Tekboy Tekstil Installs SPGPrints’ JAVELIN Printer

SPGPrints announces that Tekboy Tekstil, of Istanbul, Turkey, has installed a JAVELIN digital printer to supplement production capacity, and meet increased demand for shorter-runs, rapid turnarounds and on-demand sample production.
   
Established in 1981, Tekboy is one of the country’s leading suppliers and has dyeing and printing facilities in Istanbul and Lüleburgaz, where the JAVELIN has been installed. The JAVELIN printer is Tekboy’s first high-volume digital machine investment, complementing a large number of conventional printing lines.
 
The JAVELIN printer uses Archer technology which enables the firing of variable drops (2pL-10pL) to the substrate. The 4mm distance from printhead to substrate eliminates head damage and is ideal for printing the knitted fabrics produced by Tekboy.
 
JAVELIN’s six-color (CMYK, Blue and Orange) system can reliably and repeatedly reproduce a wider gamut than any currently available eight-color system and achieve fine tonal gradations, thanks to the variable dot sizes. Tekboy’s JAVELIN is using reactive inks, developed and manufactured by SPGPrints.
