Los Alamitos, CA (Feb. 15, 2023)<\/em> \u2014 As one of the first online print-on-demand manufacturers, Gotham City Online needed a scalable printing solution to keep up with their growing business and increasing customer orders. As both business needs and technology evolved, Gotham City turned to Epson direct-to-garment (DTG) solutions to scale and streamline their apparel business. Today, Gotham City has installed a fleet of Epson SureColor\u00ae F2100 and SureColor F3070 DTG printers to produce an assortment of textile products. As a result, they have experienced a more efficient workflow along with new opportunities for customization, allowing for an expanded product offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe next-generation technology offered in the SureColor F2100, and then again in the SureColor F3070 industrial series, really blew our minds,\u201d said David Topkins, co-founder, Gotham City Online. \u201cThe SureColor F3070 includes compelling features, such as increased print speed, enhanced functionality, and sensitivity of the platen height. Due to its speed, we\u2019ve seen better ROI with orders that require larger images.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the SureColor F3070 industrial features, Gotham City has experienced an increase in productivity with larger-sized garments and garments with big images. In addition, thicker apparel, such as sweatshirts, have benefited due to the new platen height sensor in the SureColor F3070, making printing on a sweatshirt pocket easier than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Epson DTG printers have been integrated into the manufacturer\u2019s job pull automation system to further streamline workflow, increase efficiency and have provided a scalable solution. \u201cOpening up the SDK, allowing us to really integrate, control and tie our systems into controlling the equipment made a huge difference,\u201d said Jonathan Garriss, CEO of Gotham City Online<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Topkins continued, \u201cEpson printers have allowed us to scale up the business as we needed to. The printers are set up in a pod configuration and that helps us to increase production as needed during peak season and when we have a surge in demand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gotham City\u2019s team also experienced benefits with the bulk ink tanks on the SureColor F3070 and simple maintenance features. \u201cThe SureColor F3070 allows us to schedule maintenance, so we can minimize the negative impact to our production,\u201d said Garriss. \u201cIt\u2019s not constantly going down; we don\u2019t have the Epson repair person here all the time. However, it\u2019s also nice having that support network from Epson, having that point of contact and them controlling the quality from beginning to end, whether it\u2019s through the ink, to the parts, to cleaning kits, it is nice to have a streamlined solution.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe advances that Epson has made enable us to keep our business running,\u201d says Topkins. \u201cWe have been happy with Epson products \u2013 the machines, consumables and customer service.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Epson DTG printers were created to help companies build reliable, streamlined businesses for printing custom content,\u201d said Tim Check, senior product manager, Professional Imaging, Epson America, Inc. \u201cWe are pleased that Gotham City has used our DTG technology to scale their business to meet increasing demands and deliver outstanding products.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
