Digital textile printer manufacturer Mtex has partnered textile software developer Ava Cad Cam at Heimtextil 2016 and will show their respective MTEX Blue Pigment printers and AVA's Digital Print Design & Colour Solutions Software working together.

“The Mtex Blue is positioned firmly in the digital textile pigment printing sector but can also be used as an accurate proofing device for industrial textile printing and is unique for its price and performance,” Mtex said in a press release.

“As a Mimaki worldwide OEM partner, MTEX has developed a whole line of digital textile printing systems at their European manufacturing plant in Portugal,” it added.

“Heat fixation is an essential part of the pigment printing process, that either needs to be brought in-house with additional machinery, or outsourced, which takes time and money and results in loss of control of the final output and colour accuracy,” the company stated.

MTEX's engineers have developed a patented inline heat polymerisation system that fixes the printed pigment dyes to the fabric inline, while traditionally this has been a two-part process and is now, through MTEX technology, a one-pass process.

Ava specialises in the management of design and colour from initial conception through to digitally or conventionally printed final production for the fashion and decorative printing industries.

With roots in the textile industry, AVA's software provides the ideal front-end design and colouring prior to accurate, colour controlled, digital printing for sampling or production.

AVA's software empowers designers to create innovative designs for textiles and décor as well as colour separations, colourways, mapping and accurate proofing for either digital or analogue printing.

Mtex CEO Eloi Ferreira said, “We are delighted to be working with Ava once again and by combining the all-in-one, affordable nature of the Mtex Blue Pigment printer with AVA's powerful software and RIP, colour management and control is finally and firmly back where it belongs.”

“Together we can deliver commercially viable, digital textile solutions for customers across the board, and our joint showcase at Heimtextil will offer visitors an excellent insight into the vibrancy and accuracy of the colours achievable,” he too added.

Duncan Ross, director at Ava informed, “Software is an integral part of defining the quality of output and by showcasing the Mtex Blue with Pigment ink at Heimtextil, we are able to demonstrate to visitors exactly what is achievable in digital textile print today, in an all-in-one solution.” (AR)
