DuPont Digital Printing, an industry leader in the development and manufacture of digital inks, will showcase its full line of DuPont™ Artistri™ inks for digital textile printing at FESPA Digital 2008, April 1-3, 2008 in Geneva, Switzerland at the Geneva Palexpo (Booth L14).

“We are very pleased to showcase our total Artistri™ ink portfolio to visitors at FESPA and to exhibit how these well-proven inks are demonstrating commercial success in a diverse range of textile applications worldwide,” said Marco Torri, global sales manager, Artistri™. “We are particularly excited to showcase our Artistri™ P5000 ink set for direct-to-garment printing featuring our innovative white ink and process colors that deliver rich, long-lasting color for apparel and specialty applications.”

Artistri™ ink is available in both pigment and dye based formulations that combine DuPont proprietary pigment dispersion, polymer and ink formulation technology. Because they are formulated with the same dyes and pigments used in conventional textile printing, Artistri™ ink offers superior results for digital textile printing - excellent fastness properties, brilliant colors and robust print reliability.

Our comprehensive Artistri™ ink offering includes:

· Artistri™ 500 series acid dye inks designed for use in printheads that require lower viscosity inks for applications on silk and nylon/elastane blends.

· Artistri™ P5000 series pigment inks, also designed for use in printheads that require lower viscosity inks, for printing on cotton or cotton rich blends for a wide variety of direct-to-garment apparel and specialty applications.

· Artistri™ 700 series acid, disperse and reactive dye and pigment inks designed for use in print heads that require medium viscosity inks for printing on popular textile materials for a wide range of applications.

The Digital Printing business unit is part of DuPont Imaging Technologies, and focuses on providing color any way you want it through technology, products and services for many digital printing applications, packaging graphics solutions, ink jet ink, specialty colorants, authentication products, and display enhancements.
