The new Rhotex 322 was only launched at this year’s FESPA and it seems to be the answer to Next Printing growing textile business which they have been growing for the last two years.
Already with an armoury of 2 dedicated ATP textiles machines and a third UV machine mainly producing exhibition and retail textile banners and a little bit of trade work, Next are gearing for the future with this Rhotex installation.
General manager, Romeo Sanuri claims the company is currently producing on average about 300-400 square metres of printed textile per day with a growing demand for textile banners in preference to vinyl.
According to local agents Photo Electronic Services who will do the install in January, the Rhotex 322 is the most productive soft signage industrial inkjet printer on the market and it is capable of printing up to 140 m² per hour at 1200 dpi resolution in 6 colours. Furthermore, the unrivalled print quality, with a drop size of 7 – 21 picolitres, is not compromised by speed, thanks to the latest Durst Quadro Array level 3 greyscale printhead technology.
The water based dispersed dye inks inks used in the Rhotex 322 are environmentally friendly, recyclable and disposable. The dyes are harmless to the skin, completely odour free and produce no VOCs. In addition, the dyes, followed by calendaring, also provide bright, vibrant colours.
The machine is capable of running 24/7 operation with unattended printing, whilst its advanced software maximises workflow. The automatic, self-cleaning jet system is also another factor contributing to its capability of continuous industrial printing.
