SOLUTION FOR YOUR NEEDS!
The time is changing and digital printing and coating technology is developing very fast. New products and processes must be developed to combine
the digital technology with the needs
of the textile and carpet industry.
ZIMMER AUSTRIA with its experience
in screen printing, digital jet and inkjet printing is the ideal partner to develop new applications and processes.
Our experienced teams in Kufstein
(competence centre of digital printing
systems) and Klagenfurt (competence
centre for screen and coating systems)
in combination with all our state of the
art technologies are developing new
processes for and with our customers.
One of the results of our technology
centre is to print with our ChromoJET
on blankets. Read more about this new
innovation on page 2.
If you have an idea – contact us - We
will find a perfect solution together.

ZIMMER AUSTRIA and TEXTILES MORA S.A.L. are excited about the new technology and all of us are looking forward to enjoy the new opportunities
COOPERATION
ZIMMER AUSTRIA
and TEXTILES MORA
S.A.L., Spain entered
an agreement to
install and fine tune
the first commercial ChromoJET
blanket printer.
Mora is the perfect partner for ZIMMER AUSTRIA because of their excellent reputation; experience in flat
screen printing; high end products
for all key markets; excellent technical skills.
CHROMOJET FOR BLANKETS
The ChromoJET process color technology is not only used for carpets,
mats and carpet tiles - it also can be
used to print blankets.
In the recent 2 years a number of
tests were made to print Raschel
(Mink) blankets out of Acrylic (PAC),
Cationic dyeable Polyester (CD-PET)
and Polyester (PET), and ZIMMER
AUSTRIA developed the perfect process for most types of fibres popular
in the blanket industry.
PROCESS COLOR PRINTING
For the print operation a 10 color
printer with a variable resolution between 32 and 76 dpi is used. The colors are made out of base shades.
• There is no minimum order - even
a single blanket can be produced
- providing fast delivery of samples
on the same ChromoJET
• No limitation in number of colors
and shades
• No limitation of repeats
• Perfect and full penetration
CHROMOJET PRINTING FOR
BLANKETS OPENS COMPLETE
NEW FIELDS
Promotion blankets - this might become the biggest field for digital printed blankets. From advertising for
beverages to special hotel blankets
- everything is possible.
Club blankets - create individual
blankets with logos and slogans.
The digital printer was installed end
of 2013 and will be in full operation at
the beginning of 2014.
License blankets - it is easy to match
all shades and details of the license
characters from Disney and many
others. Changes during the product
development phase are simplified
on the computer.

The new COLARIS digital printer for terry products at Satinskin Texteis LTD, Amorim/Portugal
FACTS
Satinskin Texteis Lta., a young company from the Northern Territory of
Portugal has established themselves
as a leading digital textile producer
within less than two years.
Satinskin can offer the complete
range of digital printing covering
the fashion, decorative and home
textile markets = a flexible commission print house.
COLARIS digital machine park:
• COLARIS2600 | reactive & acid inks
(dual ink supply system)
• COLARIS3200 | reactive inks
• COLARIS3200 | disperse inks
• COLARIS2600 | reactive inks NEW
(Colaris-TW for terry products)
COLARIS-TW - GIVING ROOM FOR MORE CREATIVITY
„To offer solutions,
giving room for
creativity, providing
rewarding sensations, which are
identified
often
with the lifestyles
and tastes, ...” this
is how Mr. Carlos Costa, Managing
Director of Satinskin Texteis Lta. from
Portugal defines his mission for Satinskin.
To become even more flexible, Satinskin has recently decided to order
their fourth digital printer from ZIMMER AUSTRIA. A COLARIS-TW for terry towel printing.
The COLARIS-TW uses a wet-in-wet
process that is crucial to increasing
ink penetration into the pile, as well
as reducing the amount of ink required. lt consists of an un-batching unit,
Magnoroll inline pre-treatment, special entry unit for terry fabric, printing
in up to 8 colors, with towel-border
detection and a 3-pass dryer with fabric plaiter. Steaming, washing and
drying for reactive inks are all off-line.
Zimmer‘s patented MagnoROLL applies pre-treatment only to the side
being printed and ensures that the fabric arrives at the print head with just
the right amount of moisture.
COLARIS TOWELS
There is practically no limitation in
terms of repeat sizes. From small
washing towels up to large beach
or sauna towels in single or multi
strand can be printed at unsurpassed
definition and almost without limitation in the coloration. Motives of
flat colors as well as nice degradations or photographic images can
be realized. A COLARIS-TW can be
laid out with CMYK, double CMYK
for double speed or with 8 process
colors, allowing to choose between
high speed printing and a wide color
gamut. Print speed up to 500 sqm/h
can be achieved!
www.zimmer-austria.com
COLARIS printed terry towels and its white reverse
This is the first print line in Europe
and will allow Satinskin to print velour
towels digitally at qualities not seen
till date. Prints with high resolutions
for great details on the towel are the
target. At the same time one has to
make sure the backside of the towel
remains plain, clean and unprinted.

Within the 1st quarter of 2014 Satinskin will be able to take print orders
and offer their customers terry towel
production.
