Visitors to FESPA Asia will also be able to learn more about J-Nexter, a new ink from the J-Teck brand that JK Group said has been designed to allow customers to achieve “exceptional” performances with latest-generation Epson printheads for specific dye-sublimation inkjet printers.
Girola added: “J-Nexter stands out for the high compatibility Epson printheads in any printing condition, with key product quality attributes that include fast drying on any kind of paper and high colour intensity.”
Alessandra Borghi, sales director at JK Group, also spoke positively about the new inks and the impact he expects them to have on the market: “The new products attest to JK Group’s dedication to respond to market evolution with continued technological advancements for our customers.”
Borghi added: “We are conscious that high compatibility with printers and printheads is the key to serve the sublimation digital market to maintain the confidence of printing professionals.”
In addition to Digistar T-Sonic and J-Teck inks, FESPA Asia visitors will be able to see the Sawgrass Industrial water-based portfolio, as well as talk with JK Group about its Textile Standard Program.

The importance of ink for large format printers
Ink is crucial for large format inkjet printers, influencing substrate compatibility, productivity, and cost. Nessan Cleary discusses the three main types which include UV-curable ink, latex ink and eco-solvent ink. Each ink type has specific strengths and weaknesses, making printers choice dependent on budget and intended applications.
What are the benefits of Direct-To-Fabric printing?
Direct-to-fabric printing is gaining popularity for high-volume textile production, enabling on-demand, customized short runs. These printers offer ink flexibility, accommodating various fabric types like cotton and silk, though ink development focuses on faster turnaround by reducing pre- and post-processing. Compared to traditional methods, direct-to-fabric inkjet printing is a more sustainable option due to reduced water and chemical usage, and localized production.
What are the opportunities for large format providers regarding digital touch screens?
Digital touchscreens are becoming increasingly common, offering businesses opportunities to improve customer engagement and streamline operations. Nessan Cleary shares, while more expensive to implement than standard digital displays due to complex software and integration needs, touchscreens provide self-service options, multilingual support, and can reduce staffing costs in various settings like retail, transportation, and healthcare.
