Central to its offering at Heimtextil will be SunTex Encore, its range of direct print water-based pigment inks, which present significant advantages for a range of soft furnishings and interior décor print applications.

SunTex Encore

SunTex Encore is offered as a multi-colour ink set that combines CMYK, red, green, blue and grey to give a clean and bright colour gamut, which is attractive for pigmented textile inkjet inks. SunTex Encore also delivers excellent adhesion to a wide range of substrates including natural and synthetic textile fabrics such as cotton, viscose, silk and poly-cottons. In addition, its excellent wash and wet-rub resistance as well as its high levels of durability to colour and light fading makes SunTex Encore particularly suited to the printing of a wide range of soft furnishings and interior décor applications.

This highly versatile ink benefits from the cost-efficient and flexible production capabilities of inkjet print technology, which eliminates the need for additional and complex post treatment processes. This increases output, reduces additional finishing costs and also allows for the cost effective production of bespoke or personalised applications as well as enabling smaller print runs to take advantage of changing fashion and seasonal trends.

Other products within the SunTex textile inks portfolio on display on the Sun Chemical stand at Heimtextil 2017 will include: SunTex Sonata - a series of dye sublimation transfer inks and disperse-dye direct print inks for polyester and polyester-rich substrates; and SunTex Concerto RDE - a range of reactive dye inks for direct printing onto natural fabrics such as cotton, viscose, silk and wool.
