2021: Textile printer Nassenger 10e with the option of recycling water for cleaning the kirza

On September 28, 2021, Konica Minolta introduced an updated model of the Nassenger 10e textile printer.

According to the information company, Nassenger 10e increases the speed of printing in each mode by 10% due to the optimization of the movement of the carriage with print heads. The additional possibility of automatic adjustment of the printhead cleaning system increases the total performance in individual modes up to 14-16% of the nominal. When working with Nassenger 10e, the operator selects print modes according to a variety of specific work needs, the need to ensure production in a short time, obtain a print with increased clarity of reproduction of small parts and ink permeability.

To reduce the impact on the environment, the option of recycling water for kirza treatment has been released, which allows, according to Konica Minolta, to reduce wastewater discharge by 90%. This feature is also available for installed Nassenger 10 printer models. The Nassenger RC remote monitoring system visualizes provides the operational status of Nassenger printers and sends it to engineers over the network Internet at any remote point, which significantly improves the overall availability of the printer and reduces time downtime in the event of a failure.

2018: Nassenger Solutions Presentation

On September 5, 2018, Konica Minolta introduced Nassenger solutions for digital fabric printing. A line of printing machines for Nassenger fabrics was introduced, both a scanning type model and a single-pass model.

The entry-level machine is the Nassenger Pro 120, which has 9 print heads and prints at a speed of up to 120 square meters. m fabric per hour. According to the manufacturer, this is the only machine from Konica Minolta that can use all types of ink, including pigment, up to 9 colors.

Nassenger 8 - a machine that allows printing up to 240 square meters. m per hour - Konica Minolta offers enterprises where up to 1000 square meters. m fabrics of one design. It uses, in the basic embodiment, 16 print heads with an expansion of up to 36 and up to 9 ink colors.

The Nassenger 10 is designed for industries where batches of fabric reach 3000 square meters. m., 72 printing heads are installed in the machine with the ability to expand to 81 and ink of 9 colors is also used.

Nassenger SP-1 - a single-pass machine with a capacity of up to 6400 square meters. m per hour, replaces the rotary machine of classical technology. SP-1s can be available in several versions - with a print width of 1600 mm or 1830 mm and from 4 to 8 colors.

Konica Minolta supplies ink for various types of fabrics that are digitally colored. The first group is natural plant fabrics based on cotton and flax. For them, Konica Minolta supplies active ink. For protein tissues (wool and silk) and for polyamide or nylon - acidic. For polyester fabrics, disperse ink is intended for direct printing. There are also pigment inks that allow printing in all types of fabric, but they have a visible limitation: low saturation, poor resistance to mechanical effects and washing. Konica Minolta emphasized that if the task is to achieve high paint resistance, it is necessary to use the type of ink and the process that is recommended for a particular type of fabric.

"In order to paint the natural substrate, it must first be chemically processed, then the image is applied to the inkjet printer, and after that - a very important process of" vision "in special" brewing machines "in which the chemical connection between the dye and the base fibers takes place. Therefore, there is not enough printer alone to digitally dye fabrics. Each type has its own recipe for both chemical processing and the post-print "vision" process. The main advantages of digital printing are the study of details, the perfect combination, smooth gradients and almost unlimited length of the template - everything that represents complete freedom for the creativity of designers.
