DuPont Artistri Inks Expands Pigment Inks Portfolio At ITMA 2023
DuPont Artistri will highlight the color of what’s next in digital textile printing, launching the Artistri P1600 direct-to-film (DTF) pigment inks at ITMA 2023 June 8-14 in Milan, Italy.
Artistri inks P1600 provide a vibrant and consistent print on various fabrics. They are the perfect choice for DTF printers. Artistri’s P1600 DTF Ink Set allows for profileing and reduced ink volume, which increases both productivity and efficiency.
Artistri P1600’s versatility is evident in different applications. Cotton, blends, and polyester are all examples of this. Printers can use high-quality inks to print on various clothing materials.
“With Artistri P1600 DTF inks, garment decorators will not only benefit from brightly printed fabrics, but these water-based inks can help contribute to their sustainability initiatives,” Tucker Norton, GM for DuPont Artistri Digital Inks, said. “P1600 inks were formulated using safer by design principles to assess and evaluate any potential environmental risks, are classified as non-hazardous under GHS and are HAPS (hazardous air pollutants) free.”
Visitors can experience the print quality of Artistri inks by collaborating with their customers. This includes live demos on the ColorJet Stand as well the latest design samples for print from BYDi & ROQ, which will be displayed at Artistri.
For direct-to-garment (DTG) and roll-to-roll (RTR) printing, the booth will feature Artistri P5500 pigment DTG inks and a wide RTR inks range including Artistri P2700, P3600 pigment inks and Artistri® S1500 and S2500 dye sublimation inks.
“Digital printing with pigment inks is gaining more space in textile printing due to minimal water usage which means a lower environmental footprint as it doesn’t require steaming and washing steps in the printing process,” Gary Weyman, EMEA business leader for DuPont Artistri Digital Inks, added.
“It is our mission to develop ink innovations that support sustainability in textile printing and, since our pigment inks are granted the OEKO-TEX ECO PASSPORT certification with ZDHC MRSL Conformance Level 3, it helps enable safer work environments for textile printers. DuPont’s new ink developments strengthen our commitment to pigment inks as the sustainable choice and as our vision for the future of digital textile printing.”
