Durst, a manufacturer of advanced digital production technologies, displayed its extensive Alpha Series portfolio with multi-pass inkjet printing systems for the digital production of home textiles and fashion at Heimtextil 2017, held in Frankfurt, Germany from January 10 to 13, 2017.
Alpha printing systems offer printing widths from 190 to 330 cm and can be configured with up to eight colours and 64 Alpha-S printheads. With a native resolution of 600 dpi and printing speeds of up to 620 lm/h, they boast 24 x 7 industrial-scale production capacities, and can be used directly and with tremendous flexibility. The various samples and applications produced by Probo and on display at the trade fair stand showed visitors exactly what these systems can do. The Alpha Series comes with the Greentex pigment ink developed by Durst that require no pre- or post-treatment when used with standard materials such as cotton or polyester. This makes the production processes much shorter and considerably more cost-effective regardless of the size of the print run.
