New Monna Lisa Evo Tre 16

Those who are engaged in digital textile printing have closely examined the new Monna Lisa Evo Tre 16; which performed especially pigment printing at the EPSON booth. Expanding the Monna Lisa series, this new digital textile printer was developed by Epson, F.lli Robustelli and For.Tex (both belonging to Epson group) for high-quality wide format printing.

Designed by the engineering company F.lli Robustelli in collaboration with Epson, this digital printer has Epson PrecisionCore technology, the standard for high-quality digital printing also applied in the textile industry. The new Mona Lisa Evo Tre with 16 print heads for 8 colors can work with acid, reactive, disperse and pigment inks. Compatible with a highly versatile and ever-evolving textile market; the printer makes it possible to produce three different print heights while combining high productivity and high quality.

Monna Lisa Evo Tre 16 was shown with a pigment printing application which is strongly potential growing on the market. While pigment printing makes the process more economic; it also provides environmentally friendly benefits because it does not require steaming and washing.

In the wide-format digital printing market, textile products show the biggest growth figures. According to a recent study by MarketsandMarkets; digital textile printing market will rise from $ 1.76 billion in 2018 to $ 3.21 billion in 2023. Among the reasons for success are the ever-increasing quality of new techniques and materials; the ease of digital production for small samples, and the increased demand for solutions with less environmental impact.
