Stork Prints is a global leader in the textile and graphics
printing market, providing total system solutions
from screens, lacquers, inks and digital engraving to a
broad range of rotary screen and digital printing systems.
It made several new introductions in both digital
equipment and consumables at ITMA 2011.
The new digital textile printer Sphene is designed to
print on Polyamide Lycra swimwear fabric using acid
inks. It can realise print speeds of up to an amazing 555
m²/hr, while its feeding system allows virtually any fabric
imaginable to be used, at widths of up to 1.85 metres.
The Pegasus EVO manages to combine excellent print
quality with exceptional efficiency and flexibility in operation.
Its sophisticated and flexible squeegee system
gives brilliant colours in the widest range of applications
for halftones, fine lines and blotches.
It also offers the most precise registration in the market.
Through a combination of a unique paste recovery
technology, the use of a blade squeegee, a superior drying
process and an intelligent waste water recycling system,
the EVO can save in excess of Euro 80,000, every
year, in running costs.
Yet it still manages to offer the flexibility today’s
textile printers are looking for. For example, it accepts
blade-, air-flow and magnet squeegees, and can
be equipped with integrated coating & finishing technology
to enable production of many different types of
coated fabric.
Moreover, the machine can also offer superb value for
customers by retrofitting the new EVO upper part onto
the existing RD 4, RDD and RD 8 frames. Customers
can enjoy the advantages of individual drive, using the
existing infrastructure and foundation of their machine.
