ROQ NOW, which specializes in DTG tee shirt printing (direct-to garment), chose Artistri P6000 Ink Set paired with the pre-treatments and color protection chemistries in the Artistri portfolio of digital inks from DuPont.

Artistri P6000 was designed for digital direct-to garment printing. It can be used for apparel or specialty products. The brilliant aqueous based ink can be used in printers equipped with piezoelectric high viscosity printheads.
Artistri P6000 Series inks are formulated using proprietary DuPont polymer and dispersion technologies and can be used with any industry-standard heat tunnel to cure and dry. Both the ink and the pretreatment have been integrated to create a system which works well together.
“The perfect result of printing with Artistri P6000 Pigment Ink is achieved with the use of DuPont stain-free pretreatment and the color-protect chemistries,” said Gary Weyman, EMEA business leader for DuPont Artistri Digital Inks.
“Using DuPont’s stain-free pre-treatment enables little to no maintenance on the spray nozzles,” added Ross Hunter, president for ROQ US. “ So now printers don’t have to worry about blocked nozzles, and damaged prints. It is a technology that not only makes it easier to print, but gives the garment a more comfortable hand-feel. When combined with the color protector, best-in-class wash fastness is achieved.”
ROQ NOW is the only system that prints white ink without any nozzle blockage, as seen typically with DTG white inks. The white station is able to print with ease using specialized printers and recirculating inks. Artistri DTG Inks in conjunction with CMYK+2 allow printers an extended gamut to produce beautiful prints.
ROQ will also lead the panel “DTF, Screen, and Digital Printing,” on Wednesday and Thursday, from 2:00 pm to 2:45 pm, that will bring industry experts together to discuss and answer audience questions on how these technologies differ from each other and the role they play in the future of apparel decoration. Scott Donovan will be the Americas Sales Manager from DuPont’s Artistri digital inks.
