RUDOLF introduces innovative digital pigment printing toolbox

Wednesday 27. November 2024 - Interest in digital pigment printing is growing because it has the advantage over other printing technologies of eliminating one process step. With pigment printing, there is no need for post- treatment, which means that the water required for post-treatment can be saved.

RUDOLF, a world leader in speciality chemicals, announces a development in digital textile printing with the introduction of its new Digital Pigment Printing Toolbox. Continuous research and development enables RUDOLF to o er products with maximum performance and minimum environmental impact.
Digital pigment printing also o ers remarkable exibility, as designs can be easily adapted and it is applicable to all bre types. To further enhance the quality of pigment printing, pre-treatments are used to improve rub fastness, intensify colours and soften the feel of textiles.
The RUDOLF toolbox consists of di erent pre-treatment products and o ers:
• Sustainability: All products in the toolbox are free from formaldehyde and butanone oxime. In addition, the core product and some combination products are completely free of blocking agents.
• Performance: The products in the toolbox o er di erent e ects: improved rub fastness, colour enhancement and soft touch. The products can be applied to the textile according to the requirements of the speci c e ect.
• Customisation: The toolbox is based on a core product, RUCO-PRINT PXS, which can be combined with any other product in the toolbox to create a tailor-made pretreatment with a variety of e ects.
