DuPont Digital Printing today announced the availability of the next generation of DuPont™ Artistri™ P5000 Color Inks for direct-to-garment digital printing at the drupa 2008 trade show in Dusseldorf, Germany (Hall 8b, Stand B23).
Originally launched in 2005 for direct-to-garment printing on cotton or cotton rich blends for applications like t-shirts and other specialty applications, the brilliant Artistri™ P5000 aqueous-based pigment ink set consists of CMYK, along with its cutting-edge white ink. The inks are all specially formulated by DuPont science to provide bright, bold and vibrant textile printing with excellent end-use performance.
“DuPont Digital Printing is committed to continually develop and provide enhanced, high-quality digital textile printing products to our customers,” said Michael Lazzara, global business manager -- DuPont™ Artistri™. “This next generation of P5000 Series color inks will provide enhanced wash and substrate performance as well as improved printing and end-use properties over a wider range of substrates, including non-cotton fabrics.”
Artistri™ P5000 series inks have been specifically formulated to work in printers with low-viscosity piezo-electric printheads and are suitable for high-quality sampling, strike-off and production printing. The ink and DuPont pre-treatment solutions are integrated into a matched system that works together for optimum results.
The comprehensive Artistri™ ink offering also 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™ 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.
