September 2024 : The world of Italian leather goods has always been synonymous with craftsmanship, quality and tradition.

For centuries, Italian artisans have been working leather with passion, creating products that have conquered international markets.

However, the leather goods industry today is no longer limited to the use of traditional techniques, but embraces the new opportunities offered by digital.

In this context of evolution and innovation, printing on leather has become an increasingly sought-after technique, capable of giving personality, creativity and uniqueness to every single piece.

Among the protagonists of this revolution, Epson stands out for its advanced technology and its continuous innovation in the field of direct printing on fabric and special media.

Thanks to its innovative solutions, the company provides the leather goods industries with advanced tools to meet the needs of a dynamic and competitive market, with high quality standards, especially in the luxury brand sector.

Epson Mona Lisa: A Revolution In Leather Printing

The Epson Monna Lisa range of printers represents the evolution of industrial digital printing technology, becoming a reference standard for high-quality printing in the fashion, accessories and sportswear sectors.

Not only does this printer deliver flawless results, but it also offers extraordinary flexibility and speed, adapting to the different production needs of leather artisans.

Unsurpassed Quality

The Mona Lisa ML-16000 and ML-32000 printers, the two Epson models dedicated to printing on leather, use water-based acid inks, which allow you to print on any type of natural leather, from the simplest designs to the most complex patterns.

The presence of up to 16 colors, depending on the configuration, returns a very wide color space, allowing you to obtain a rich spectrum of details and nuances.

The result? Unsurpassed quality, fundamental for those who work in a sector where precision and reliability are essential.

PrecisionCore: The Key to Innovation

At the heart of Epson Mona Lisa's technology is the latest-generation Epson PrecisionCore printhead, while the use of Epson Genesta inks, recognised and certified by international bodies such as OEKO-TEX®, bluesign® and ECOCERT, guarantees sustainable printing, in compliance with the strictest environmental standards.

By developing specialized color management software, Epson offers an integrated ecosystem that enables leather goods manufacturers to achieve innovative, high-quality results.

This integrated approach not only makes the production process more efficient, but also opens up new creative opportunities for designers, allowing them to explore color combinations and designs that are impossible to achieve with traditional techniques, all while relying on a single source.

Innovation And Tradition: A Winning Combination

In an industry that is constantly changing, Epson Mona Lisa printers represent a technological revolution.

With their flexibility, precision and attention to sustainability, they allow leather artisans to explore new design possibilities, without compromising the quality that has always distinguished Italian products.

Epson thus confirms itself as a trusted partner for anyone wishing to promote the excellence of leather goods globally, combining tradition and innovation.
