Industrial Digital Dye-Sublimation Printing for Modern Textile & Apparel Production

The ZOOMJET SM Series (SM1601 / SM1801 / SM3201) is an industrial-grade digital dye-sublimation printer platform engineered for textile manufacturers, sportswear producers, fashion brands, and print service providers. Designed for high-volume paper transfer printing, the ZOOMJET SM series delivers vivid colors, fine photographic gradients, and rich solid blacks at an remarkably low cost-per-square-metre.

Available in three print widths—1.6m (SM1601), 1.8m (SM1801), and grand-format 3.2m (SM3201)—this series provides the exact media capacity needed for producing sports uniforms, promotional flags, trade show fabric displays, and home decor textiles.

Key Features & Benefits

• Precision Epson Industrial Printhead Technology

  Select between Epson XP600 printheads for economical daily operation or Epson i3200 printheads for maximum throughput and ultra-high image resolution. Experience smooth color transitions and sharp vector details across every job.

• Multi-Zone Smart Thermal Management

  Features independently controlled Pre-Heater, Platen Heater, and Post-Heater zones combined with an external infrared heating bar and drying fan assembly. This system rapidly dries high-density sublimation inks on lightweight transfer paper before reaching the take-up reel.

• Heavy-Duty Frame & Precision Guide Rails

  Constructed on a reinforced steel chassis with quiet linear guide rails to eliminate carriage vibration during high-speed passes, ensuring accurate dot placement across the entire print width.

• Motorized Media Feed & Take-Up System

  Heavy-duty automatic tension control system keeps transfer paper feeding evenly without buckling, cockling, or skewing during long continuous print runs.

• Automated Nozzle Capping & Cleaning Station

  The integrated automated maintenance station keeps printhead nozzles hydrated and clear during idle hours, extending printhead longevity and minimizing daily manual upkeep.

• Ecological & Wash-Durable Sublimation Inks

  Uses high-density dye-sublimation inks that gasify deeply into polyester fibers under heat pressing. The finished garments maintain fabric breathability and elasticity while resisting fading, cracking, or peeling through repeated washing.

Applications & Compatible Substrates

• Popular Applications: Custom sportswear, soccer/rugby/basketball jerseys, athletic activewear, school sports kits, fabric event banners, promotional flags, trade show backdrops, cushion covers, mousepads, and coated ceramic/hard substrates.

• Compatible Substrates: Dye-Sublimation Transfer Paper, 100% Polyester Fabrics (Mesh, Interlock, Spandex, Lycra, Satin, Canvas), Poly-Blends, and Polyester-Coated Hard Substrates.
