    Quick answer

    What Makes the CO80-600DK Our Compact Desktop Sock Printer?

    The CO80-600DK is Colorido’s compact desktop digital Socks Printer at 1250×570×580 mm. Spiral printing lays full-color artwork around seamless tubular goods in polyester, cotton, wool and nylon — built for sampling, prototyping and low-volume personalized production on a desk or small workbench.

    • Compact desktop footprint

      At 1250×570×580 mm, the body sits on a desk or compact workbench — practical for studios, gift shops and retail counters with limited floor space.

    • 20–30 pairs per hour

      Reference output of 20–30 pairs/hour suits sampling, prototyping and personalized orders that change design often. Actual output varies with print mode, artwork, material and workflow.

    • Sharp 720×600 DPI output

      Dual Epson I1600 print heads with Neostampa RIP reproduce fine lines, gradients and photographic detail for logos, pet faces and fashion artwork.

    • Multi-material compatibility

      Supports cotton, polyester, silk and wool with disperse, acid and reactive ink routes in 4-color or 8-color configurations.

    CO80-600DK Desktop Sock Printer

    The CO80-600DK Socks Printer uses spiral (360°) printing to place full-color designs on seamless tubular goods. Its 1250×570×580 mm footprint fits a desk or small workbench, so design studios, startups and custom-order workshops can sample and produce without a factory floor.

    Material-matched ink routes — disperse for polyester, reactive for cotton, acid for wool, nylon and silk — run in 4-color or 8-color setups. Beyond socks, the same rotary platform can print ice sleeves and wrist guards. For finished custom printed socks ordered from Colorido, there is no MOQ (1 pair minimum); samples typically ship in 3–5 days and bulk in 15–25 days after sample confirmation.

    CO80-600DK Product Features

    Six practical capabilities that bring digital sock printing to the desktop — for designers, startups, gift shops and custom-order workshops.

    Compact Desktop Footprint

    1250×570×580 mm sits on a desk or compact workbench — suited to studios and retail spaces where a floor-standing multi-roller Socks Printer would not fit.

    Accessible Entry Point

    A desk-sized Socks Printer lowers the space barrier for startup teams and new customization businesses that want in-house sampling and short-run production.

    Reliable Print Quality

    Equipped with dual Epson I1600 print heads at 720×600 DPI for crisp patterns, smooth gradients and rich color on tubular blanks.

    Multi-Material Compatibility

    Works with cotton, polyester, silk and wool, supported by disperse, acid and reactive ink routes.

    Straightforward Operation

    Neostampa RIP software and an Ethernet connection keep file preparation and machine control organized for daily use.

    Flexible Small-Batch Production

    Reference output of 20–30 pairs/hour matches sampling and personalized orders with frequent design changes — including photo, pet, name and logo socks.

    Machine structure and core systems

    Inside the CO80-600DK: Structure & Core Systems

    From the dual print heads to the moisturizing and heating systems, each part supports stable desktop sock printing.

    Dual Epson I1600 print heads

    Epson I1600 Print Heads

    The desktop Socks Printer uses two Epson I1600 print heads for speed and precision. Fine droplet placement supports clear detail and rich color for personalized and small-batch sock production.

    • Clear details: Fine droplet placement reproduces delicate patterns and photographic detail.
    • Efficient desktop output: Dual heads keep sample and POD runs productive within a compact footprint.

    High-precision linear motion

    Industrial Square Rail

    The Socks Printer uses industrial-grade square guide rails to keep travel stable at speed, helping reduce print deviation and keep edges sharp across the full print length.

    • Higher printing accuracy: Stable linear travel keeps droplet placement repeatable across the full print length.
    • Sharp patterns without misalignment: Consistent guidance helps avoid the drift that softens edges on longer runs.

    Smooth loading and unloading

    Aluminum Alloy Roller

    The aluminum alloy roller has a smooth surface and durable build, so socks load and unload easily while supporting daily continuous printing at the standard 82 mm diameter.

