RESOLUTE DTG INK LIMITED ANNOUNCES AJS EMBROIDERY SERVICES LIMITED AS THE SOLE DISTRIBUTOR FOR THE R-JET 4 DIGITAL TEXTILE PRINTERS AND RANGE OF TEXTILE INKS IN THE UK AND IRELAND. Following Resolute’s phenomenal first year in the direct to garment market and highly successful attendance at Printwear and Promotion Live 2011, an exciting new partnership has emerged. Linking with the UK’s longest established embroidery machine supplier, AJS Embroidery Services Limited, a new way of doing business is coming. The two businesses are working together to bring direct to garment to a wide range of new users and dispel some of the myths about the difficulties of successful direct to garment printing. “Both our businesses are built on the ethos of providing the best equipment that is available and offering expertise in our support and training”, says Resolute MD and direct to garment expert, Colin Marsh. “This partnership is bringing exciting times to the industry after the initial uncertainty of direct to garment in the past. We are focusing on providing the end user with the support and training they need to achieve the fantastic results, and profits, available to direct to garment printers. AJS has for the past 17 plus years distributed the world renowned range of Tajima Embroidery Machines and serviced the needs of embroiderers in the UK on a level that is unmatched; they are now bringing that excellence to the direct to garment market.”
Page 2 The R-Jet 4 textile printer has been built using the knowledge of experts who have been involved with direct-to-garment printing for many years. They have taken away all the bells and whistles that are no longer needed with today’s advanced ink formulations and made the R-Jet 4 Ingeniously Simple. The R-Jet 4 is superior in build quality, reliability and price. It is the only portable direct to garment printer available on the market, coming complete with its own transport cradle, and uses a unique closed shirt box design allowing garments to be held in place when printed rather than flapping around. The shirt box design makes loading and unloading simple and quick and easily copes with thicker garments such as sweatshirts and hoodies. Using the ZeroAlign© and Zero Height© patented transport system the R-Jet 4 differs from all other printers. The accompanying R-Jet 4 Rip© focuses strongly on essentials to maximize a high quality output. The easyto-handle software offers a high-performance import-functionality of all common vector and image files and abstains from any extensive graphic features, which are these days offered in standard Photoshop and many other software brands. All this coupled with Resolute’s unique inks which have been developed using unique particle repulsion technology provide a fantastic package. Resolute White Ink is much less prone to settling compared to other ink brands without compromising on other physical properties such as run ability or opacity. Resolute White Ink has managed to keep a low viscosity ink system to ensure smooth flow through Epson piezo nozzles, with an ultra low settle formulation. The result for the user is less nozzle blockage and ultimately less wastage of ink on expensive cleaning cycles. Resolute White Ink not only runs well in the printer, it produces brilliant white prints without compromising on the flexibility of the cured image. Images are durable and stretchy with much lower cracking under wash than other brands of ink. Resolute’s CMKY inks are developed with both wash fastness and colour gamut in mind. The inks, when cured produce an extremely durable image and are capable of producing vibrant colours on both light and dark garments. When used alongside Resolute white ink, the images produced are both vibrant, wash fast and durable.
Page 3 “AJS had been looking to distribute a direct to garment printer but until now had not felt comfortable with what was available. With the latest technology of the R-jet 4 and the unique advances in Resolute’s ink technology, we feel confident to supply a machine which is ingeniously simple to use and which doesn’t have the industry known issues of the past, such as clogging and poor wash-ability” adds Tony Dorsey, MD of AJS Embroidery Services Limited. “With all the different direct to garment solutions in the market we knew we needed to work with a company that could offer something different and had the expert knowledge of textile printing. For us, that company had to be Resolute. The R-jet 4 will offer our customers a new and simple way to take advantage of all that direct to garment printing has to offer. We feel our customers can finally have a direct to garment solution which works and offers the excellent results along with cost effectiveness that today’s end users demand.” For those looking to invest in direct to garment the partnership between Resolute and AJS is surely the best place to start.
