One of the leading companies in printing technologies, EFI continues to bring innovation to textiles technologies and printing machinery. EFI has lately showcased its new Reggiani Colors digital printing machine and Mezzera product for more environmentally sustainable dyeing on denim garments in Turkey for the firs time.
Transition From Traditional Manufacturing To Digital Manufacturing Simplifies
EFI’s newest Reggiani Colors offering is the company’s fourth high-tech textile printer debut in less than one year . Reggiani Colors simplifies transition from traditional manufacturing to digital manufacturing besides providing an imaging configuration that is quite important. “The new EFI Reggiani COLORS printer launching at ITM is a breakthrough offering for textile producers, offering up to 12 colours that can be printed in a row,” said EFI Reggiani Vice President and General Manager Adele Genoni.
The EFI Reggiani COLORS digital printer gives users the ability to print nearly any configuration of inks in 180-, 240- and 340-mm widths – including using special inks, inks of different chemistry types, and chemistry for special treatments such as for higher-penetration printing, all at the same time. It prints up to 560 square metres per hour thanks to its extended colour gamut, and increased penetration into fabric. The ecosystem includes the EFI Fiery® Textile Bundle, which combines technologies for efficient textile design and file preparation with the Fiery proServer digital front end (DFE) for professional colour management and high-quality RIP output on EFI Reggiani digital printers. EFI Optitex® software provides an integrated 2D/3D digital solution for the fashion and textile industry to enable companies to quickly create digital garments.
Great Contribution To Environmental Denim Prduction
New EFI Mezzera indigo dyeing technology is globally introduced for the first time in Turkey. New EFI Mezzera indigo dyeing technology gives textile companies a way to eliminate the excess water usage, chemistry waste and high operating costs of denim production. EFI partnered with denim producers and manufacturers from around the globe to create the new Mezzera LOOP SLASHER product. The new product uses nitrogen sealed chambers to improve indigo performance and preserve chemicals. Compared with other denim production technologies, the EFI Mezzera LOOP SLASHER has a 35% smaller footprint and uses 50% less indigo liquor. It also limits the total amount of chemicals needed in denim production, preserving 30% to 40% of hydrosulphite needed in the process for re-use.
