ColorJet, arguably India's largest manufacturer of textile printing machines with exports to 38 countries across the world, launched its Earth series machine at the ITME exhibition held at the India Expo Centre in Greater Noida from 8 – 13 December 2022. 

“It is a solution that will help you to save approximately 98% water and it runs on all natural and cotton-based fibers. The fabric goes into a roll form and we can print digitally on it. After polymerization at 160 degrees, it is ready to use with a decent wash fastness,” Smarth Bansal, GM, brand/product management at Colorjet, said.

“We launched the machine and saw a lot of traction. We had visitors from Vardhman, Trident and many big companies from across India, and a lot of foreign visitors as well,” Bansal said.

The Metro NXT is a reactive machine with 32 industrial grade Kyocera print heads, which can deliver sharp quality output of 5,000-6,000 square meters a day. The SublyXpress Plus prints on paper, which is then transferred onto polyester.

The VastraJet direct is the most successful Colorjet model in India with more than 400 machines running in the subcontinent. It works on pigment reactive, disperse and acid inks, which can print on all kinds of fabrics whether natural, polyester based or blends.

“The machines that we make are very efficiently built to make sure that the water, energy and time are reduced. If other machines use 100 liters of water, we use 20 liters of water in the same green technologies because of the recirculation system that filters the water,” explains Bansal.

Satnam Textile, GK Textiles, Mulberry Silks from Mangalore, and Guru Prasad from Ludhiana are some of Colorjet's main clients. The company has customers in Varanasi, Surat, Ludhiana, Amritsar, Tirupur, Bangalore and other parts of India. Overseas, it has customers in Brazil, Germany, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Pakistan. One of its customers in Germany is Shirty, a print-on-demand solution that employs VastraJet on pigment inks.

Bansal said that the textile printing market, which is only 4-5% today, has the scope to reach 25%. “This means a huge demand for textile printing machines. Look at the government movement in PM Mitra (mega integrated textile region and apparel) parks. They are creating 1,000 acre textile townships, which will have the whole process – from spinning to weaving to printing to buying to garmenting – at one place. Keeping in mind sustainability, they have to move on to digital printing. In digital, you don't need to create 10,000 meters in one time; you can create 100 designs of 100 meters each. That's the beauty of digital printing.”

Colorjet is highlighting the Roland VersaUV series at one of its stands at the 15th Printpack. Present at the show in three different halls, Colorjet has displayed the VersaUV LEC2-330 printer and cutter and VersaUV LEF2 direct to object UV-LED flatbed printers at one of its stands.

The VersaUV LEC2-330 can print, cut, diecut, perforate, varnish and emboss on a single device, on-demand. “The machine can be used for packaging prototypes and premium labels,” says Priya Dwivedi of Colorjet. The machine offers dual CMYK options or CMYK with white and gloss ink for 3D textures, simulated embossing and spot finishes. The VersaUV LEF2 series in for photo segment as well as packaging.

Colorjet has had a great Printpack and expects some good deals to follow. “The concerns regarding the pandemic are over and printers are now confident of investing in new machines. We expect to close 35 to 40 deals by the end of Printpack.”

Indian Printer and Publisher met with Smarth Bansal, general manager of Colorjet, at Media Expo 2021 from 18 to 20 November in Greater Noida. We asked about the company’s experience at the exhibition, the first after the Covid-19 pandemic and about the technology-driven printers displayed at its stand.

Bansal said, “After the pandemic situation, we are very excited to be here at the exhibition. The visitor footfall is enormous, and we can find genuine buyers with a smiling face.” He showed us and spoke about the machines displayed, the Vulcan Prime 1.6 meter wide UV roll-to-roll printer and the SoniQ HQ Plus 3.2 meter wide ultra-high quality eco-solvent printer using the printhead of Konica Minolta and Ricoh.

Colorjet's USP for digital printers

The USP of the Vulcan Prime and SoniQ HQ Plus printers is that they are dual-use devices for producing output for the signage and interior design industries. They can print at up to 2,400 dpi resolution with UV inks and curing to ensure immediate drying and snipping production time. Camouflage printing technology for next-generation signage was developed using a combination of ColorJet UV printing machines with advanced print head technology, UV curable inks, and a unique printer controller software.

The SoniQ HQ Plus eco-solvent printer is claimed by Colorjet to be an excellent blend for indoor and outdoor signage output solutions. It works at high speed of 915 square feet an hour and supports a 4-color CMYK option. It is also an excellent solution for a large variety of eco-solvent applications, including canvas, fabric, PVC banners, self-adhesive vinyl and window films.

As Colorjet has been in the wide format industry for the past 25 years and manufacturing digital printers for a long time, its machines are precision engineered and rugged so that they can last for ten years. With the used of color management the color output of the company’s printers has a large color gamut and generally shows good images with photo-realism. The company is planning to expand its range of printers for extending its applications and to build more printers with higher speeds and in a larger choice of sizes.

Bansal concluded our conversation by giving a message to the show visitors, “This is the right time for the industry to open up. As many changes have taken place due to the pandemic situation, the business owners are planning to be a part of the economic recovery by examining the technological advancements on show and to align their investments with future business prospects as the economy recovers.”
