EFI-Vutek FabriVU 340i+ Dye Sublimation Technology - A Great Choice for Textiles
Arrow Digital Pvt. Ltd, a leader in the Digital Printing Industry, has recently installed the Efi Vutek FabriVU 340i+ at their state-of-the-art Democenter in Ahmedabad.
VUTEk FabriVU 340i+: A revolutionary Dye Sublimation Printer using waterless polyester printing and industrially built technology from EFI Reggiani. FabriVU 340i+ has created a buzz in the soft signage market due to its inline fixation and a complete standalone solution and is now creating wonders in the Textile market too.
Mr. Sam Patel, MD & CEO of Arrow Digital, “we are the leaders in Digital Printing and Finishing and have all the technologies much ahead of our competition. With this new Installation in our Democenter, we will not only dominate the soft signage market but Polyester textiles too.”
Talking about the technology and the pain points of soft signage and textile printing Mr. Sam Patel explains, “Dye Sublimation Process is the easiest and simplest process in textiles. With just two steps, you get the most vibrant colours, which cannot be achieved easily by any other textile technology. In today’s world, being environmentally friendly is not just a preference; it is the need of the hour. With other textile technologies, there is a lot of water waste and discarding this waste is a bigger problem. Moreover, while using dye sublimation technology, there is no need to pre-treat or post-treat the fabric. It eliminates pre and post procedures like finishing: steaming, then followed by open width washing and drying.”
While explaining its features, the Efi-VUTEk FabriVU 340i+ is 3.4 meters wide and offers direct-to-substrate and sublimation printing options. This technology has changed how the colours are mapped and how it lays down ink. It gives better ink density, efficiency, and productivity. It features 8 Kyocera printheads rather than four, doubling the resolution from 300 to 600 dpi, which increases speeds by 48% compared to the earlier models. With the lowest TCO in the market, the highest income yield, and the lowest acquisition cost.
Other new features include a redesigned heat plate that regulates temperature uniformity, improved extraction with less outgassing, and a new flag ink removal kit allowing the system to manage high ink volumes without touching loaded materials. This printer is perfect for all textile materials, including backlit, front-lit, blackback and flag. It can handle both direct transfer and paper sublimation processes. At the same time, the presence of an inline fixation unit negates the need for a separate heat press – saving time, money, and space.
“The VUTEk FabriVU 340i+ printer offers ultra-high resolutions up to 2400 dots per inch (dpi) and three-level grayscale printing with 7, 12, and 18 picolitre drop sizes. Its printheads optimize ink drops with no overlay for smooth transitions and perfect crispness. The result is a dramatic four-colour printing with a wide colour gamut, rich blacks, and deep colour saturation for exceptionally high-quality printing,” said Mr. Sam Patel. “The FabriVU Plus series has a new CMYK x 2 configuration printhead array – along with new electronics, a new vacuum system, and a new heating element which delivers higher quality 600 dpi graphics with better saturation and more density. Its proven inline fixation technology eliminates the need for transfer papers and a separate heat press when printing directly to fabric. It prints with a blazing speed of 5172 ft2/hr. without compromising quality and productivity.”
