Electronics For Imaging (EFI), global technology company, is displaying its new EFI Reggiani COLORS digital printer and the new EFI Mezzera technology used for sustainable dyeing of denim garments at ITM 2018, in hall 6, stand 607. The 34th international textile machinery exhibition is being held from April 14 to 17, 2018, in Istanbul turkey.

At ITM, EFI experts are highlighting the company’s completely renewed digital printer range from EFI Reggiani, products that give users improved production workflows, including the ability to move to greener, environmentally friendly processes.

The EFI Reggiani COLORS digital printer gives users the ability to print nearly any configuration of inks in 180-, 240- and 340-mm widths - including using special inks, inks of different chemistry types, and chemistry for special treatments such as for higher-penetration printing, all at the same time. It prints up to 560 square metres per hour, delivering unmatched printing quality and uniformity with an extended colour gamut, superior colour depth and increased penetration into fabric.

The EFI ecosystem includes the EFI Fiery Textile Bundle, which combines technologies for efficient textile design and file preparation with the Fiery proServer digital front end (DFE) for professional colour management and high-quality RIP output on EFI Reggiani digital printers. Fiery DesignPro tools in the bundle give stakeholders throughout a design team the power to quickly and easily create professional designs, seamless repeat patterns, different colourways, colour libraries, and palettes.

EFI Optitex software provides an integrated 2D/3D digital solution for the fashion and textile industry to enable companies to quickly create true-to-life 3D digital garments that inspire. Optitex 3D Design Illustrator, a new plug-in tool, gives designers the freedom to validate and customise 3D garments in Adobe Illustrator. Designers can visualise 3D garments, with accurate proportion and scaling, and customise the garment’s fabric, texture, stitching, embellishments, print patterns and graphic placement without waiting for a printed sample.

New EFI Mezzera indigo dyeing technology making its worldwide debut at ITM gives textile companies a way to eliminate the excess water usage, chemistry waste and high operating costs of denim production. EFI partnered with denim producers and manufacturers from around the globe to create the new Mezzera LOOP SLASHER product, which gives users a more sustainable process, reducing environmental impact with lower water consumption and operating costs.
