Bordeaux's new green textile ink for direct-to-fabric and transfer printing at drupa 2012

Bordeaux at the ongoing drupa 2012 in Dusseldorf introduces its latest wide-format inkjet solutions PRDS, a new environmentally friendly water-based ink for direct and transfer printing on textile. At the expo, the company demonstrates the ink printing on the Speedjet Subly 180 printer. With excellent nozzle stability and performance on Epson printheads and high ink density, the PRDS produces intense and vibrant colors as well as excellent color fastness and low fumes during fixation.

This water based ink is suitable for both direct printing on fabrics or transfer printing, and it is available in bulk and cartridges. Bordeaux’s first Latex water-based resin ink designed for Piezo Drop-on-Demand printheads instead of the commonly used Thermal Drop-on-Demand printheads. The Latex ink benefits from the quality achieved with solvent based inks with the environmental advantage of water based inks.
