Making production in the field of industrial inkjet technology, Xennia Agate™ introduced its high speed production digital textile printing systems based on Kyocera KJ4B printheads. Agate™, which is developed for functional textiles, can be used for high quality polyamide fabric printing. D Xennia digital textile inks enable printers to add value for their customers by creating high colour fabric prints with minimised materials, energy and water usage. Xennia’s digital textile ink range includes Xennia Amethyst™ reactive dye ink for printing cotton and cellulosics, Xennia Corundum™ sublimation ink for polyester and Xennia Moissanite™ UV curable ink for outdoor textile printing.
High Production Reliability
Dr Olivier Morel, Xennia’s Chief Technology Officer stated that: “Xennia Agate™ is a high performance ink designed for polyamide textile decoration, which uses specifically tailored dye chemistry to give customers excellent colour vibrancy and fastness performance, while maintaining the high production reliability that customers expect from a Xennia product. After testing in their mill, one customer in South America described the results as ‘absurdly better’ than those from their previous ink supplier, showing the real benefits from choosing Xennia ink.” Dr Tim Phillips, Marketing Manager, added that: “While smaller than the cellulosics market, the silk and polyamide markets are important ones with stringent quality requirements, which makes them ideal for Xennia. Adding Xennia Agate™ to our expanding range allows us to help a wider audience of customers looking for high quality digital textile ink products.”
