DuPont Digital Printing Collaborates With EFI Reggiani to Deliver New Digital Textile Pigment Ink
10 November 2015 - 3:25PM
DuPont Digital Printing (DuPont) and EFI Reggiani (Reggiani) are
pleased to announce the introduction of DuPont™ Artistri® PK2600
digital textile pigment ink for EFI™ Reggiani ReNOIR digital
textile printers. Artistri® PK2600 ink was developed by DuPont for
EFI Reggiani and is designed primarily for cotton textile
roll-to-roll printing that shows performance comparable to reactive
ink results.
“When two market leaders come together to collaborate on a
high-growth area of technology as important as pigment inks for
roll-to-roll printing, it’s a powerful combination,” said Ted Zhi,
textile market segment leader, DuPont Digital Printing. “We
expect the new DuPont™ Artistri® PK2600 inks and the innovative
printing process developed by EFI Reggiani will considerably
enhance the role of pigment inks for high-speed digital printing
applications in the future.”
In addition to cotton textile roll-to-roll printing, Artistri®
PK2600 ink also 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.
Pigment inks offer a streamlined workflow, faster turnaround and
greatly improved environmental attributes that mills and print
specifiers are demanding. Artistri® PK2600 ink provides these
benefits while still offering true color and the soft feel
comparable to reactive printing, excellent fastness and
best-in-class digital printing performance. Because Artistri®
PK2600 ink requires no steaming or washing production steps, job
turnaround is significantly faster while water and chemical usage
and costs are minimized.
“We are proud of the year-long effort with DuPont on this
development, and we are very pleased with the results that will
help customers be more productive, efficient and environmentally
friendly,” said Ambrogio Caccia Dominioni, managing director, EFI
Reggiani. “We are looking forward to demonstrating the
benefits of the ink to textile customers at the upcoming ITMA
exhibition in Italy.”
Manufactured in a DuPont ISO 9001 certified facility in Ft.
Madison, Iowa, DuPont produces and tests every batch of Artistri®
ink to an extremely tight tolerance, which helps ensure its
exceptional color saturation is repeatable, day to day, month to
month and year to year.
