The show is being organised for the first time.

The AnaJet printer is one of the fastest direct-to-garment printers in the industry. Built for high volume production, it is considered to be the most durable printer in its class and prints a 12” x 10” graphic on black and dark garments in just 40 seconds. One pass is used for the white base before the second colour pass is applied.

Jim Lambert, vice president, general manager, digital division of Inx International Ink Co., said the company’s relationship with AnaJet and the digital apparel printer dates back to 2009.

“We began negotiations with AnaJet at the time to build a new line of printers. In February 2010, we signed a development agreement for this new line and the birth of m-Power. For the smaller desktop style direct-to-garment printers, it is one of the fastest on the market. It has a really nice compact design that is extremely well thought out. There is a good reason why there are so many m-Power5 and m-Power10s installations, and that’s because it is one of the best,” said Lambert, who indicated the JetINX parts and components designed for this machine were extensive.

Whereas the AnaJet printer is a solid choice for sign and large format vendors and custom T-shirt shops, and screen printers, the upgraded CP100 UV digital cylindrical printer is ideal for promotional products distributors and others. Both it and the SLED are built to meet the growing demand for direct-to-object printing in industrial markets. Most importantly, these machines allow designers and brand owners to produce cost efficient short runs, proofs and prototypes with direct-to-object printing, Lambert noted.

“The CP100 is a natural for the drinkware, cosmetic and industrial printing industries. It comes equipped with the newest patent pending helical printing software and delivers exceptional quality single or multiple-colour images at very high speeds. And it’s fast; it can produce a sample or prototype in only a few seconds,” said Lambert.

“The SLED machine is a cost affordable test and demonstration device. It’s a single pass machine that examines inks and chemistries in different fluid delivery systems. It also can test printheads and various ink sets, and gives you the ability to look at how the ink is responding to a variety of substrates and materials,” Lambert said.

Lambert said Inx Digital’s prodigy water-based, UV curable and solvent inks would be on display. Designed for use on demanding industrial applications, these inks can be found in the home décor and packaging settings. (SV)
