Sun Chemical has launched ElvaJet Topaz SC sublimation ink for digital textile print.
The company has developed the new ink to have superior drop control at the different available drop sizes on the whole range of Kyocera printheads, making it easy to use and providing high colour release from coated and uncoated transfer papers, thus helping reduce waste through lower ink consumption and less colour remaining on the paper after transfer.
ElvaJet Topaz SC is certified for Eco-Passport by Oekotex with no restrictions, meaning any fabric printed with it does not need to be re-tested for compliance to the OekoTex Class 100 standard.
Pete Saunders, global director - digital businesses at Sun Chemical, said: “Many textile printers are searching for an ink solution that allows stress-free nonstop production. Sun Chemical has further enabled this by bringing together our knowledge of the textile and sublimation printing industry and combining it with our core inkjet competency to develop a sublimation ink that removes any need to compromise on colour, print quality or machine up-time.
“This launch is just the latest in a programme of new technologies being developed by Sun Chemical to optimise the experience of all digital textile printers with the best colour, application and printer reliability, ensuring that printers can get the best result every time.”
