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.”

Pierpaolo Piccioli seems intent on exploring how far the relationship between sport and tailoring can be pushed. On Thursday, the French fashion house unveiled and launched for sale, on its website and in its boutiques, a collaboration with the NBA, the U.S. basketball league. At the same time, ahead of the Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks, it presented its lookbook for Autumn 2026.
“I believe that sport is one of the most powerful ways of expressing values such as excellence, integrity and respect. On a pitch or court, people from different backgrounds, cultures and abilities come together under the same rules and with the same goals,” said the creative director of the Kering group house, in a press release.
“This shared space creates a heightened sense of connection and focus, reminding us of the discipline, commitment and intensity that define sport at its highest level.”
For the NBA line, that commitment is expressed through key sportswear pieces reinterpreted in materials such as leather, satin, cotton poplin and Japanese denim, and, in addition to black, in the NBA’s historic colours: red, blue and white. The brand adopts sporting codes by marking T-shirts and coach jackets with the number 10, a nod to the address of its headquarters on Avenue George V in Paris, or with a stylised “B” on the back or over the heart.
But sport permeates the Balenciaga universe well beyond this. The brand’s Autumn 2026 proposal, captured in the streets and métro of Paris by photographer Robin Galiegue, explores the potential of imposing tailored pieces, echoing the house’s past designs, such as cashmere capes and neo-gazar coats, which the creative director is working to revive.
Today, Piccioli goes further and pairs them with techwear pieces. Heavy wool coats and oversized leather jackets are worn over a shorts-and-leggings duo crafted from Probody fabric, which offers moisture-wicking, breathability and antibacterial properties. In the age of wellbeing, this trend runs through most of the looks in the Autumn 2026 collection.
The designer has not forgotten the importance of accessories, either. While these creations are designed for training or yoga, they are also accompanied by a new bag model, the 7, patinated crystal jewellery and exceptional shoes from a collaboration with Manolo Blahnik.

Xreal Inc., a Chinese pioneer in smart glasses, is suing Viture Inc. for patent infringement in the US, arguing its rival has unfairly capitalized on Xreal’s extensive research and investment in the segment.
The lawsuit, filed Thursday in federal court in eastern Texas, accuses San Francisco-founded Viture of unlawfully incorporating Xreal’s patented inventions into smart glasses such as the Luma Pro, Luma Ultra, and a high-end pair called The Beast.
Both Xreal and Viture manufacture augmented reality, or AR, glasses that plug into devices like smartphones and laptops, offering viewers a large virtual display for watching movies or handling productivity tasks. Technical specifications like display resolution and field of view- the size of the augmented world you can see at any given time- are often very similar between the two brands.
Their US legal battle comes ahead of what is expected to be a pivotal moment for the segment, with Apple Inc. expected to make its category debut as soon as this year, Bloomberg has reported.
Xreal holds over 800 patent and patent applications worldwide, including dozens in the US and Europe, it said in a statement Thursday announcing the lawsuit. “By comparison, Viture owns approximately or fewer than 70 patent and patent applications globally, with none in the United States or Europe,” it added.
“The lawsuit is not merely about enforcing a single patent,” Xreal said in the statement. “It is about stopping a pattern of intellectual property infringement that undermines the integrity of innovation and endangers continued technological development in this industry.”
Xreal holds more global market share than Viture in the AR eyewear category, according to research firm IDC. But both companies lag far behind Meta Platforms Inc., which has come the closest to mainstream success with its Ray-Ban line of smart glasses.
At the CES technology trade show earlier this month, Xreal unveiled a new entry-level pair of glasses and a co-branded set of glasses developed with Taiwan’s Asustek Computer Inc. It also announced that it’s extending a partnership with Alphabet Inc.’s Google.
Xreal said in the statement that these and other collaborators are “owed confidence that their co-developed products will not also be threatened by infringers attempting to benefit from infringement or undermined by unauthorized usage of IP.”

Designer Soshi Otsuki won himself a huge ovation at the key gala show of Pitti Uomo on Thursday after presenting a brilliant collection that celebrated classic western tailoring, even as it subverted its codes.
A tour de force of draping, cutting, and silhouette, this fall 2026 collection from his brand Soshiotsuki was definitely a major fashion statement.
In a moment of volume in menswear, Otsuki opened the action with a perfectly judged trio of to-die-for double-breasted suits with peak lapels in crepe and fine wool in various shades of grey- cement, mud, or dove.
He cut his jackets to end well below the hip and his trousers were something else. Made with a half-dozen front pleats, they were elephantine but never outrageous. Otsuki is such a great natural tailor, the exaggeration merely added to the elegance.
Soshi is no slouch when it comes to leather either. From his copper-hued leather rock god suit to his cocoon style leather bomber jacket. And, just when you thought he was playing a little too safe, he sent out some fab jeans, so degraded they almost looked moth-eaten. Tokyo street style meets sartorial Italian.
Playing on couture techniques, the designer also whipped up several bias-cut green corduroy blazers and suits marrying Japanese eccentricity and British aplomb.
The show was the latest Italian/Japanese marriage at this edition of Pitti that began with a Sebiro Sanpo tailoring association Japanese suit march inside the Fortezza da Basso, the giant fortress where the salon is staged. Remarkably, Otsuki has never actually studied suiting formally, but he somehow understands it instinctively.
The soundtrack, culled from composer Joe Hisaishi’s soundtrack to Takeshi Kitano’s 2000 gangster movie Brother, featured a beautifully yearning saxophone solo. It would have felt just right for one of Douglas Sirk’s 1950s melodramas starring Rock Hudson. One almost expected Rock to take the final passage.
Presented inside the beautiful Refetterio Santa Maria della Novella, a looming Gothic refectory at the back of the legendary Renaissance Basilica, this was a bravura display.
Altogether, a bases loaded, home run, smash hit collection. One could say it felt like a star is born moment in menswear, except that Soshi Otsuki was already acclaimed. He is the latest winner of the LVMH Prize.
Talk about backing up winning an award with a great fashion statement.
