Designed by the engineering company F.lli Robustelli, the Monna Lisa Evo Tre features innovative and exclusive Epson PrecisionCore proprietary printing technology. Its flexibility provides unprecedented higher productivity quality and reliability – features that make the new printer one of the most versatile digital textile printers on the market.
One of the most important qualities of the new Monna Lisa is its flexibility. It provides users with a single printer to meet a variety of different production needs. It can print on any type of fabric from the most basic to the most complex designs with the highest quality, perfect speed and repeatability. This means a drastically reduced production time and in-line sampling with production. These are crucial to satisfy a demanding market, which is constantly looking for innovation, from the high-fashion sector to the entire textile and clothing sector.
These unique characteristics have made the Monna Lisa the best solution for all printing suppliers; working with the best-known fashion, fast fashion and high fashion brands. Monna Lisa Evo Tre is the heart of a high-tech Total Solution – a complete and seamlessly integrated system that sees the three companies working together to offer maximum guarantees and assistance throughout the production cycle. This means that there is a single supplier for all components; the print head, inks, before and after treatment chemical agents, and engineering support.
Epson proprietary printing technology PrecisionCore makes the difference
The heart of Epson PrecisionCore technology is the latest generation printing chip; the Micro Thin Film Piezo (MicroTFP) designed to offer customers the highest performance and value. The development of micron thick piezo-electric crystals; which are a hundredth of a human hair thick, allowed the maximum ink supply from the more compact print engine; resulting in a higher density of the print nozzles.
