Epson C13S210076 SureColor Medium Platen Grip Pad

Overview :

The Epson C13S210076 is a commercial-grade medium platen grip pad cover engineered for high-volume direct-to-garment (DTG) print workflows. Designed specifically for textile print shops and production fulfillment centers, this component eliminates the production bottlenecks caused by shifting fabrics during high-speed printing cycles. It resolves the common operational delays of manual garment hooping by introducing a specialized high-friction surface that anchors textiles firmly to the platen substrate.

Constructed from a premium textured polymer, this grip pad adheres directly to the top surface of the printer's medium-sized garment platen. It enables seamless, hoop-free printing, which accelerates clothing loading speeds and minimizes physical fabrication stretching or registration distortion on active print paths. The pad design maintains uniform surface tension, ensuring precise drop-on-demand ink placement across varying textile weights from thin synthetic blends to thick ring-spun cotton.

The C13S210076 grip pad is optimized for deployment alongside the Epson SureColor F2100 and F3000 series commercial DTG printers utilizing UltraChrome DG ink configurations. It functions as a direct replaceable wear item to sustain long-term operational accuracy without damaging delicate garment fibers. Note that this grip pad requires proper maintenance using the official Epson grip pad tool and should not be used with solvent-based or UV-curable textile printing hardware.
