M&R Printing Equipment, Inc. has announced the release of the POLARIS S4 Pretreat Unit, powered by Xaar’s inkjet technology, as part of M&Rs POLARIS S4 Industrial DTG Platform.
According to M&R, the POLARIS S4 Industrial DTG Platform “sets an industry standard for the newest generation of garment decoration technology. Designed to handle a sophisticated array of automation needs and quality requirements, the S4 Pretreat Unit digitally delivers pretreat chemistry exactly where it is needed behind each print.”
Per M&R, each pretreat is not only digitally targeted, but the density and amount of each pretreat is controlled “garment-to-garment” via the system’s integrated workflow software, a “breakthrough that allows for a wider range of fabric types, construction and colors to be explored without fear of “boxing” or UV staining associated with other pretreat solutions.”
According to M&R CEO Danny Sweem, “The release of the POLARIS S4 Digital Pretreat Unit revolutionizes direct-to-garment production by offering more garment options, better print quality and a streamlined production process…Our valued partnership with Xaar has uniquely expanded the capabilities of the M&R POLARIS S4 Industrial DTG Platform in a bold new way. With Xaar as our technology partner, we are excited to work together to develop the future of garment decoration for many years to come.”
“Xaar’s technology is driving transformation across numerous industries, and we are delighted that our innovative technology and long-standing expertise enabled us to complete this project with M&R in record time,” said Xaar CEO Johns Mills. “The POLARIS S4 exemplifies the power of collaboration across the industry and the major progress it can achieve.”
