Offers printers greater speed and environmental benefits.<\/em><\/p>\n

Wilmington, DE, November 10, 2015<\/em> \u2013 DuPont Digital Printing (DuPont) and EFI Reggiani (Reggiani) are pleased to announce the introduction of DuPont\u2122 Artistri\u00ae PK2600 digital textile pigment ink<\/a> for EFI\u2122 Reggiani ReNOIR digital textile printers. Artistri\u00ae PK2600 ink was developed by DuPont for EFI Reggiani and is designed primarily for cotton textile roll-to-roll printing that shows performance comparable to reactive ink results.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen two market leaders come together to collaborate on a high-growth area of technology as important as pigment inks for roll-to-roll printing, it\u2019s a powerful combination,\u201d said Ted Zhi, textile market segment leader, DuPont Digital Printing.\u00a0 \u201cWe expect the new DuPont\u2122 Artistri\u00ae PK2600 inks and the innovative printing process developed by EFI Reggiani will considerably enhance the role of pigment inks for high-speed digital printing applications in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to cotton textile roll-to-roll printing, Artistri\u00ae PK2600 ink also has been shown to work well on a number of fabrics that cannot be printed with reactive inks including polyesters, viscose, cotton\/polyester blends and non-woven materials.<\/p>\n

Pigment inks offer a streamlined workflow, faster turnaround and greatly improved environmental attributes that mills and print specifiers are demanding. Artistri\u00ae PK2600 ink provides these benefits while still offering true color and the soft feel comparable to reactive printing, excellent fastness and best-in-class digital printing performance. Because Artistri\u00ae PK2600 ink requires no steaming or washing production steps, job turnaround is significantly faster while water and chemical usage and costs are minimized.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud of the year-long effort with DuPont on this development, and we are very pleased with the results that will help customers be more productive, efficient and environmentally friendly,\u201d said Ambrogio Caccia Dominioni, managing director, EFI Reggiani.\u00a0 \u201cWe are looking forward to demonstrating the benefits of the ink to textile customers at the upcoming ITMA exhibition in Italy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Manufactured in a DuPont ISO 9001 certified facility in Ft. Madison, Iowa, DuPont produces and tests every batch of Artistri\u00ae ink to an extremely tight tolerance, which helps ensure its exceptional color saturation is repeatable, day to day, month to month and year to year.<\/p>\n

EFI Reggiani is a leading technology provider of a full range of industrial solutions for textile manufacturing, including high-quality printers for fashion and home furnishing textiles, with a comprehensive portfolio spanning the company’s original rotary screen technologies to the most advanced inkjet textile printers and inks in the industry.
