Printing with nanotechnology-based inks

Published On: April 1, 2010

Xennia Technology, a subsidiary of Royal Ten Cate, Almelo, The Netherlands, recently demonstrated a process of printing with nanotechnology-based inks that add function to textile substrates. Xennia markets the digital print engines, software, ink systems and special inks; Reggiani Macchine, Bergamo, Italy, will design, build, sell and service machinery that makes use of the new process. A production version of a continuous textile printing machine will be ready before the end of 2010.
