VICENZA | Italy – February 2024 – Monti Antonio recently introduced its Pigment Calendar C03RP-1800 to take advantage of Coldenhove’s special digital transfer paper for printing pigment inks onto a wide range of natural fabric fiber textiles. The CO3RP was designed specifically for this application and utilizes an actual transfer as opposed to normal sublimation.
The C03RP-1800 boasts an array of features designed to enhance efficiency and quality across various printing methods, including transfer printing, direct inks reactivation, sublimation printing with customizable options, and thermosetting with a unique “crush” effect.
