Roland DGA, Irvine, Calif., has announced that its parent company, Roland DG Corp. has received OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification for inkjet printing on polyester fabric with the company’s Texart SBL3 sublimation inks and Texart RT-640 dye-sublimation printer.
The Nissenken Quality Evaluation Center certification assures that this technology is safe for use in the production of a wide variety of sublimated items, including products for babies and toddlers.
OEKO-TEX is an independent certification system for testing the safety of textile materials and chemicals at every stage of production, from raw materials to end products. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 is divided into four classes based on human ecological requirements, with Class I being the most difficult to achieve.
Roland’s Texart SBL3 ink and the RT-640 dye-sublimation printer were both launched in October 2014. This was followed by the introduction of Texart transfer paper this past March. The Texart RT-640 printer incorporates a host of technological advancements that optimize sublimation transfer output while minimizing running costs, according to the company.
