Digital ink development company Digital Ink Sciences has come up with DIS-250, a new ink formulation for Direct to Garment Printers and wide format Printers. This novelty is a Mid Viscosity ink formulation that is considered a breakthrough by industry insiders.
It requires lower maintenance and has better stability, jet, ability and nozzle integrity. The company also says that their inks 
means less printer downtime and more shirt printing with fewer issues.
“This new ink set is surpassing every expectation. We’re getting better colors, deeper blacks, and the custom ink formulation is significantly reducing maintenance on the print heads.” – Grant French, Business Development Manager, Digital Ink Sciences
The company focuses their products on final output not just by developing the best colours available for Aqueous Textile inks, but also by concentrating on what company calls the ‘Perfect drop’”, which means more of the ink lands on the shirt and less gets dispersed into the air, and onto unwanted areas.
The system helps the operators to print the fabric with lower resolution and faster without compromising print quality. Moreover the optimized drop shape of the ink helps the printer to hit the same spot on textiles over and over again.
Notably, the current models that supports the ink are Ricoh G4, Ricoh G5- with optimized waveform and Ricoh GH2220/2420 heads.
