These two printers are aimed at fashion forward designers who want to be able to print directly onto fabric with high quality results. Both printers use UltraChrome DS ink from Epson that has been created to give fabrics of range of vivid colours. SureColor F7070 will retail at $9000 with the SureColor F6070 reaching a higher price point of $20,000, with these prices expected to be within the budgets of even designers that are just starting out in the fashion industry.

The Asia-Pacific textile printing market is currently the biggest globally, with an expected CAGR of over 4 per cent until 2020. The main reason for Asia becoming the market leader is because of rising population and strong economic growth in both India and China.
