Rhotex 320
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.Many printers are able to print graphics onto polyester, most using environmentally harmful solvent-based inks, others using water-based inks in small cartridges capable of only minimal run lengths. These printers are not designed for continuous industrial operation.

Rhotex 320
key features |
|
The Durst Rhotex 320 is the first printer for the Industrial Soft Signage printing sector.
The Rhotex is a true industrial printer, its robust design and reliability provides 24/7 operation and unattended printing. It is equipped with the most professional software for maximising workflow in the digital printing sector. This enables quality printing in the POS/POP range using MEMS technology piezo inkjets with high longevity and the ability to print up to 70 m2 per hour in 600 dpi resolution in 6 colours.
The Rhotex water-based dispersed dyes all comply with the Blue Wool scale 5-6 and can therefore be used in an outdoor application for up to two years and printing does not affect the textile`s inherent feel.
Other features of the Rhotex include:
- The dispensing system also includes a fold-compensation device and an antistatic system
- Automatic, self-cleaning jet system for continuous industrial printing
- The controllable hot air drying system ensures consistent drying over the whole width of the
printed material
- Material-specific machine settings can be stored and recalled in the media channel
- Integrated, software-controlled servicing instructions
- MIS prepared printing software
- Caldera-RIP software with Adobe Creative Suite 5 integration optimises file handling and allows for
continuous upgrading in line with new printing requirements
Rhotex has provided new and profitable business opportunities in LF printing. It enables the printing of textiles for use in the home, wallcoverings, domestic textiles and interior desßign, as well as fashion applications.
