DuPont develops ink for Reggiani textile printer

DuPont has launched a new ink for the EFI Reggiani Renoir digital textile printers.

The Artistri PK2600 is a pigment ink designed primarily for cotton textile roll-to-roll printing that, according to EFI, shows performance comparable to reactive ink results. EFI also says that the ink has been shown to work well on a number of fabrics that cannot be printed with reactive inks including polyesters, viscose, cotton/polyester blends and non-woven materials.

There’s no need for steaming or washing production steps so job turnaround should be reasonably fast while water and chemical usage and costs are minimised.

The ink will be demonstrated at the ITMA show in Milan this week.

You can license the articles from Printing and Manufacturing Journal to reproduce in other publications. I generally charge around £150 per article but I’m open to discussing this for each title, particularly for publishers that want to use multiple stories. I can provide high res versions of images for print publications.

I’m used to working with overseas publishers and am registered for VAT with the UK’s HMRC tax authority but obviously won’t charge VAT to companies outside the UK. You can find further details and a licensing form from this page, or just contact me directly here.
