From its range of specially-designed 12 inks, Kiian said printers can create the most comprehensive gamut of high-quality colours available for sublimation printers, for use across textile and rigid substrates alike. 

It is showing a range of colourful fabrics produced using the inks in one of two Fespa Textile halls. Designed to withstand the intense printing conditions associated with textile printing and compatible with wide-format printheads, the inks are formulated for use with a range of hardware options.

The K-One ink for the Kyocera inkjet printhead, aims at high quality and productivity for industrial production and offers premium image quality, accurate colour reproduction, quick drying and reduced operating costs, the manufacturer said.

The Digistar AIR ink formulation is compatible with Ricoh piezo-electric printheads, and has been developed especifically for sublimation transfer printing onto polyester and blended fibers with a minimum of 80% polyester.

And for Epson printheads, the Digistar Hi-Pro also enables transfer printing onto polyester and pre-treated rigid substrates.

Marco Girola, Kiian Digital marketing specialist said: “Digital print is becoming increasingly popular in the textile and interior décor industry where colour, performance and immediate availability are crucial.

“Fespa Digital provides the ideal platform to demonstrate the variety of products achievable using our sublimation inks.”
