Colorjet Will showcase Fabjet Grand at GTE 2015

Colorjet India Ltd, a leading manufacturer of digital inkjet textile printers will showcase the live demonstration of its latest grand format direct to fabric printer for customised home furnishing textiles - Fabjet Grand - at GTE 2015 which starts from February 28, 2015 in NSIC Ground, Okhla, New Delhi. The launch of the Fabjet Grand which is available in four models in different heads and colour options, signals the company’s move towards capturing the market for customised digital textile printers across the globe.

“This machine is the perfect solution to print directly on various types of fabric for short run and customised designs printing for the home furnishing business and is also an excellent industrial solution for mass production of home furnishing textiles,” claims Pavan Gupta, Director, Colorjet India. Fabjet Grand is targeted at the customised home furnishing textile segment, particularly for producers of home décor products like curtains, bed covers and sofa covers, who can directly print on cotton and polyester based fabrics using environment-friendly aqueous based pigment inks.

Gupta further says, “End users are looking for a unique style in home interiors. They can use something they have designed, a photographic image that they like or a specialty look that doesn’t come from a stock wall covering. The immediacy of digital printing is what’s appealing for creating custom furniture or drapery pieces. Digitally printed fabrics are much more on-demand as set-up time is shorter than screening and any changes can be made quickly.”

The printer has two heads per colour in staggered position which increases production and also has a high practical printing speed enabling high daily printing volumes and outstanding runability for overnight printing without banding and colour deflection. The Fabjet Grand features a proprietary AIVC technology for consistent print performance by maintaining constant jetting conditions even in varying environmental conditions and offers excellent print life with vivid eye-catching long-life colours for unique and richly finished fabric.

It has an automated feed and a take-up system, synchronised with tension bars for long unattended print runs on various types of fabric. It operates via a pneumatics control-based tension-bar on media feed and take-up, to ensure consistent tension on fabric and adjusts automatically based on the type of fabrics being used. The Fabjet Grand also has an automatic wiping system which wipes excess ink and dust from the print head surface. The Capping Station prevents inks from drying inside the print head when printer is not in use for a long time and also protects the head from accumulating dust.

It is equipped with advanced colour management engine and colour processing tools, which ensures faster processing of files leading to saving time and increasing productivity and also has user-friendly and easy to use colour controls to manage colours. There are advanced dither patterns for photo-realistic output, fully customised printer settings for enhanced print results, smoother gradations and vibrant colours for superior print quality and inbuilt ICC profiles for various media and print modes.

“Colorjet is the only manufacturer that offers and sells machines as a solution, along with RIP colour management, ink usage, ICC profile and training for application development or various applications that a machine can be used for across different markets,” says Gupta.

True to its vision towards continued growth and development, the company constantly updates its product roadmap in an effort to directly connect with its end users while also valuing feedback given by its service engineers and sales team. Colorjet also has a highly trained technical team for after sales requirements. The company operates through two manufacturing facilities located in India and China and sales offices spread across seven countries, which include China, Sri Lanka, UAE and India. To-date, Colorjet has installed and implemented 3,750 of its printing solutions and products across 315 cities around the world backed by a strong 278 member team, of which almost 100 are in technical related functions.
