Description
Summary:Gradus, its in-line drying system, ensures minimal energy consumption; and because the modular system allows curing and drying all in one, carbon dioxide emissions are reduced. Austria-based Zimmer Austria Inc. - a producer of machines for textile and carpet finishing including digital printing systems, flat and rotary screen printing, coating systems, steaming, washing and drying - showcased the Colaris3 high-performance pretreatment, digital printing and colorant systems for applications that require colorant penetration through the substrate such as carpeting, towels, and plush or heavy automotive and home décor fabrics. Inline preand post-treatment systems can be added to improve print quality and increase ink penetration. The design can be fitted exactly onto the substrate despite of any weft-misalignment or shrinkage from fabric preparation in the pre-print process Advanced Materials As part of the textile industry's current focus on sustainability, vendors continue to ramp up investment in the development of solutions that reduce water, chemical and material waste.
