The new printer employs a new printhead that achieves high-quality and beautiful print in high gap setting on thick or raised fibre surface.
Free from head troubles, the new model allows various types of ink such as reactive dye, sublimation dye, acid dye, disperse dye inks and allows printing on cotton, silk, linen, and rayon. The new printer model achieves an outstanding stability printing technology for sheer, knit, and elastic materials demand in the textile and apparel market.
