Colorscreen has announced the availability of the GTX Pro Bulk System, which features optimal print height, reduced maintenance times, industrial white printhead design and high speed print mode.
Ink supply system
The cost-saving bulk ink system for high production quantities is available in 1.8 litre and 18 litre containers.
White printhead design
The white ink printhead technology for inside the printhead ink circulation results in less white ink waste.
Reduced maintenance
Less maintenance means no need for morning preparation anymore. The new cap design leads to a considerably shorter purging time. The larger colour sub-tanks are refilled during the printing process. It also features a print reservation function for higher productivity.
Optimal print height
The new sensor technology detects whether the distance from the printhead to the textile is too much and of course also if the textile could touch the printhead. There is also additional sensor for detecting whether the platen is too low, to reduce ink mist and assure print quality. The low sensor function can be disabled if required.
High speed print mode
The white ink printhead design allows the usage of more nozzles than previous models. This allows up to 10% faster printing with special print settings.
Other features

– Pre-treatment: before printing, apply pre-treatment using either a manual or automatic device and then dry the garment using a heat-press, being sure to follow all manufacturer‘s instructions. Pre-treatment is necessary for white ink.
