“We are very pleased that the Nissenken Quality Evaluation Center has awarded our dye sublimation printing technology the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, product class I. We developed Texart ink and the RT-640 for a wide range of textile decoration applications, including sports and fashion apparel, curtains and other interior décor as well as promotional goods and personalized gifts,” says Yuko Maeda, division president of digital printing, market development for Roland DG.

He adds: “The OEKO-TEX certification provides not only an endorsement for our efforts to pursue environmentally-safe digital printing, but provides an important decision-making tool for our customers to better meet the needs of end users.”

The certification includes Roland DG’s Texart ink, which is used with the Texart RT-640—just one of the printers distributed by Grafityp. The Texart ink, described by Maeda as ‘one of the RT-640’s major innovations’, is available in four and eight colour versions.

Maeda continues: “Previously, colors printed on sublimated fabrics could look faded with dull blacks, missing grays and fuzzy details. The RT-640’s variable droplet technology in combination with Texart ink displays bold, vibrant colors and rich velvety blacks, as well as subtle gradations and fine details.”
