ColorJet launching green digital fabric printing

ColorJet Group, one of the largest manufacturers of digital inkjet printers in India, is participating in the Knit Show being held at Tirupur from August 7-9 and will be introducing its direct-to-fabric digital printing machines using water-based pigment inks aimed at green digital printing.

ColorJet will be showcasing samples printed on its best-selling direct-to-fabric digital printing machines; the METRO and VASTRAJET, which use the groundbreaking and environmentally friendly, water-based pigment inks.