    • Easy handling (82 mm): Smooth surface simplifies sock loading and unloading at the standard 82 mm roller diameter.
    • Daily reliability: Durable alloy construction stands up to continuous small-batch production.

    Nozzle moisture protection

    Moisturizing Component

    The Socks Printer includes a print-head moisturizing system that keeps nozzles moist when idle, helping reduce ink drying and nozzle clogging between runs.

    • Less clogging: Moisturizing keeps nozzles ready for the next run.
    • Reliable start-up: Less drying means fewer failed first prints after idle periods.

    Stable cool-weather printing

    Nozzle Heating

    The Socks Printer includes a print-head heating system that helps keep ink at a workable temperature in cool workshops, reducing poor flow from low temperature and supporting more stable printing.

    • Steady ink flow: Heated nozzles help keep ink viscosity consistent in cold conditions.
    • More stable printing: Cool environments are less likely to degrade print quality.

    CO80-600DK Questions, Answered

    Common questions about desktop sock printing, materials, ink, software and configuration — then send your requirements for a recommendation. No list prices on this page; request a quote for your setup.

    A desktop sock printer is a compact digital Socks Printer that prints customized graphics directly onto socks. Unlike flat panel printing, the CO80-600DK works as a 360° seamless digital Socks Printer, printing around the sock for continuous patterns, photos, logos and personalized designs. Its compact structure suits businesses that need flexible sock customization without a large production line.

    The CO80-600DK is aimed at startups, POD businesses, custom gift companies, design studios and small sock printing workshops that handle personalized designs and small-batch orders. Higher continuous volume may call for a larger production Socks Printer such as the twin- or four-roller models.

    Typical jobs include photo socks, pet-face socks (including multiple pets on one pair when the layout is confirmed before printing), logo socks, fashion socks, sports designs, promotional socks and personalized gift socks. As a 360° seamless digital Socks Printer, it supports graphics that continue around the sock rather than sitting in a small flat panel.

    Yes. Print-on-demand orders often mean many designs at small quantities. Instead of stocking large runs of one design, you can organize production around individual orders — pet socks, photo socks, personalized gifts or branded designs. The CO80-600DK is positioned for that flexible custom sock production. If you prefer Colorido to print finished socks for you, there is no MOQ (1 pair minimum), with samples in 3–5 days and bulk in 15–25 days after sample confirmation.

    Digital sock printing normally needs design software, RIP software and machine control software. The RIP stage processes artwork and manages print data before it is sent to the Socks Printer. The CO80-600DK uses Neostampa RIP software; Ningbo Colorido provides the matching software configuration and operation guidance for the machine.

    A complete sock printing workflow usually needs more than the Socks Printer alone. After digital printing, socks need an appropriate color-fixation process for the material and ink system in use. That may mean additional post-printing equipment. Recommended finishing gear should be selected together with the Socks Printer for your materials.

    Standard CMYK textile printing needs a compatible white or light sock blank, because CMYK ink does not create an opaque white underbase over black fabric.

    The quotation depends on the confirmed print-head and color setup, roller sizes and quantities, ink route, finishing equipment, software license, spare-parts scope, training, packing, shipping and destination requirements. We do not publish list prices here — send your configuration for a written quote.

    No. A separate computer is required to operate the Socks Printer and run Neostampa RIP software. The machine connects via an Ethernet port. A standard Windows PC with a stable network connection is enough — high-end specifications are not required.

    Depending on the sock material, you may need the following after-treatment equipment:

    • Industrial steamer — for cotton socks; steam fixes the reactive ink. Capacity approx. 45 pairs at one time.
    • Rotary socks oven — for polyester socks; heat fixes the sublimation ink. One oven can serve 4–5 Socks Printers.
    • Industrial washing machine — to wash off unfixed ink after printing.
    • Industrial dryer / dehydrator — to dry socks after washing.

    For polyester socks, a rotary oven is enough. For cotton socks, a steamer, washing machine and dryer are all required.
