SPGPrints debuts new NEBULA Acid HD inks for swimwear, silk and wool applications

Wednesday 03. August 2016 - SPGPrints launches its new range of NEBULA Acid HD (High Density) inks.

High density colour for swimwear and silks
The NEBULA Acid HD inks, which can be used with any printer using Kyocera print heads, are a whole new formulation, developed and produced by SPGPrints, offering increased colour depth and improved runnability. The new ink range is ideal for Polyamide (PA) Lycra swimwear, luxury silk items like fashion scarves and neck ties, and wools.
NEBULA Acid HD inks meet all industry standards for colour and water-fastness, and the specifications for all major swimwear manufacturers. NEBULA Acid HD inks will be available from September 2016, initially in CMYK, orange, red, blue and grey.
The new inks receive their global debut at Febratex 2016 (Hall 1, Stand 18), 9-12 August, Parque Vila Germanica, Blumenau, Santa Catarina, Brazil.
Commentating on the launch of the inks, Jos Notermans, commercial manager digital textiles, SPGPrints, said:
“The swimwear industry puts high demands on textile printers with requirements for high performance, enduring bright colours, and complex designs with increasingly fine detail. NEBULA Acid HD inks rise to that challenge, setting a new benchmark for inks for active-wear.”
“These inks are such a major step forward in their chemistry that SPGPrints will be phasing out its current acid ink range. However, we will support customers making the transition, and help them recalibrate their colour profiles to run the new high density inks.”
