Inkjet Technology, Inc. (ITI) has introduced the TX3200 textile printer, a 126-in. machine capable of printing on both textile fabrics and dye-sublimation transfer paper. The TX3200 features an internal vacuum mechanism engineered to securely hold down thin paper to prevent wrinkling, and an ink collection gutter assembly for polyester and mesh textiles.

ITI reports the printer’s ink properties are similar to disperse dyes for direct printing and dye-sub ink for transfer paper printing; ink is delivered via 5-L bulk-ink system. The TX3200 can be configured with four or eight printheads for speeds up to 1000 sq ft/hr.

An inline IR heat transfer sublimation unit is optional.
