MS the Italian pioneer in the field of digital textile printing was present at the ITMA show in full force. Established in 1947, the technical solutions from MS are extremely flexible and today MS is the only Italian company capable of supplying a complete solution to textile printing mill, including the whole working cycle. Representing MS Printing Solutions at ITMA, Paolo Milini, Director, MS Printing Solutions informed, “MS and Stork prints have agreed to cooperate on the development and production of digital textile printing systems, including inks and ink supply systems. With Stork’s specialization in digital integration, we together will focus on production of inks, ink supply systems and textile printing applications.”
At the ITMA, MS showcased the JP6 and JPK printers with print-heads from Kyocera. MS showcased video demonstrations of the operation of the continuous, single pass LaRio technology now installed at Tintseta Ink in Como, Italy for printing of silk. The machine operates in the range of 20 to 30 linear metres per minute at Tintseta. The machine has the ability to print at speeds of 75 metres per minute, i.e. more than 8,000 square metres per hour. With this speed more focus is required on the quality of the print and to achieve that more than 6,00,000 nozzles have been installed in LaRio. “The printer is quite cost-effective, as with no cylinder, no engraving and no colour kitchen, the organization saves a substantial amount of money and combined with minimal water and energy consumption, it has been claimed as an innovation bound to take the digital textile printing sector to the next level,” informs Ayush Rathi, Director, MS Orange Technologies, Pvt. Ltd.
