STS Inks to Debut 64-Inch Dual-Head Mutoh DTF Printer at the ISA International Sign Expo 2022
Printer Unveiling Marks Expansion of Company’s Growing Modular DTF Program; Products Will Be On Display at ISA Booth #2641 May 4-6, 2022
BOCA RATON, Fla. – STS Inks, a global leader in the wide format, industrial and household inkjet markets, announced today that it will debut a 64-inch dual-head Mutoh DTF printer at the annual ISA International Sign Expo 2022, taking place in Atlanta, GA, May 4-6, 2022. Complemented by a 44-Inch Oven Shaker Unit, the new printer and STS Inks’ expanding modular DTF Program will be on display at booth #2641.
STS Inks DTF System, which is the only one of its kind, was created to make it easy and cost-effective to quickly create custom t-shirts. In 2021, the company launched its revolutionary Direct-to-Film modular system. Mutoh is a top-selling manufacturer wide format printers and the STS program was created in partnership.
While the centerpiece of the STS Inks DTF system is a compact printer that measures 24” and is built to fit onto a table-top or rolling stand in any size print shop, the new STS/MUTOH XPJ 1682D 64” DTF Printer has been added to the program to fill a gap in the marketplace. The dual-head staggered design allows for extremely fast print speeds, smooth gradations, and high-quality printing with reduced resolution.
The new STS/MUTOH printer has SAI’s Flexi DTF Pro Edition RIP Software, bundled with Flexi DTF Pro Editor. The XPJ-1682D features automatic bi-directional alignments and a user-friendly touch screen. It also has enhanced LED lighting and a media feed flange which allows users to quickly load media and exchange multiple rolls. These features make it easier to use and more user-friendly, while still delivering high-quality output and high production. The XPJ-1682D is paired with STS Inks’ DTF ink, which offers users excellent color gamut and outstanding durability.
“We’re excited to give attendees at ISA a first-look at the STS/MUTOH XPJ 1682D 64” DTF Printer and have the opportunity to try out our entire DTF program,” said Shahar Turgeman, who founded STS Inks in 1999. “We have had an incredible response to the modular DTF system since its launch and we look forward to continuing to expand our DTF options and capabilities to meet the growing needs of the industry.”
DTF offers many advantages over traditional DTG (Direct to Garment) technology. This is limited to pre-treated cotton fabrics and wears much faster. DTF can print onto cotton, silk, nylon, denim, nylon and other fabrics. You can choose from a matte or glossy finishing and it works on both dark and white textiles. DTF doesn’t require any cutting or weeding. It creates sharp edges and images and requires no technical printing knowledge.
STS Inks created its DTF packages and programs in order to make it easier than the alternatives currently available. The company spent an enormous amount of time and effort researching pairing components that were easy to set up and use right out the box. It has created a user experience that is completely free from aggravation. This is unlike equipment and systems which often require multiple, frustrating calibrations. STS Inks also offers unmatched service and reliability, particularly when compared to the difficulty of repairing broken printers or printers that have been converted or refurbished from overseas. This is because parts and technicians are often not readily available.
STS Inks launched the industry’s first-ever fluorescent inks for DTF printing in December 2021. New inks were introduced by STS Inks to print true-to-life DTF photos. They include light magenta DTF inks and light cyan DTFinks. They offer more accurate colors and have improved gradients. STS Inks is a well-known brand for high quality inks that are compatible with large format printers of all major brands. STS Inks DTF Inks are high-quality and offer a wide color gamut, outstanding color saturation and excellent color density. They can also be printed head-safe with nano pigment + encapsulated resin.
STS Inks have a non-toxic, environmentally-friendly formula that is designed for outstanding performance and great wash speed. The inks also maintain a consistent color from batch to batch. STS Inks come in CMYK, white, and other colors. They are made in the USA and go through rigorous testing.
