DuPont will launch Artistri P1600 direct-to-film (DTF) pigment inks at ITMA 2023 (8-14 June) in Milan.
“With Artistri P1600 DTF inks, garment decorators will not only benefit from brightly printed fabrics, but these water-based inks can help contribute to their sustainability initiatives,” said Tucker Norton, general manager for DuPont Artistri Digital Inks. “P1600 inks were formulated using safer by design principles to assess and evaluate any potential environmental risks, are classified as non-hazardous under GHS and are HAPS (hazardous air pollutants) free.”
Gary Weyman, EMEA business leader for DuPont Artistri Digital Inks, added: “Digital printing with pigment inks is gaining more space in textile printing due to minimal water usage which means a lower environmental footprint as it doesn’t require steaming and washing steps in the printing process. It is our mission to develop ink innovations that support sustainability in textile printing and, since our pigment inks are granted the Oeko-Tex Eco passport certification with ZDHC MRSL conformance level three, it helps enable safer work environments for textile printers.”
