The F3070 has a dual printhead system which allows for single-pass printing. During this single-pass printing, the white and color inks are printed almost simultaneously. Other dtg printers will first spray the white underbase, then undergo a second round where the color is laid on top of the white underbase. The F3070 prints a full-colored shirt within one pass time and is ready to cure after its first pass through the dual printhead system.
As with all DTG printers, the mode settings that you assign will largely determine how quickly a print can be completed. In general, a white t-shirt print on the F3070 will take anywhere from 30 seconds to 73 seconds to complete. A black garment will take anywhere between 43 seconds to 112 seconds.
We want to stress that productivity should not be measured solely on print speed. The Epson F3070 comes with upgrades that minimize some of the downtime that may be experienced between prints. Some of these upgrades include speeding up of the data transmission time from the computer to the printer as well as an automatic platen height adjuster. Operators can print a t-shirt and a thick, hoodie back-to-back without having to manually adjust the platen height between prints. With its various sensors encased within, the F3070 moves the platen as close to the printheads as possible for the finest quality print automatically. Fulfilling multiple orders back-to-back has become that much easier!
