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.”

Key highlights from Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25) include:
Ralph Lauren Corporation’s 2025 Global Citizenship & Sustainability Report highlights major progress under its Timeless by Design strategy.
In FY25, 98 per cent of products met sustainable material standards, emissions fell 34 per cent from FY20, and initiatives expanded to include denim recycling, repair and vintage services, a fifth Cradle to Cradle Certified product, and the third US cancer centre.
- Meeting at least one of the Company’s sustainable material criteria in 98% of units produced;
- Introducing Ralph Lauren’s fifth Cradle to Cradle Certified product;
- Launching a denim recycling program in North America, piloting a repair service and expanding the Ralph Lauren Vintage offering;
- Achieving a 34% reduction in absolute emissions from the Company’s FY20 baseline;
- Introducing the second Artist in Residence collaboration, featuring Diné (Navajo) artist Zefren-M; and
- Opening the third cancer center in the United States, The Ralph Lauren Center for Cancer Prevention at USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center in Los Angeles.
“Guided by Ralph’s vision of timelessness, our citizenship and sustainability work is fundamentally about supporting the longevity of our business and the resilience of the people and resources that enable it,” said Katie Ioanilli, Chief Global Impact & Communications Officer, Ralph Lauren Corporation. “Over the last three years, we’ve sharpened our focus, deepened our partnerships and evolved how we work to further embed our approach and progress into our business and culture.”
The Company also shared that it will evolve its approach to climate as part of its ongoing commitment to decarbonization. Ralph Lauren will retire its 2040 net-zero goal in favor of setting rolling five-year GHG reduction milestones, with a near-term focus on its current SBTi-validated 2030 goal to reduce emissions by 30% from its FY20 baseline.
This approach is intended to deliver impactful results and drive accountability as Ralph Lauren works together with industry, government and other partners to advance infrastructure and innovation that will support decarbonization at scale. The Company will continue to follow a science-based methodology aligned with the Paris Agreement. It will also continue to support programs like the Future Supplier Initiative — a collective financing mechanism facilitated by The Fashion Pact in partnership with Apparel Impact Institute (Aii), Guidehouse and DBS Bank — to decrease the cost of capital to fund supplier decarbonization efforts.
“Ralph Lauren is setting progressive goals that keep the Company focused on science-based decarbonization methods while also accounting for the maturity of the wider ecosystem and regulatory environment,” said Lewis Perkins, President and CEO, Apparel Impact Institute. “Their investments in Aii are exactly the kind of measurable, on-the-ground efforts that drive meaningful decarbonization outcomes.”
The full FY25 Global Citizenship & Sustainability Report and Supplement are available on the Company’s website, featuring an enhanced reporting framework partially aligned with future regulations.
Ralph Lauren will share updates on its Calendar Year 2025 goals in early 2026. The Company will also detail the next chapter of its Timeless by Design strategy in early 2026, which will build on its work to operationalize key commitments throughout its business.

Lanvin Group announced on Monday that David Chan, its executive president and chief financial officer, has decided to step down from his position, effective October 27 “to pursue new professional opportunities”.
There was no clue as to what those new opportunities are.
The company added that since joining Lanvin Group at its inception, Chan “has been instrumental in strengthening the group’s strategic and financial foundation, advancing its transformation into a global luxury platform, and supporting its continued progress following the company’s NYSE listing”.
And chairman Zhen Huang thanked him on behalf of the board and the team “for his dedication and leadership over the past years. His significant contributions have been pivotal in shaping the group’s strategic direction and transformation efforts. We wish him continued success in his future endeavours. Lanvin Group remains well-positioned to continue delivering growth and creating long-term shareholder value”.
Chan himself said that it’s been a privilege to be part of the “remarkable journey” and that the group is positioned for “sustainable growth”.
Not that he appears to be cutting all ties with he business as the announcement said that the company “has implemented a structured transition plan to ensure continuity across its finance and operations functions. While Mr Chan steps down from his executive role, he may continue to support the company in an advisory capacity”.
But Chan’s departure was clearly not part of a planned succession process as the company said it will “provide further updates regarding the appointment of a successor in due course”.
Lanvin Group owns its eponymous brand as well as Wolford, Sergio Rossi, St John and Caruso, but has struggled in recent periods.
Only last month it said that for the first half of 2025, revenue fell 22% to €133 million and the Lanvin label saw its sales falling 40%. Gross profit dropped by 26.8% to €71.9 million, and gross operating losses deepened. It blamed ongoing weakness in the global luxury market, lower wholesale sales in EMEA, and the Group’s strategic pivot to direct-to-consumer sales.
Its brand story was one of declines almost across the board, although St John was relatively stable.
In its most recent full-year results reported in February, it had said total company revenue had dropped by 23% to €328.6 million. Lanvin revenue was down 26% at €82.7 million with Wolford down 30% at €87.9 million. St John fell 12% to €79 million, Sergio Rossi fell 30% to €41.9 million and Caruso dropped 7% to €37 million.
The meant gross profit decreased to €183 million, reflecting a margin of 56%, compared to €251 million in 2023 with a margin of 59%.
