STS Inks introduced its DTF series printers to the Printing United Expo. Built with advanced Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing capabilities, the Japanese-made 1682D 64” DTF Printer provides a staggered dual-head design that provides ultra-fast print speeds and is coupled with the STS 48” automatic shaker for increased workflows and processing speeds.
STS also revealed the features of its exclusive STS Inks XPD-724D, which will be available in January 2023. The debut features improved operation and maintenance that make it easy to use and produce high quality output.
The increased performance properties are associated with the built-in whiteink circulation system, which permits for the unimpeded flow and free movement of ink directly into the print head. This allows for optimal results. Both the 1682D and upcoming XPD-724D pair with STS’s DTF ink, which offers users excellent color gamut and outstanding durability.
“We’re thrilled to be introducing the 1682D and 48” STS Automatic shaker to market along with our debut of the upcoming XPD-724D at the Printing United Expo, whose audience is comprised of top industry leaders who will appreciate the advanced capabilities of this ground-breaking DTF system,” said Shahar Turgeman, who founded STS Inks in 1999.
DTF is a better option than traditional DTG technology (Direct-to Garment), which only works with pre-treated cotton and can wear faster. DTF can be printed onto silk, cotton, non-treated fabrics, polyester, nylon, leather and 50/50 blendeds. The DTF can be used on dark and white textiles. Users have the option to select either a matte, or glossy finish.
