Epson unveils SureColor G6030, revolutionising textile printing
Fuss-free Maintenance and Reliable Operational Stability
Epson has introduced the SureColor G6030, its first Direct-to-Film printer designed to meet rising demand in wearable printing as the market shifts from DTG to DTFilm technology.
The 32-inch model features a 1.6-litre ink capacity, automated maintenance, and minimal daily upkeep.
Certified by Oeko-Tex Eco Passport and GOTS, it supports sustainable, high-speed printing.
The SC-G6030 is designed to streamline operations by eliminating the need for daily maintenance tasks, making it a highly efficient solution for businesses. Unlike traditional printers, it only requires a simple shake of the white ink pack at the beginning of each day. The DTFilm printer automates key processes like nozzle checks, bidirectional adjustments, paper feed adjustments, and job sending. This enables parallel task execution, allowing a single operator to manage multiple units, which reduces manual follow-up work and significantly lowers operational costs.
In terms of maintenance, the SC-G6030 features an easy-to-maintain fabric wiper system that only requires occasional replacement of consumables, unlike traditional printers with rubber wipers that demand daily cleaning. The wiper unit uses a fabric feed system, ensuring a fresh wipe every time and reducing the frequency of maintenance.
The DTFilm printer also features a distinct cap station and suction cap system that further minimises the need for manual upkeep. The auto suction cap cleaning function eliminates the need for regular printhead cleaning by using maintenance liquid to remove dried ink from the cap edges. This ensures a proper seal for suction, enhancing productivity.
Additionally, the SC-G6030 is equipped with a white ink circulation system that prevents sedimentation, reducing clogging and maintaining consistent print quality. Epson’s UltraChrome DF ink is designed to recover easily from sedimentation, incorporating spacer material that enhances performance and ensures smooth, uninterrupted printing.
Versatile Printing Performance with Sustainability at its Core
The SC-G6030 offers various print modes to meet customer needs and expand application possibilities. With the capability to deliver full-colour graphic in under 9 minutes, the printer delivers exceptional speed and performance. Enhancing its credibility, the SC-G6030 is certified by the Oeko-Tex Eco Passport, guaranteeing that its inks are free from harmful substances and meet strict safety and environmental standards. Additionally, it is also certified by Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), ensuring that its printing process follows environmentally conscious practices, from raw materials to product labelling.
Enhanced Efficiency and User-Centric Design
The SC-G6030 offers several user-friendly features that enhance operational efficiency. The inbuilt cutter function helps prevent the film from falling off the printer by using a countdown, minimising waste and improving manual post-processing productivity. This function also reduces the risk of printout damage. Additionally, the printer’s high-capacity 1.6L ink supply unit allows customers to reduce ink replacement frequency, enabling continuous high-volume printing and further improving operational efficiency.
Designed for customers with limited space, the SC-G6030 boasts a compact footprint, making it ideal for small or challenging spaces. Occupying just 1.2 m² (1608mm in width and 745mm in depth), it easily fits into most printing environments and is convenient to transport. Requiring only 3.88 m² of workspace (2118mm by 1834mm), this ensures its versatility in various industrial settings.
“With the SureColor G6030, Epson is once again setting the standard for innovation in the printing industry,” said Derek Tan, head of sales and marketing, Epson Singapore. “This 32-inch Direct-to-Film printer is designed to address the growing demand for efficient, high-quality printing solutions. With its impressive 1.6L ink capacity and minimal maintenance requirements, the SC-G6030 offers businesses a reliable tool for boosting productivity and reducing operational costs. Its intuitive design, including automated maintenance features and versatile print modes, makes it an ideal solution for businesses looking to streamline operations and keep up with the industry’s shift from Direct-to-Garment to Direct-To-Film printing.”

IMF to give specific attention to low-income, vulnerable nations
Such countries include fragile and conflict-affected states and small developing states, especially where debt and financing pressures are mounting, he noted in his statement.
The IMF will continue to support countries in their efforts to promote stability and growth, including through sound macroeconomic policies, domestic resource mobilisation and better governance.
The chair of its International Monetary and Financial Committee said this support will include specific attention to low-income and vulnerable countries.
The committee called for enhanced debt transparency.
“We remain committed to further improving debt restructuring processes, including under the Common Framework, building on the progress already achieved, and advancing the work at the Global Sovereign Debt Roundtable (GSDR) to ensure debt restructurings are delivered in a predictable, timely, orderly and coordinated manner,” he said.
The committee called for enhanced debt transparency from all stakeholders, including private creditors.
“We will advance structural reforms to enable private sector-led investment, increase productivity, safeguard energy security, and elevate medium-term growth prospects,” added Aljadaan.

Germany firms raise investment plans, uncertainty persists: ifo
“The improved order situation in industry has brightened sentiment somewhat. However, as a result of the Iran war, energy costs have risen sharply, and uncertainty among companies has also increased. That runs counter to a stronger economic recovery,” said Timo Wollmershauser, head of forecasts at ifo.
Firms in Germany have raised investment plans, with ifo expectations rising to 0.2 points in March from -3.1 in December 2025.
Industry led gains, especially non-energy sectors, while energy-intensive segments and chemicals remained weak.
Services showed modest optimism, but trade stayed pessimistic.
Rising energy costs and geopolitical uncertainty temper recovery.
The most notable rise in the willingness to invest was in industry. Expectations rose to +0.1 points in March, up from -6.9 points in December. The outlook improved particularly strongly in non-energy-intensive industries, where significantly more companies were planning to expand their investments this year, ifo said in a press release.
In energy-intensive industries, however, the willingness to invest remains subdued. At -9 points in March, the balance remained virtually unchanged from December (-8.9 points). In the chemical industry, investment expectations even declined further, from -15.8 to -16.2 points.
Overall, the corresponding balance in manufacturing rose from -4.1 to +1.2 points. “Companies across all sectors also want to invest more in software. The growing use of artificial intelligence is likely to play a role in that,” said ifo economic expert Lara Zarges.
In trade, companies remain the most pessimistic. The balance of investment expectations stood at -9.6 points in March, virtually unchanged from the level in December. Service providers, on the other hand, confirmed their slightly positive outlook from December: Their investment expectations improved from +1.1 to +2.8 points.
The points for the ifo investment expectations indicate the percentage of companies that intend to increase their investments on balance.
