SPGPrints launches its new range of NEBULA Acid HD (High Density) inks at Febratex 2016, Aug. 9-12, Parque Vila Germanica, Blumenau, Santa Caterina, Brazil. The exhibition also marks the first showing in the Americas of the JAVELIN digital inkjet printer for companies printing up to two million meters of textiles annually.
The NEBULA Acid HD inks, which can be used with any printer using Kyocera printheads, are a new formulation, developed and produced by SPGPrints, offering increased color depth and improved runnability. The new ink range is ideal for Polyamide (PA) Lycra swimwear, luxury silk items like fashion scarves and neckties and wools.
NEBULA Acid HD inks meet all industry standards for color and water-fastness, and the specifications for all major swimwear manufacturers. NEBULA Acid HD inks will be available from September 2016, initially in CMYK, orange, red, blue and grey.
“The swimwear industry puts high demands on textile printers with requirements for high performance, enduring bright colors, and complex designs with increasingly fine detail,” Jos Notermans, commercial manager digital textiles, SPGPrints, said. “NEBULA Acid HD inks rise to that challenge, setting a new benchmark for inks for active-wear.”
Designed for annual production up to two million meters, the JAVELIN printer features the same innovative Archer printhead technology used in the recently launched, high-volume PIKE printer, which won the 2016 EDP1 Award for Best Industrial Textile Solution. PIKE’s nozzle plates are 4mm from the substrate, compared with the more usual 1.5mm nozzle-fabric distance. This means a wider range of substrates can be run, and the chance of print head damage is reduced. Using only six colors, Archer technology enables a wider gamut than the HD-gamut of other digital textile printing solutions.
JAVELIN is ideal for companies wanting to take the first step into digital textile printing, or with a need to supplement their existing capabilities.
