Polyester Mesh Belt Brings New Momentum to Epson i3200 Printing Systems

Manufacturers in the digital printing sector are introducing polyester mesh belts into Epson i3200 production lines, opening new possibilities for industrial and textile applications. The move follows months of testing by equipment suppliers who report clear gains in stability, material handling, and print consistency.

The Epson i3200 printhead has become a popular choice for mid-range industrial printers thanks to its balanced output and reliable droplet control. Until recently, many producers avoided polyester mesh belts because of concerns about tension, ink absorption, and the risk of deformation during high-speed runs. New engineering improvements are now pushing the material into mainstream use.

Technical teams say the latest generation of polyester mesh belts offers better heat resistance and smoother surface treatment. These updates help the i3200 maintain accurate nozzle firing while supporting a steady transport path for flexible substrates. Combined with upgraded pigment and UV ink formulations, print clarity on synthetic materials has seen a noticeable jump.

Several Asian OEMs confirm that early production units equipped with polyester mesh belts show fewer alignment errors and lower maintenance demands. Companies in packaging, filtration, and lightweight textile markets say the change cuts waste and improves long-print reliability.

Industry analysts point out that this shift reflects a broader push toward diversified materials in inkjet manufacturing. With more printers adopting polyester mesh belts for i3200 engines, the market is expected to see new models built specifically for demanding synthetic applications.
