JK Group, a Dover operating company, will showcase its Kiian Digital's reactive inks designed for direct printing onto cotton and other cellulosic fibres at Heimtextil on 8-11 January in Frankfurt, Germany.
Visitors will be able to touch and feel the printing results achievable by using the company’s Digistar Bellagio inks as well as view its printing performances, as the inks will be printing on MS Printing Solutions booth (Hall 3.0, Booth J61) using an MS JP4 EVO printing machine. MS is also part of Dover Digital Group.
“We are excited to put forward, in this important textile context, Digistar Bellagio, which is the natural complement of the Kiian Digital's current textile product portfolio,” says Marco Girola, JK Group marketing manager. “Digistar Bellagio was born from the synergy of highly specialised teams in digital textile printing, MS & JKG, to go beyond the limits of product and process; by developing systems able to raise efficiency and maximise results, to benefit the market in which we operate.”
Digistar Bellagio's colour selection has been conducted selecting dyes and allows users to reproduce the widest colour gamut as well as offer outstanding bright and vivid colours. It includes CMYK, light black, orange, red and blue.
In addition to the new reactive ink, Digistar Bellagio, the booth will also feature the Digistar Bravo disperse ink compatible with Kyocera print heads for direct printing onto polyester. Digistar Bravo is recognised for its light fastness, high penetration into fibres, and deep black intensity, says the company.
The Digistar K-Choice pigment inks, compatible with Kyocera print heads for direct digital printing onto fabric created for fashion and home textiles will also be on show. Digistar K-Choice is recognised for light fastness, good washing resistances and wide colour gamut, enabling accurate reproduction of fashion and home textile colours, the company continues. The company’s full range of sublimation inks will complete the inks showcasing during the event.
JK Group states that Heimtextil will be the right occasion to point out JK Group's eco-friendly commitment, especially for the Kiian Digital brand that, through its full Textile Standard Compliance Program, enables production of sustainable print.
JK Group recently promoted its Kiian Digital and J-Teck ink brands at ITMA Asia + CITME in Shanghai on 15-19 October, and at SGIA in Las Vegas on 18-20 October.
