The launch of the Fabjet Grand which is available in four models in different heads and colour options signals the company’s move towards capturing the market for customised digital textile printers across the globe. This machine is the perfect solution to print directly on various types of fabric for short run and customised designs printing for the home furnishing business and is also an excellent industrial solution for mass production of home furnishing textiles. 

The Fabjet Grand is targeted at the customised home furnishing textile segment, particularly for producers of home décor products like curtains, bed covers and sofa covers, which are directly printed on cotton and polyester-based fabrics and use environmental friendly aqueous based pigment inks.

Mr. Pavan Gupta, Director, Colorjet India Ltd., said: “End users are looking for a unique style in home interiors. They can use something they have designed, a photographic image that they like or a specialty look that doesn’t come from a stock wall covering. The immediacy of digital printing is what’s appealing for creating custom furniture or drapery pieces. Digitally printed fabrics are much in demand as set-up here time is shorter than screening, and any changes can be made quickly.

The printer delivers high productivity, since it has two heads per colour in staggered position, which increases production and also has an extremely high practical printing speed, enabling high daily printing volumes and outstanding runability for overnight printing without banding and colour deflection.

The Fabjet Grand features a proprietary AIVC technology for consistent print performance by maintaining constant jetting conditions even in varying environmental conditions, and offers excellent print life with vivid eye-catching long-life colours for unique and richly finished fabric.
It has an automated feed and a take-up system, synchronised with tension bars for long unattended print runs on various types of fabric. It operates via a pneumatics control-based tension-bar on media feed and take up, to ensure consistent tension on fabric and adjusts automatically based on the type of fabrics being used.
