Sawgrass Technologies, Mt. Pleasant, S.C., has entered a new distribution agreement with MS Srl., Italy.
Through this new partnership, Sawgrass will supply the full line of MS digital printers as part of an integrated solution for digital textile production.
The MS printer line runs at print speeds ranging from 1,670 square feet per hour on the JP-4 model to up to 246 meters per minute on the La Rio. In response to the technical challenge of printing at these speeds, Sawgrass developed new specialized dye-sublimation and pigment inks with patented rheology modified ink (RMI) technology. These inks provide the finest image quality and highest reliability ever achieved with industrial digital textile production on this scale, according to the company.
Sawgrass offers the RMI technology in its SubliM K+ dye-sublimation inks (for use with transfer paper), SubliM Direct K+ inks (direct-to-fabric printing for polyesters) and M-XTR pigment inks (natural and synthetic fabric printing).
