Epson has released a new fashion textile printer
line, including the SureColorF7070 and the SureColor 6070, which would
come in particularly handy for designers who are now making their first
steps in the fashion world. The devices are innovative in that it allows
you to print a certain design directly onto the fabric, and one of
them, the SureColor7070 retailing for just $9,000. The SureColor6070 is
more expensive, though, at $20,000, but in exchange for the higher
price, it is capable of printing a design directly onto a piece of
apparel, such as a T-shirt, for example.

given that the world’s textile printing market is project to reach 30
billion square meters by 2020, and that would be the result of
innovations concerning the print speed, the efficiency of the process,
and the design of the machines. Asia is the market leader in the
industry, with growth there seen at a compound anhnual rate of 4% until
