EFI Reggiani showcased its 72-inch (1.8-meter) wide EFI Reggiani Bolt at the ITMA textile industry tradeshow, which ran from June 20-26 in Barcelona.
On June 22, the company presented EFI Reggiani Innovation Pioneer Awards to the first four customers who purchased the single-pass digital textile printer, which prints at speeds up to 295 linear feet (90 linear meters) per minute.
Texprint s.r.l. has already installed and is operating the world's first EFI Reggiani BOLT printer.
The other honorees included 3 Pakistani businesses – Hunbul Tex Pvt. Ltd and Firdous Cloth Mill Pvt. Ltd. and Zaman Textile Mills Pvt. Ltd., which purchased the Reggiani BOLT printer on display at ITMA.
"These four customers deserve our Innovation Pioneer Award for their investment in state-of-the-art technology, and they will show the world just how much more efficient and profitable digital can be using the breakthroughs the EFI Reggiani BOLT provides," EFI Reggiani VP and GM Adele Genoni said.
Printing in resolutions from 600 x 600 dots per inch (dpi) up to 600 x 4,800 dpi, users benefit from direct-to-textile imaging with variable drop sizes from 5 to 30 picoliters for accurate, high-end image quality. It is an industrial platform designed for 24/7 operation, with superior printhead life and minimal maintenance needs.

The exhibit also featured a complete range of water-based EFI Reggiani inks as well as EFI Mezzera indigo and dyeing technologies that provide deeper shades and superior fastness while reducing chemical usage by up to 40% compared with other dyeing technologies.
