“KIWA-JET” is an inkjet ink to which we gather rich knowledge and experience developed over many years.
The type of dye is decided depending on the material to be dyed.
“KIWA-JET” selects the most suitable dye for inkjet ink by considering the hue, density, various fastnesses, and stability over time for each type.
Development by inkjet print head manufacturers and inkjet printer manufacturers is progressing rapidly. “KIWA-JET” is evolving day by day so that it will not be left behind by new inkjet print heads and new inkjet printers.
Inkjet printing using sublimation transfer inks for polyester is widely used.The reason why everyone choose sublimation ink is that the dying process is relatively easy.
It’s possible to simplify the equipment to dye because sublimation ink dye polyester in dry heat.
Another feature is that no waste liquid is generated in the dyeing process, and it is attracting worldwide attention as an environmentally friendly waterless dyeing method.
“KIWA-JET” Sublimation ink is not only friendly to environment but also customers.
Sublimation ink is composed of disperse dyes, dispersant, humectant, and water.Among these, humectant has a great influence on the jetting stability, and generally the higher the content, the higher the jetting stability.
The humectant does not evaporate at room temperature.
But there were some cases that agents volatilized due to heating and polluted customer’s workplace.
In order to solve this problem and make it possible for customers to use ink at ease, while ensuring output stability is a top priority, we chose humectant and drastically reduced the amount.
Not only textiles are dyed.It’s possible to dye films whose material is polyester.
