Abstract

At the international trade fair DRUPA 2024, various innovations in printing technology were showcased. Among the presented technologies, Inkjet was the most prominent, finding applications across multiple industrial sectors, including printing textile materials. This paper will describe high-productivity Inkjet machines specialized for textile printing manufactured by Konica Minolta, DURST, and EFI. These three multi-color models, equipped with different piezo Inkjet heads and integrated pre- and post-treatment systems, achieve impressive production speeds of 1,470 m²/h, 6,400 m²/h, and 828 m²/h. They are single-pass rotary machines with roll widths exceeding 2 meters, specifically the Konica Minolta NASSENGER SP-1, Durst Alfa 330, and EFI Reggiani HYPER ReNOIR 340 models.
