DuPont, a global leader in digital inkjet inks with its Artistri® ink products, will be exhibiting an expanded product offering at the Impressions Expo from January 23-25 in Long Beach, California. The expo brings together the apparel decoration industry to experience the latest technologies and applications in one place, with several live demos and product launches.
The DuPont team will display its Artistri® digital inkjet inks offerings in textile applications, highlighting the addition of gamut expanding colors to the Artistri® P1600 direct-to-film (DTF) pigment ink set. The series is ideal for printers demanding consistency, high-productivity and vibrant colors on a variety of fabrics. The company is also introducing its DTF-120 film, a premium transfer film specially developed for the direct-to-film digital printing application, supporting a wide variety of apparel and specialty applications. Backed by more than 35 years of leadership in the digital inkjet industry, DuPont™ Artistri® DTF-120 film includes DuPont’s full application technical support. The film is designed to work with both hot peel and cold peel methods and to deliver vibrant colors with a dry touch.
Robert Simpson, the Americas & EMEA Business Leader for DuPont™ Artistri® Digital Inks, said,
“Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing technology has quickly gained traction for its versatility and quality in textile printing. We are happy to introduce new gamut expanding inks and announce a film offering that is coming soon to complement our ink portfolio. We are eager to connect with our customers and share more details about it.”
Garment decorators will benefit from brightly printed fabrics while contributing to their brands’ sustainability goals as all DuPont products, including the Artistri® P1600 inks, participate in our updated portfolio sustainability assessment methodology that uses safer-by-design principles to assess and evaluate potential health and environmental risks. They are classified as non-hazardous under US GHS (Globally Harmonized System) and are made without introductions of HAPS (hazardous air pollutants).
DuPont pigment inks are granted the OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT certification, with ZDHC MRSL Conformance Level 3, as well as the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification. All this is possible through our extensive ink formulation know-how, in combination with our best-in-class product stewardship and manufacturing to offer a compatible and reliable product that takes the quality of DTF printing to the next level.
During the show, visitors will get to experience the print performance of the Artistri® technology through a collaboration with Cobraflex (https://www.cobraflexprinters.com), which will have a DTF printer in use at the Artistri® booth throughout the event.
