As India’s largest manufacturer of digital inkjet printers, ColorJet is fulfilling the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi by manufacturing world-class digital textile printers that are being applauded and installed worldwide. ColorJet’s digital textile printers have presence in over 20 countries including European countries, UAE, Australia, and China.

Textile industry is the second most polluting industry and having sustainable digital textile printers is the need of the hour. The shift from traditional textile printing to digital ensures reduction in the carbon footprint. ColorJet’s R&D department, which is recognised by the Government of India, offers efficient engineering to provide customers with sustainable textile printing alternatives.

The compact and energy efficient DTF printers offer 42 per cent less energy consumption. Pigment and sublimation printing provides zero water consuming printing solutions.

In addition to providing employment opportunities to skilled personnel, students, engineers, and many more, ColorJet is contributing to Regional Value Content (RVC) with an addition of more than 50 per cent and has entered into trade agreement under AIFTA (ASEAN-India Free Trade Area) so ColorJet customers can get the benefit of zero MNF tariff rates.
