COLARIS.DIGITAL CARPET PRINTING (ENG)
CHROMOJET.PRINTING PROCESS COLOR.PRINTING (76 dpi)
76 dpi printing is the most flexible digital carpet printing technology. Up to
16 process colors are sprayed into the pile using HSV800 type valves. The shade is
actually mixed on the surface of the carpet.
COLARIS4.PRINTING INKJET.PRINTING
Industrial InkJET technology with high resolution up to 1600 dpi is used to print any
shade out of a number of base colors. The required penetration can be achieved by
application of the pre-coat in combination with SUPRAPRESS technology to push the
tiny amount of highly concentrated ink deep into the pile.
CHROMOJET.PRINTING SPOT COLOR.PRINTING (25 dpi)
25 dpi printing is the most common digital carpet printing technology. The dye with
the pre-mixed shade is sprayed into the pile using HSV400 type valves.

ADVANTAGES.COLARIS4
Easy to operate
Complete print line from one supplier
Modular system with a number of different configurations
Low maintenance costs
Design change „on the fly“
Full penetration with ZIMMER AUSTRIA technology
Several ink suppliers, no color kitchen
Ink circulation system - to avoid sedimentation and blockage
Pile weight from 200 up to 1,000 g/m²
High resolution, high brilliancy
Millions of shades and colors
Extremely fine definition
Remote diagnostics and service through the internet
by our service engineers
Set-ups for constructions out of:
- polyamide and wool
- polyester
- cotton and cellulose
For carpet printing we don't need a high
resolution. High resolution is only needed
to get the required amount of ink for a
SUFFICIENT.PENETRATION.
For a high print speed at moderate cost
these factors are essential:
Big droplets - to get as much ink as
possible
High head speed -to utilize the max.
frequency of the print head and system
Low number of passes (each additional
pass reduces the print speed)
Ink concentration, pre-coating and blind
ink form the combination for a perfect
print at moderate cost
