Cape Town September 2021 : NUtec Digital Ink ® will be showing their latest eco-solvent and dye-sublimation inks at the GPS Live Demo Expo, from October 5th-7th in Johannesburg, where their products can be seen on the stands of their partners, Falcon and Kolok.
Falcon has the most comprehensive range of quality products at competitive prices, Falcon has emerged as the leading supplier of signage materials in the Southern African region.
Established in 1995, with 11 national outlets, fully BEE approved, and a commitment to personal service and new product introductions.
Kolok Graphic Supplies is a large format media supplier.
They offer a wide range of digital print media, that will meet all needs, from Vinyl, Inks, PVC, Backlit, Wallpaper, Canvas, Poster Paper and Lamination.
On display will be NUtec’s Aquamarine water-based dye sublimation ink range with the latest addition of fluorescent options.
Customers can now experience a wider, brighter colour palette in the company’s Aquamarine water-based offering with the addition of both fluorescent yellow and fluorescent pink.
The Aquamarine AQ10-DST-HC ink is a dye sublimation range developed for use on Epson® DX4, DX5, DX6, DX7, 5113, PrecisionCore TFP, XP600 & EPS3200 printheads, and is optimised for transfer printing on coated and uncoated transfer paper.
High density colour leads to reduced ink consumption with faster print speeds for increased productivity and vibrant images, keeping costs down and output up.
Recommended applications include activewear, interior décor textiles, graphic arts and soft signage using substrates with a minimum 60% polyester content.
NUtec sales and marketing director, Neil Green notes: “We are seeing an exponential increase in demand for digital textile printing as companies look for more sustainable and waste-reducing ways to do business into the future. The shift from traditional to digital printing in the textile industry allows for rapid small sample testing, short runs with quick turnaround times and less stock-piling at warehouses. This is preferred in the fashion and interior décor industries as it will result in general waste reduction, while time to market is improved. This trend is encouraging for NUtec as we choose to invest in new products and innovations for this sector, the latest being our fluorescent specialty inks offering.”
Also available will be the The Diamond D10-ESM eco-solvent ink which is designed as a back-to-back replacement for Roland® Eco-Sol MAX™ ink, while the D10-ESM2 is designed to replace the Roland® Eco-Sol MAX2™ inkset.
Both products offer superior abrasion and chemical resistance while providing excellent media compatibility across a broad range of self-adhesive and flexible substrates.
NUtec’s Diamond ESM and ESM2 inks are chemically & colour matched to the OEM inks, requiring no flushing or profiling when converting from the original.
This low smell, fast drying eco-solvent ink range offers an expanded colour gamut with the availability of light colours including light black and is available in various bottle, cartridge and pouch configurations.
The D10-ESM and D10-ESM2 inks offer excellent outdoor durability with a lifespan of two years for the printed images, provided the inks are used in regular applications, using suitable substrates.
“Even in high-speed print modes, our Diamond eco-solvent ESM and ESM2 inks deliver reliable print results with vivid, photo-realistic images and are recommended for applications such as vinyl outdoor banners, point-of-sale signage, window decals and wall graphics, ” says NUtec Digital Ink’s Managing Director, Jamie Lowndes.
