Printwear & Promotion The Total Promotional Package
Primers and inks for Roland DG’s Texart XT-640S-DTG printer are now Eco Passport by Oeko-Tex certified.
Inks and primers are only awarded the certification after a series of rigorous tests, which dissect if each individual ingredient in the chemical product meets strict conditions. As a result of the certification, the products will now be added to the Oeko-Tex buying guide, the central sourcing platform for pre-certified articles and materials.
Eco Passport is a globally recognised mechanism that guarantees to suppliers of textile chemical colourants and auxiliaries that the chemicals used in the printed image meet regulatory requirements. It means that Roland DG customers including sign, garment, and promotional goods manufacturers can confidently use the printer’s inks and primers in sustainable direct to garment print and production.
Encarna Luque, senior product manager for inks and business development in textile and decoration for Roland DG EMEA, said: “Our customers respect and value this certificate as clear proof of sustainable textile production.
“As the global sustainability effort strengthens, governments, brands and consumers are demanding a higher standard of eco-friendly textile products. Many of our customers have an eco-conscious ethos and it’s imperative that they are able to tell their own clients that the textiles under their production have been made sustainably and meet regulatory demands.
“We are proud to be able to offer certified sustainable inks and primers for the Texart XT-640S-DTG printer, to act in response to our customer’s needs and play an active role in the global effort towards sustainability.”
