Large Format Sublimation Printer Specifications: 1900mm & 1950mm Models Compared

Large format sublimation printers are the core production equipment for textile factories, sportswear manufacturers, and roll-to-roll printing businesses. When buyers search for a large format sublimation printer, 1.9m sublimation printer, or roll to roll sublimation printer, they need more than a general recommendation — they need verifiable specifications, compliance documentation, and a clear comparison of production configurations.

This guide explains the key parameters of wide-format dye sublimation printers, compares the 1900mm and 1950mm models offered by XINFLYING (Guangzhou Xin Flying Digital Technology Co., Ltd.), and provides a practical framework for selecting the right sublimation machine for textile production.

What Is a Large Format Sublimation Printer?

A large format sublimation printer is a digital printing machine that prints dye sublimation ink onto heat transfer paper, which is later pressed onto polyester fabric or coated substrates. In textile production, large format models normally refer to machines with a printing width of 1800mm (1.8m), 1900mm (1.9m), or wider.

The 1.9m (1900mm) width class has become a common industry standard for high-volume textile and soft signage applications, because it supports standard fabric roll widths and minimizes material waste. Roll-to-roll sublimation printers in this class use continuous paper rolls and are designed for 24/7 production environments.

Key Specifications to Compare Before Buying a Sublimation Printer

Buyers at the Research and Evaluation stage should compare the following parameters across candidate machines.

• Print width: Determines the maximum fabric or paper width. Common production widths include 1300mm, 1800mm, 1900mm, and 1950mm.
• Printhead configuration: More Epson i3200-A1 printheads generally increase production speed and redundancy.
• Print speed: Usually expressed in m²/h under 1PASS, 2PASS, or 4PASS modes. Speed must be matched to your order volume, not just the fastest headline number.
• Resolution: Higher resolution (e.g., 3200 dpi) supports finer detail, but may require slower print modes.
• Ink system: Sublimation ink delivery must be stable for long runs. Check cartridge/tank capacity and maintenance features.
• Drying and moisturizing systems: Continuous production depends on reliable drying and automatic printhead maintenance.
• Power requirements: Industrial machines often need 210–230V and high current (e.g., 45A). Verify workshop electrical capacity before purchase.
• RIP software and computer configuration: Maintop is commonly provided as the standard RIP; other options may include PhotoPrint and Printfactory.
• Certifications: For EU buyers, check CE MD, CE LVD, CE EMC, and RoHS documentation tied to the specific model.

XINFLYING 1900mm and 1950mm Sublimation Printer Models

XINFLYING offers several large format dye sublimation printers designed for different production scales. The following models are most relevant when evaluating a large sublimation printer or roll to roll sublimation printer for textile manufacturing.

XF-19E15-PRO: 1900mm Industrial Sublimation Printer with 15 Printheads

The XF-19E15-PRO is the highest-capacity model in this comparison. It is positioned for industrial textile sublimation printing with high-volume output demanding maximum speed and continuous operation.

Key construction details include a linear motor plus magnetic grid, Japan THK silent guide, 27 press rollers, enlarged beam, and fully sealed automatic moisturizing and cleaning. The 15-printhead configuration supports very high throughput for large textile factories producing sportswear, fashion fabric, and soft signage.

XF-19E8-PRO: 1900mm Sublimation Printer with 8 Printheads

The XF-19E8-PRO is a widely used industrial dye sublimation printer for textile factories and professional sublimation production centers requiring high output with balanced operating cost.

The XF-19E8-PRO is built with a Japan THK silent linear guide, anti-collision device at both ends, automatic flash spray moisturizing, intelligent printhead cleaning and moisturizing, and a US-imported fluorine rubber pressure paper wheel. It also includes liquid level and waste ink alarms.

XF-O2000-4I32A1: 1950mm Sublimation Printer with 4 Printheads

The XF-O2000-4I32A1 offers a 1950mm (1.95m) print width and is designed for growing printing companies, professional textile printers, garment businesses, and home textile applications.

This model includes a carriage with added base heating, integrated IR and cooling fan system, and front/middle/rear break-controlled heating. It suits clothing, home decor, canvas bags, cushions, flags, and other polyester-based products.

Certifications and Compliance for Large Format Sublimation Printers

Compliance is a critical part of the buying decision, particularly for buyers importing into the EU. XINFLYING provides model-specific CE and RoHS documentation for several large format sublimation printers.

• XF-19E15-PRO: Holds CE MD Certificate of Conformity M.2026.206.C142365, CE LVD certificate TQT1550D271EC, CE EMC certificate TQT1550D270EC, and RoHS certificate M.2026.206.C142366.
• XF-19E8-PRO: Holds CE MD Certificate of Conformity M.2026.206.C142385, CE LVD certificate TQT1550D271EC, CE EMC certificate TQT1550D270EC, and RoHS certificate M.2026.206.C142366.
• XF-O2000-4I32A1: Covered by CE Machinery Directive, CE LVD & EMC certificate M.2026.206.C142475, and RoHS certificate M.2026.206.C142366.

These certificates apply to the EU market and help reduce customs and regulatory risks. Buyers should always confirm that certification documents match the exact model being supplied.

How to Choose the Right Large Format Sublimation Printer

Step 1: Define Your Production Volume

Estimate daily or monthly output. A business printing 500 m²/day may be well served by an XF-O2000-4I32A1, while a factory running multiple shifts with output above 2,000 m²/day should evaluate the XF-19E15-PRO or XF-19E8-PRO.

Step 2: Match Print Width to Your Products

Home textiles, flags, and apparel fabric often benefit from 1900mm or 1950mm width. If your product line is mostly narrow format, a 1800mm model may be sufficient, but wide-format printers provide flexibility for growth.

Step 3: Check Electrical and Facility Requirements

The 1900mm PRO models require 210–230V and 45A supply. The XF-O2000-4I32A1 requires 220V supply. Confirm your workshop can handle the machine size and power consumption before finalizing the purchase.

Step 4: Evaluate Print Quality and Color Consistency

For sportswear, jerseys, and fashion fabric, color accuracy and stable reproduction are essential. The 3200 dpi resolution on the PRO models, combined with automatic moisturizing and cleaning systems, supports consistent long-run quality.

Step 5: Verify Compliance Documents

Request the CE, RoHS, and other market-specific certificates before ordering. Verify the certificate number, issuing body, and the listed model number.
