| The latest generation of digital printer, The Monna Lisa,
has recently been installed and is the first volume printer
in the UK. The Monna Lisa offers quality print at up to 50 metres per hour, significantly increasing production opportunities.
Our digital printing department also utilises 1 Mimaki TX-3,
4 Mimaki TX-2 and 2 Mimaki TX-1600 machines.
There are no limitations on colour, scale or detail, with
special attention being paid to colourmatching exactly to
customers’ requirements. Using the Newton software
system we are able to colourmatch from monitor to printed
fabric.
The fabrics offered cover a wide range, from the sheerest
of silks to heavy cottons and velvets, and includes chiffon,
habotai, georgette, poplin, canvas, cotton lawn, fine wool,
lycra and other stretch fabrics.
To ensure the correct chemistry is used on each fabric the
printers are set up on all available dyestuffs-acids, reactives
and disperse.
Silks, wool and nylon are printed with acids.
Cotton and celluosic fabrics are printed with reactives.
Polyester is either printed directly with disperse or by
the sublimation route.
The textile printing background has been invaluable in the
translation and development of digital printing.
