The EFI Reggiani Bolt Leads The Way In The Textile Printing Industry’s Digital Re-Equipment Agenda As It Breaks The 70 Million Meter Production Barrier Worldwide
As the volume textile printing industry seeks to re-equip for the digital era, the EFI Reggiani BOLT offers a solution that is at the cutting-edge of technology.
Delivering boosted uptime and reliability, high performance throughout, the Bolt gives unparalleled printing uniformity and accuracy, in addition to superior print head life and minimal maintenance needs making the BOLT the next generation Textile Single Pass printer of choice for the volume sector.
The #EFIReggiani BOLT, with one installation in Italy and three in Pakistan, has now reached the important milestone of 70+ million meters printed worldwide.
“With the industry’s top speed and now the delivery of even higher print quality, the EFI Reggiani BOLT can help spur a revolution in textile printing, migrating more production to digital technology, ensuring the fastest return on investment on high-volume work thanks to superior throughput and unmatched reliability and uptime,” said EFI Reggiani Senior Vice President and General Manager Adele Genoni.
“With the BOLT’s new enhancements – and its ability to print extremely high quality on a variety of designs and fabric types at record-breaking speeds up to 90 meters per minute – the economic cross-over point between analog and digital printing of fabrics is lower than ever before. The time for single-pass technology is now with this best-in-class, sustainable, high-quality and high-throughput digital textile print solution.”
Its unique hardware and software features allow you to reach unparalleled printing results in single pass:
✔️ missing nozzles compensation
✔️ uniformity correction
✔️ BOLT camera application, enabling automatic alignment and registering of print heads
✔️ incremental advantages of Fiery RIP
Launched during ITMA 2019, the Reggiani BOLT – is the first commercially available, single-pass inkjet printer capable of direct-to-textile production at speeds up 295 linear feet (90 linear meters) per minute.
As the fastest inkjet textile printer product at ITMA 2019, the Reggiani BOLT was the star digital solution, featuring a cutting-edge, high-performance printhead system with highly efficient recirculation features, giving users reliable, superior-quality printing for a full range of design needs.
Printing in resolutions from 600 x 600 dots per inch (dpi) up to 600 x 4,800 dpi, users benefit from direct-to-textile imaging with variable drop sizes from 5 to 30 picoliters for accurate, high-end image quality.
It is a robust, industrial platform designed for 24/7 operation, with superior printhead life and minimal maintenance needs.
Plus, the printer can include one or more analog printing stations as an option, integrated into the digital printer for special effects.
The Reggiani BOLT printer includes the new EFI Fiery® BT-1000 digital front end (DFE) – a professional color management and RIP solution featuring superior screening and fine dithering algorithms for high-quality print results, with excellent detail reproduction, smooth gradations, clean solid colors, deep blacks, and high saturation.
With the speed of the printer and its robust Fiery DFE, users can stream jobs to production in real time, reducing the cost per meter of digitally printed textiles while creating a broader range of designs quickly and efficiently.
