Printer Unveiling Marks Expansion of Company’s Growing Modular DTF Program; Products Will Be On Display at ISA Booth #2641 May 4-6, 2022
BOCA RATON, Fla. – STS Inks, a global leader in the wide format, industrial and household inkjet markets, announced today that it will debut a 64-inch dual-head Mutoh DTF printer at the annual ISA International Sign Expo 2022, taking place in Atlanta, GA, May 4-6, 2022. Complemented by a 44-Inch Oven Shaker Unit, the new printer and STS Inks’ expanding modular DTF Program will be on display at booth #2641.
STS Inks DTF System, which is the only one of its kind, was created to make it easy and cost-effective to quickly create custom t-shirts. In 2021, the company launched its revolutionary Direct-to-Film modular system. Mutoh, a leading manufacturer of wide format printers, developed the STS program.
While the centerpiece of the STS Inks DTF system is a compact printer that measures 24” and is built to fit onto a table-top or rolling stand in any size print shop, the new STS/MUTOH XPJ 1682D 64” DTF Printer has been added to the program to fill a gap in the marketplace. The staggered dual head design ensures high quality printing, even at reduced resolution, while producing fast print speeds.
The new STS/MUTOH printer has SAI’s Flexi DTF Pro Edition RIP Software, bundled with Flexi DTF Pro Editor. The XPJ-1682D features automatic bi-directional alignments and a user-friendly touch screen. It also has enhanced LED lighting and a media feed flange which allows users to quickly load media and exchange multiple rolls. These features simplify operation, increase productivity and reduce maintenance. They also ensure high quality output and production. The XPJ-1682D is paired with STS Inks’ DTF ink, which offers users excellent color gamut and outstanding durability.
“We’re excited to give attendees at ISA a first-look at the STS/MUTOH XPJ 1682D 64” DTF Printer and have the opportunity to try out our entire DTF program,” said Shahar Turgeman, who founded STS Inks in 1999. “We have had an incredible response to the modular DTF system since its launch and we look forward to continuing to expand our DTF options and capabilities to meet the growing needs of the industry.”
DTF offers many advantages over traditional DTG (Direct to Garment) technology. This is limited to pre-treated cotton fabrics and wears much faster. DTF can print onto cotton, silk, denim, nylon and 50/50 blended fabrics. DTF can be used on both white and dark textiles. Users can choose between a matte or glossy finish. DTF doesn’t require any cutting or weeding. It creates sharp edges and images and requires no technical printing knowledge.
STS Inks created its DTF packages and programs in order to make it easier than the alternatives currently available. It spent a lot of time researching and creating pairing components that are simple to set up and use straight out of the box. It has created a user experience that is completely free from aggravation. This is unlike equipment that can often require multiple, frustrating calibrations or tweaking after arrival. STS Inks provides unparalleled service and reliability, especially when compared with the challenges of repairing malfunctioning converted printers, refurbished printers, or printers shipped from abroad. These printers are more difficult to repair because they aren’t easily accessible.
STS Inks launched the industry’s first-ever fluorescent inks for DTF printing in December 2021. New inks were introduced by STS Inks to print true-to-life DTF photos. They include light magenta DTF inks and light cyan DTFinks. These inks deliver better gradients and precise colors. STS Inks is a well-respected brand for high quality inks that are compatible with large format printers of all major brands. STS Inks DTF Inks are high-color density, broad-color gamut, and exceptional color saturation. They can also be printed head-safe with nano pigment + encapsulated resin.
STS Inks can be used in a variety of applications. They are non-toxic and eco-friendly. STS Inks come in CMYK, white, and other colors. They are made in the USA and go through rigorous testing.
