Under its various brands, which include Pigent.Inc, PPS Innovations and DTG Digital, Impression Technology will show an impressive array of Digital Textile kit.
Starting with the launch at FESPA of the Q1•T Series Direct-to-Film Transfer Printer, an industrial grade dedicated roll-to-roll transfer system for mass production of transfers for the apparel and product decoration sector , Impression Technology go on to highlight their recently launched DTF Kit, The T-Fold and their Pre-T machine.
Products Being Exhibited At The FESPA Expo:
Q1 Q2 Hybrid Series Printers / Dtg/Dtf Hybrid (Dtg Digital)
The Q Hybrid Series are available in two models being the Q1 and Q2. A first of its kind, the Q Hybrid Series DTG/DTF incorporates transfer printing by way of proprietary reverse firmware creating a true hybrid industrial process where seamless direct and transfer prints are produced on a single printing platform.
The Q1 is capable of producing up to 50 dark garments per hour and up to 75 light garments.
The Q2 model can produce up to 100 dark garments per hour in production mode and up to 150 light shirts.
Both models are designed for industrial level printing onto T-Shirts, apparel, sportswear, outdoor wear and other fabric products.
The Q Hybrid Series Printers provides the garment decoration sector with the efficiency, versatility, and flexibility needed to instantly scale up production output.
Q1•T Series Printer / Roll-To-Roll Transfer (DTG Digital)
A DTF roll-to-roll transfer printing system for indirect fabric decoration.
It prints transfers onto rolls of translucent PET film before passing through an in-line powder glue station and curing unit.
The in-line system prints, polymerises and cures the ink and glue layer ready for heat transfer application onto a broad range of natural and synthetic fabric types including, cottons, Polyesters, Poly-cotton blends, Tri-blends, Spandex and Nylon.
The Q1•T Series Printer simplifies the transfer printing process while simultaneously boosting production capacity and application versatility
DTF Kit / Transfer Kit (PPS Innovations)
The DTF Kit was developed to enable existing DTG users of Epson, Brother and most other brand printers using textile pigmented ink chemistry to print DTF transfers on their existing DTG printer setup.
A distinct benefit of indirect transfer printing is the ability to decorate synthetic fabrics including Sportswear and Outdoor wear and the ability to embellish difficult surfaces like caps and bags which can have curves and flaps making it impractical for direct printing.
The DTF Kit consists of a modular heat-controlled platen to reduce ink bleed during film printing, printable transfer sheets, a TPU powder glue for application via a shaker and a PPS Melt Box to cure both the ink layer and powder glue ready for heat transfer onto garments.
The heat-controlled platen stabilises the ink during printing, thus reducing colour bleed on the film which in turn improves both image and transfer quality.
The TPU powder glue is optimised to reduce static on the printable film ensuring accurate glue to ink adhesion and flexibility in fabric types for transfer decoration.
The PPS Melt Cure box is a heat adjustable and timer-controlled unit that cures the printed film and glue prior to pressing. DTG users can also avail of Kodak’s DTF specific ink-set as an option.
T-Fold Machine / Folding And Assisted Bagging Of Tees (PPS Innovations)
The T-Fold is a bench top all electric driven T-Shirt folding and assisted bagging machine designed for the DTG sector and automates the folding of T-Shirts and garments.
The T-Fold takes four seconds to fold and present the shirt ready for bagging which equates to 350 to 550 shirts per hour with one operator, depending on the fold cycle selected.
Being all electric the T-Fold can be run from a standard wall plug with no compressed air requirements. The T-Fold is portable yet built to industrial grade specifications.
PRE-T Machine / Pre- Treat Garments For Digital Printing (PPS Innovations)
The Pre-T is designed for efficient and safe pre-treatment of both small and large volumes of garments prior to digital printing.
The design of the new PRE-T Machine had current DTG operators in mind and is built to handle the robust equipment needs of garment decoration businesses.
The PRE-T is constructed of metal and coated with ACF-50 anti-corrosion film for longevity. A unique spray nozzle system delivers precision surface coating without clogging.
The PRE-T is simple to clean and maintain with an integrated semi-automated cleaning function.
The unit encapsulates the shirt entirely during pre-treating and leaves no misting of pre-treat in the print room for the benefit of operator safety. Users set the amount of pre-treat required, load the garment into the unit and its ready to operate.
