DS Series

Introducing a high resolution system which is more ecologically friendly and provides more efficient operation as compared to traditional sublimation transfer systems.

a
a
High, sharp print quality
Direct printing provides fine lines and sharp edges compared to using transfer systems.
a
Environmental-friendly
No need to use transfer paper.
a
Reduced cost
This system requires no transfer paper or liner paper. Its running costs are much lower than the cost of traditional transfer systems.
a
Improved efficiency of operation
The system avoids cockling of printed transfer paper and mistakes made by wrinkling transfer paper when transferring the ink onto fabric.
a
Equipped with media take-up device and media feeder with a dancer roller
The tension bar moves up and down to adjust for correct feeding. Allows continuous operation.

a
Fabric supply mechanism
Fabric supply mechanism
In addition to the drive roller and friction roller, the take-up unit and feeding unit with a dancer roller cause tension in the fabric to prevent it from wrinkling. The fabric retainer holds both edges of the fabric preventing it from touching the print head.
a
Ditch for penetrated ink
Ditch for penetrated ink
In order to prevent ink from penetrating the fabric and marking other fabrics, a ditch is available.

a
High-speed print heads
High-speed print heads
The head configuration employs an array of two staggered print heads.
1-way (single ink set) for fast printing and 2-way (dual ink set) for multipurpose printing are available. In addition both print modes can use either high speed print of 4-color or high quality print of 6-color.
