Digistar Helios is a revolutionary dye-sub ink specifically designed for printing on ChromaLuxe outdoor panels, engineered by JK Group R&D in tandem with ChromaLuxe, the leading manufacturer of the world’s finest metal photo panels. Digistar Helios is revolutionary because it doubles the lifespan of outdoor signage. It boasts an impressive 10+ years of durability when infused into ChromaLuxe outdoor panels coated with a polymer-based substrate. The other benefits include striking colour, depth of the images, extreme durability, and easy printing cleaning.
JK Group and Chromaluxe teams will talk about Digistar Helios printing on ChromaLuxe outdoor panels on Thursday, October 20 from 3:00pm-3:45pm in the Printing United Expo Press Conference Room (Room N247).
JK and MS will also showcase the JP4 Evo working with Digistar K-ONE at their booth. JP4 is a compact scanning machine able to meet today's efficiency targets thanks to its lifespan, easy installation, and low maintenance. The JP4 EVO is the choice for those searching for reliable solution, low running cost and less capital investment.
“The innovation is new products but also being able to respond to the change requirements in real-time. Today, partners profitability is the textile printing industry requirement, and JP4 matches the need,” Stefano Prando, MS global sales director, said in a media release.
The current megatrend is pigment printing, allowing less water and energy consumption. Pigment printing is an easy and waterless process, allowing a sustainable production chain and ensuring cost-effective printing outputs. JK Group (through Kiian Digital brand) is in the third generation of pigment ink: DIGISTAR K-ONE 4.0. The time allows JK to reach top performances in reliability and printability, an indispensable condition of the current printing standards.
"Today's urgency is to respond to the supply chain concerns in terms of sustainability but also cope with supply chain disruption and costs. Pigment printing is one of the answers, and dye-sub printing is the other," explained Claudio Bonfanti, JK Group's global commercial director.
