Epson releases its Monna Lisa printer

Epson unveiled its new Monna Lisa printers at ITMA 2023, demonstrating the latest Epson innovations for a constantly evolving digital textile market. 

“Epson is constantly focused on renewing and expanding its range of solutions for textile printing and offering its customers the opportunity to meet the needs of an increasingly demanding and competitive market seeking the experimentation of new approaches, from shorter processes to the use of new fibres”, says Paolo Crespi, Commercial Director Epson Como Printing Technologies. “Thanks to our extended Monna Lisa series, we strongly want to highlight how the transition to increasingly sustainable textile production processes can be implemented through highly flexible solutions”.

The Monna Lisa ML-16000/HY is the ideal printer for companies that need to optimise the production of complex prints and offer the market more creativity. It can uniquely digitally create any type of the most sophisticated special effects for modern printed fabrics with gold, silver, and glossy tints, ranging from glossy lacquer through to gold and silver metal and opaque white.

Monna Lisa ML-24000 – Flexibility and widest colour range in the series

Concept of flexibility and efficiency is raised to the next level thanks to the wide range of available colours, the reduction in the downtime required to change inks and the possibility of producing certified printed fabrics without changing the type of inks in the machine. The first to be equipped with 24 Epson PrecisionCore printheads and 12 colours, Monna Lisa ML-24000 can print on all types of fabrics from natural, artificial, and synthetic fabrics through to the most innovative vegetable fibres. 

Monna Lisa ML-8000 REACID configuration – The most flexible solution to cover all fibres

Monna Lisa ML-8000 is the first printer in the series to be designed with the new REACID configuration, which is an absolute novelty in the Monna Lisa landscape and will soon be available on all other printers in the series. This new configuration adds a wide selection of other materials and fibres to the list of fabrics already supported by Monna Lisa printers, including non-traditional fibres, and thus reinforces Monna Lisa’s ability to adapt to a wide range of printing requirements, providing greater flexibility of use.

The Monna Lisa ML-32000 combines Epson’s high-tech digital technology with unprecedented versatility. Its new width of 340 cm allows two pieces of fabric to be printed at the same time, thus increasing productivity and reducing energy and resource consumption. The new printer’s width is particularly suitable for furnishing and home textile, allowing even faster printing of curtains, bedspreads, furniture and decorative accessories.
