Our story
Epson has significantly advanced its capabilities through strategic
collaborations and acquisitions of key players, F.lli Robustelli
and For.Tex in Italy's
renowned 'Digital Textile Valley' of Como.
Engineered by F.lli Robustelli with Epson's Micro Piezo printheads
and leveraging For.Tex's expertise in premium
dyes and chemicals, the Monna Lisa defines
excellence in digital textile production. Launched in the early 2000s, the Monna Lisa has propelled Epson to
the forefront of the industrial digital textile market,
showcasing a legacy of innovation.
Total Textile Solution: Industrial digital printing integrated system
Epson’s Total Textile Solution is a comprehensive
integrated system tailored for industrial digital textile printing. Built
around the capabilities of Monna Lisa printers, every
aspect before and after printing is finely tuned to deliver optimal
results effortlessly. The diagram below illustrates the digital textile printing workflow with Monna Lisa.
Elevate your textile prints to new heights
Reliable performance powered by PrecisionCore
Driving the Monna Lisa is a new printhead array featuring Epson’s advanced PrecisionCoreTM
technology. Taking the example of 128 PrecisionCore MicroTFP print chips configured as 32
four-chip printheads, the array provides 12,800 nozzles2 for each colour and
outstanding productivity. While being highly durable, it is also designed for easy maintenance
to minimise downtime. PrecisionCore is the outcome of constant research and development to
achieve greater efficiency, quality and reliability in Direct-to-Fabric printing. Our range
features models from 8 to 64 printheads.
Symmetrical colour alignment for maximum print quality and
productivity
Symmetrical colour alignment ensures consistent colour overlap order is
maintained during bidirectional printing. As a result, colour and pattern reproduction are
exceptionally uniform, and even areas of solid colour and fine geometric patterning can be
beautifully rendered while maintaining high throughput.
The Textile Solution Centre is committed to the advancement of industrial digital textile
printing through research, support, education, and promotion. Covering the full production
process, from pre to post printing, it brings creative ideas to life and develops customised
solutions to give you the smoothest production experience.
PrecisionCore printheads
The new printhead array combines quality, precision, speed and reliability with unprecedented
results. It is the ultimate evolution of Epson’s proprietary Micro Piezo printing
technology.
Genuine GENESTA inks
GENESTA inks are developed by Epson in collaboration with For.Tex for Monna Lisa, to allow
precision, reliability and durability of fabric prints. The exclusive vacuum-packed degassed ink
management system is designed to achieve the maximum efficiency while minimising ink waste.
Precision Dot Technologies
Epson Precision Dot technologies, including microweave and lookup table (LUT) methods,
significantly reduce banding and graininess. The advanced Multi-layer halftone technology
randomises the halftone dot pattern, minimising image degradation due to dot misalignment.
Epson Edge Print Textile (RIP Software)
Epson Edge Print is designed to maximise the performance of PrecisionCore MicroTFP printheads and
GENESTA inks. Everything is done through the easy 3-steps, left-to-right user interface that
guides the operator throughout all the phases of preparation and production.
