DuPont Artistri, a renowned leader in the field of digital inkjet inks, is revolutionizing the
world of digital textile printing with its latest innovation, the Artistri P1600 direct-to-film (DTF)
pigment inks. This breakthrough product was officially launched at the prestigious ITMA
2023 event in Milan, Italy, showcasing the future of vibrant color in the digital printing
industry.
The Artistri P1600 inks have been meticulously developed to cater to the needs of DTF
printers who demand exceptional print quality and vibrant, consistent colors across a variety
of fabric types.
Tucker Norton, General Manager for DuPont Artistri Digital Inks, said, “With Artistri P1600
DTF inks, garment decorators will not only benefit from brightly printed fabrics, but these
water-based inks can help contribute to their sustainability initiatives. P1600 inks were
formulated using safer by design principles to assess and evaluate any potential
environmental risks, are classified as non-hazardous under GHS and are HAPS (hazardous
air pollutants) free. All this is possible through DuPont’s extensive ink formulation know-how,
in combination with our best-in-class product stewardship and manufacturing to offer a
compatible and reliable product that takes the quality of DTF printing to the next level.”
At ITMA 2023, visitors had the opportunity to witness the impressive print performance of
Artistri water-based inks. Collaborative demonstrations took place at the ColorJet booth,
allowing attendees to experience the capabilities of these inks firsthand. Additionally, the
Artistri stand showcased an array of captivating print design samples from esteemed
partners such as BYDi and ROQ, further highlighting the immense potential of Artistri inks.
Gary Weyman, EMEA Business Leader for DuPont Artistri Digital Inks, added, “Digital
printing with pigment inks is gaining more space in textile printing due to minimal water
usage which means a lower environmental footprint as it doesn't require steaming and
washing steps in the printing process. It is our mission to develop ink innovations that
support sustainability in textile printing and, since our pigment inks are granted the Oeko-
Tex Eco Passport certification with ZDHC MRSL Conformance Level 3, it helps enable safer
work environments for textile printers. DuPont’s new ink developments strengthen our
commitment to pigment inks as the sustainable choice and as our vision for the future of
digital textile printing.”
In addition to the Artistri P1600 DTF inks, DuPont also showcased its product lineup for
direct-to-garment (DTG) and roll-to-roll (RTR) printing. Among the featured products were
the highly acclaimed Artistri P5500 pigment DTG inks. The RTR ink range included the
Artistri P2700 and P3600 pigment inks, as well as the Artistri S1500 and S2500 dye
sublimation inks, catering to the diverse needs of the digital printing industry.
The launch of the Artistri P1600 direct-to-film pigment inks further solidifies the company’s
position as a global leader in the industry, shaping the future of digital printing one vibrant
hue at a time.
