FabPro 1i is a digital fabric printing machine built for textile manufacturers who need reliable, high-quality output across a wide range of fabrics. With 8 Ricoh Gen 6 industrial printheads, an 8-colour ink setup and automated maintenance, it prints vibrant designs directly onto fabric at up to 110 linear metres an hour.

Fabric Compatibility and Post-Printing Process

FabPro 1i prints on fabrics from 30 to 450 gsm, from lightweight silk to heavier furnishing fabrics. Each fabric needs the right ink and the right finishing process for the colour to fix permanently.

Post-Printing Process: As per ink type

Fabric should be pretreated before printing for the best colour yield and sharpness.

Production Output and Print Quality on a Digital Fabric Printing Machine

FabPro 1i prints at up to 80 lm/hr in standard mode and up to 110 lm/hr at maximum speed.

Speed and quality depend on the print mode. Bi-directional printing is faster and suits most production. Single-direction printing is slower but gives the cleanest results on fine detail and gradients. Fabric type matters too: dense, absorbent fabrics and dark designs often need slower modes for even coverage. With 8 colours (CMYK plus Orange, Red, Blue and Green) and up to 600 × 900 dpi resolution, FabPro 1i reproduces bright, saturated shades across all supported fabrics.

Production Setup and Installation

FabPro 1i takes rolls up to 400 mm in diameter and 200 kg, with a maximum media width of 1,850 mm. A 15-litre ink tank supports long runs without frequent refills, and the machine runs on neoStampa RIP software.

Before installation, plan for:

  • Floor space for the machine, roll loading, operator access and fabric storage

  • Stable power with voltage stabilisation and backup

  • Auxiliary equipment: pretreatment before printing, plus a steamer and washer for reactive and acid inks, or heat fixation for disperse

  • A controlled print room with stable temperature and humidity and minimal dust

Our team shares exact dimensions and power requirements during site planning.

Printhead Maintenance and Downtime Prevention

FabPro 1i is built to reduce the downtime that slows most textile printers:

  • Sensor-based head crash protection detects fabric obstructions and protects the Ricoh Gen 6 heads from damage

  • Real-time wrinkle control keeps fabric flat and feeding smoothly, even on delicate fabrics

  • Automated capping and wiping keeps nozzles moist and clean between jobs

  • One-touch maintenance makes routine cleaning quick and simple

  • An efficient ink supply keeps ink flow steady on long runs

For daily operation, run a nozzle check at the start of each shift, use the one-touch cleaning when nozzles drop out, and keep the print belt clean.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What is a digital fabric printing machine?

    A digital fabric printing machine prints designs directly onto fabric from a digital file, without screens. FabPro 1i uses 8 Ricoh Gen 6 industrial printheads to print on cotton, linen, silk, nylon, polyester and blends.

  2. What is the price of FabPro 1i?

    The price depends on configuration and the auxiliary equipment you need. Contact our team for a quote based on your fabric range and production volume.

  3. What does it cost to run?

    Running cost includes ink, fabric pretreatment, post-processing (steaming, washing or heat fixation), power and labour. Ink use varies with design coverage and print mode, so dark, full-coverage designs cost more per metre than light ones.

  4. What other equipment do I need?

    You’ll need pretreatment equipment, plus a steamer and washer for reactive and acid inks, or a heat fixation unit for disperse ink.

  5. What maintenance does FabPro 1i need?

    Automated capping, wiping and one-touch maintenance handle most routine care. Operators should run a nozzle check every shift and keep the print belt clean.

  6. Does Orange O Tec provide installation and training?

    Yes. Our team handles installation and operator training, and Orange O Tec’s 85+ service engineers provide after-sales support across India.

  7. Which RIP software does FabPro 1i use?
