Sustainability and digital workflow advantages of its textile solutions are being showcased by EFI Reggiani at the ITMA 2023 in Milan/Italy from June 8-14, 2023. The company is presenting its progressive and sustainable Reggiani ecoTerra pigment printing line up, the super-high-speed EFI Reggiani Hyper and Reggiani Bolt XS direct-to-fabric printing solutions, and EFI Inèdit end-to-end digital textile workflows.
The ecoTerra solution is an all-in-one solution for water-based pigment printing that requires no ancillary equipment for pre- and post-treatment. By significantly reducing water, energy and chemicals consumption in the overall process, customers can now obtain a truly sustainable, direct-to-fabric printing solution. For the first time at ITMA, EFI Reggiani, Bergamo/Italy, is presenting its full ecoTerra line up of 4 models, including a 340 cm printing width, with speeds ranging from 150-600 m²/hour. This allows customers to choose the best TCO/ROI based on output volume and speed range.
ecoTerra water-based pigment inks deliver very good wet and dry fastness properties, sharpness in detail, and outstanding durability while also ensuring printhead longevity with reduced maintenance costs. Thanks to the enhanced polymerization and finishing unit, ecoTerra also provides an enhanced tactile experience and fabric softness.
In addition to highlighting EFI Reggiani’s sustainable product offering, the company is also demonstrating the significant productivity and efficiency advantages offered by its portfolio of high-speed, high-performance digital textile printers at the ITMA 2023. Visitors can see how mass production can transition to a digital, on-demand workflow with the super-high speeds and ultra-high print quality of the EFI Reggiani Hyper scanning printer and the next-generation EFI Reggiani Bolt XS single-pass textile printer.
The Hyper model is the fastest scan digital textile printer in the market, according to the company. Available in 1.8, 2.4, or 3.4 m-wide models, the Hyper printer delivers extraordinary printing quality with unmatched productivity. Equipped with 72 printheads and ink recirculation up to the nozzle plate, it can print 2 pass, production quality at speeds up to 13 linear m/min on a 1.5 m-wide roll. Using the dual-roll capability on the 3.4 m model, users can achieve throughput speeds up to 20 m/min, comparable to some single-pass machines.
The new Bolt XS printer, with speeds up to 100 linear m/min, boosted uptime and reliability, high performance throughout, outstanding printing accuracy, and minimal maintenance needs, is a true digital replacement for rotary printing.
Integrated workflows
Visitors to the stand also will see EFI Reggiani’s new proprietary end-to-end digital printing workflow and the latest enhancements to EFI Inèdit digital textile software. Inèdit Software, Barcelona/Spain, now part of EFI Reggiani, is one of the leading developers of raster image processors (RIPs) and related software for digital industrial textile printing. The EFI Reggiani end-to-end workflow with Inèdit integration boosts productivity and production capabilities for digital textile print operations while ensuring maximum security for customer’s designs thanks to two-level encryption.
EFI Reggiani Query, the user-friendly, advanced data analysis tool to measure printer performance, keep track of real costs/m, and monitor water and energy consumption, is also being demonstrated.
