font size: 【S】 【M】 【L】

In an effort to meet customer demand for more sophisticated and decorative swimwear prints and lingerie fabrics, as well as to speed up response and custom design times for shorter runs, Hyosung Corp., Korea, now offers swimwear and lingerie fabrics made with creora® spandex printed using Wilmington, Del.-based DuPont Imaging Technologies’ DuPont™ Artistri™ 2020 printer. The printer offers direct-to-fabric printing on an array of woven and knitted fabrics, including spandex — up to 1.8 meters wide.

“We believe customers will be impressed with the quality and hand of the fabrics printed with Artistri,” said Greg Vas Nunes, president, Europe and the Americas, Hyosung. “The combination of our innovation in creora spandex in fabric and the Artistri acid dye ink provide outstanding washfastness, durability and exceptional color penetration properties, making it ideal for the intimate apparel and swimwear markets.”

In other news, DuPont Imaging Technologies has appointed England-based Brook International as a marketing partner for the DuPont Artistri printing system. Brook provides print-ready polyester fabrics for DuPont Artistri 2020 and 3320 digital textile printers. Fabric end-uses include banners, flags, signage and in-store displays, as well as other graphic applications.
