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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
You’ll need pretreatment equipment, plus a steamer and washer for reactive and acid inks, or a heat fixation unit for disperse ink.
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.
Yes. Our team handles installation and operator training, and Orange O Tec’s 85+ service engineers provide after-sales support across India.
