DuPont Digital Printing announced today that Reggiani Macchine S.p.A., a world-wide leading developer, manufacturer and service provider of machines for textile printing, has approved DuPont™ Artistri® P2100 series pigment inks for use with the Reggiani DReAM brand digital textile printing system. This move will round out Reggiani's ink offering and open up wonderful new opportunities for its customers. The development of a new Artistri® pigment ink technology for the Reggiani DReAM machine is a result of DuPont Digital Printing's continued commitment to the digital textile marketplace and clearly demonstrates the value that industry-leaders, such as Reggiani, have for the company's Artistri® ink brand.
“Reggiani Macchine S.p.A. has always embodied the spirit of innovation and superior quality in the textile industry,” said Dr. Ambrogio Caccia Dominioni, the owner. “The availability of the advanced Artistri® pigment inks completes our offer, truly building on the Reggiani spirit and reputation. These inks are an exciting and valued new capability which makes it possible to be innovative while continuing our historic commitment to quality to our customers.”
“Our collaboration with Reggiani brings the best of both companies together and our customers will really see the benefit,” said Marco Torri, global sales manager for DuPont Digital Printing. “Reggiani has put our ink to the test with the DReAM machine in the most challenging print environments. The result has been a complete success resulting in beautifully printed pieces from a digital production printer.”
DuPont has applied its strong tradition in polymer science to develop Artistri® pigmented inks which yield full production quality crockfastness upon drying and excellent washfastness after post-heating in an oven or calendaring. Artistri® pigment ink requires no fabric pretreatment and provides high reliability in continuous operation, while providing the end-use performance the textile industry expects.
The Reggiani DReAM is a roll-to-roll/roll-to-folder industrial textile digital printing machine, suitable for a wide range of media (knitted, woven, non-woven, carpet, leather and other). The DReAM machine increases printing speed up to 230 square meters per hour at 600 DPI -- specifically developed for medium runs and faster times to market, at the lowest printing cost. The innovative printing machine is suitable for all textile applications, particularly high fashion items.
