Another highlight is the EFI Reggiani VOGUE, direct-to-textile printing solution delivering higher quality results for the fashion and sportswear applications.
The printer deliver prints at resolutions of up to 2,400 dpi and with 16 print heads, 8 colours and 4 to 72 picolitre drop size.
The machine features an innovative re-circulation system that helps the manufacturer achieve their sustainability goals as it saves the amount of ink being used.
Moreover, the system further ensures minimum maintenance, reduces energy usage thus minimising the overall cost involved.
The printer can be run using any type of textile ink; however at the show the machine is being demonstrated using EFI Reggiani IRIS sublimation ink.
The direct sublimation process ensures superior colour brightness and eliminates the use of any transfer paper waste.
“We look forward to sharing the benefits of our green solutions, such as the TERRA printer line-up with pigment inks and direct sublimation processes, with ShanghaiTex attendees. More and more, the market is rewarding textile producers that not only deliver high efficiency, but also sustainability and a lower environmental impact.” said, Adele Genoni, Senior VP and GM, EFI Reggiani.
