Kodak forays into DTG ink market with Pigment.inc

Kodak has partnered with Pigment.in BV Europe to release EDTG ink targeting the growing DTG sector. The inks are made at Kodak’s former photographic site in Rochester and even use the old Kodak photo film brand name ‘Kodacolor’. The Kodacolor EDTG Series inks from Kodak were explicitly designed for direct-to-fabric printing on cotton, cotton blends, and polyester fabrics. They are equally adept at printing direct to finished garments or to roll fabrics. This water-based ink is designed to work in digital printers that employ piezo-electric printheads and operates at a very high level of nozzle performance among printheads requiring low viscosity inks.

Although designed for use in production printing, these inks are also suitable for high quality sampling and strike offs. Kodak is proud to include Pigment.inc B.V Europe as their premier world-wide distributor of the Kodacolor EDTG Series Inks. Pigment.inc B.V Europe’s market knowledge and expertise are recognized worldwide. This partnership will make the Kodacolor ink set features available world-wide. Benefits to Kodacolor ink users include increased production rates due to the inclusion of features such as short curing time, larger colour gamut, more prints before head cleaning, and improved wash.
