“We believe customers will be impressed with the quality and hand of the fabrics printed with Artistri,” Greg Vas Nunes, president of Hyosung, Europe and the Americas, said. The combination of our innovation in creora spandex in fabric and the Artistri acid dye ink provide outstanding wash fastness, durability and exceptional color penetration properties, making it ideal for the intimate apparel and swimwear markets.”
Digital printing technology opens up new design capabilities around colors, patterns and images. The ability to change colors and designs quickly is one of the major advantages of digital printing over traditional screen-printing methods. In a digital system, design changes are enabled through software, without the need to engrave screens. Color changes are also made at the computer, eliminating the process of cleaning screens and changing inks.
