The new range is suitable for fashion apparel, sportswear and flag and banner applications, according to the company.

“ElvaJet Punch delivers the ultimate sublimation printing performance for polyester textile decoration, offering our customers maximum colour performance combined with industrial reliability,” commented Dr Christophe Bulliard, Sensient’s Marketing Director.

Colour vibrancy

The ElvaJet Punch range of digital textile inkjet inks is designed to achieve the highest quality sublimation polyester fabric printing using both coated and uncoated transfer papers, delivering unsurpassed colour vibrancy and printing performance.

Sensient has designed a specific set, ElvaJet Punch EP, for use on all types of Epson-based systems, including both Epson DX- and Epson TFP-based printers.

“With the recent acquisition of Xennia Technology, Sensient has expanded its product range and increased its innovation scope and power. ElvaJet Punch is the first fruit of that innovation, and we expect to launch further new products over the coming months,” said Dr Bulliard.

Combination of benefits

“In benchmark testing against other market inks ElvaJet Punch shows superior colour vibrancy and gamut, enhanced transfer efficiency from a wide range of coated and uncoated sublimation papers and exceptional jetting performance. The ink is also ideal for direct printing onto fabrics, with no image bleed and good print-through. Such a combination of benefits makes a compelling case for switching to this premium ink,” said Dr Bulliard.

Sensient Imaging Technologies S.A. is a business unit of Sensient Technologies Corporation, a leading manufacturer and marketer of colours, flavours and fragrances.
