Rhotex 320

The only inkjet printer in the


industrial soft signage sector

In recent years, there has been a great increase


in the digital printing of textile promotional
media. Whether it’s for flags, banners or
wallcoverings, market research predicts that this
is going to increase by more than 50% year on
year between now and 2014.

There is much in favour of using textile media


as an advertising material, firstly, environmental
protection. Polyester fabrics printed with Rhotex
water-based dispersed dye inks are entirely
environmentally friendly, recyclable and
disposable. The dyes are harmless to the skin,
completely odour-free and produce no VOCs.
Other advantages of textiles include: lightness
of weight, foldable and less storage space,
ease of assembly (particularly in the form of
cladding over 3-D frames), modern, reusable,
flame-retardant and will provide bright, vibrant
colours when tinted with Rhotex dispersed dyes
followed by calendering.

polyester, most using environmentally harmful Other features of the Rhotex include:

longevity and the ability to print up to 70 m² per
hour in 600 dpi resolution in 6 colours.

therefore be used in an outdoor application for
up to two years and printing does not affect the
textile’s inherent feel.
