EFI Reggiani has introduced its new pigment range named TERRA pigment. The digital printing pigments do not require steam, stenter, or washing and yet provide optimum fixation and washing fastness. EFI Reggiani TERRA solution eliminates the need for steaming or washing on direct-to-textile applications using a greener, more efficient polymerization process that takes place as printed textile goes through the printer’s on-board dryer.
As a result, users can achieve superior printing results while using less time, water, and energy EFI™ Reggiani binder technology delivers an environmentally friendly and short process. The inline polymerization guarantees less water, less energy, and less processing time, no washing, and no steaming needed. Furthermore, excellent fastness properties and high printability sharpness allow printing even the most delicate designs on the broadest range of fabrics.
The TERRA offers superior results, including excellent wet and dry fastness, while using less time, water, and energy are the key benefits of EFI Reggiani TERRA pigment solution. TERRA also provides perfect printing definition and color intensity with an eight-color configuration that includes red, blue, orange, and green inks in addition to the standard cyan, magenta, yellow and black.
The shelf life of the TERRA pigment range is one year. The inks are light sensitive and should be stored away from heat and direct exposure to sunlight. The recommended humidity is 50-60%.
