Based on the growth of digital textile printing industry and pigment ink printing, this year Colorjet is displaying the latest technology textile products METRO and FABJET GRAND on pigment inks.
The products will be showcased at ITMA ASIA, Shanghai, China 2018 from 15-19 October. Wider variety, higher durability and a simpler post-treatment process has made pigmented ink the main ink used in textile digital printing today. The pigment inks exhibit the highest degree of durability in colour and light fastness. They are suitable for a wide range of fabrics including mixed and blended fabrics. The FABJET GRAND is ideal for digital textile printing on short-run applications.
The pigment printing process does not need complex steaming and washing steps. Since the pigment ink is printed only on the top layer of the fabric without any chemical bonding, the textile fabric has to be condensed at 150-170 degrees Celsius for a few minutes to fix the pigments. Consequently, the pigment printing process requires significantly less water due to the omitted washing step and this is exactly what the Colorjet’s FABJET GRAND is specialised for.
The FABJET GRAND from is ideal for creating large customised patterns for the home furnishings business. Heavy duty design and a rigid structure make the machine suitable for rigorous shop floor operating conditions. It provides a reliable printing performance, easy handling and cleaning, and the process of printing on pigment inks is very quick and easy.
