Sawgrass Technologies Inc. - 4/14/2009
Sawgrass Technologies Announces AATCC Testing and Three-Year
Outdoor Durability for M-Textile
Sawgrass Technologies, Inc., an industry leading developer of innovative printing technologies, today announced
AATCC testing and three-year outdoor durability of M- Textile ink, a water-based modified-pigment ink that prints
on natural and man-made textiles with no wet post-processing.
M-Textile inks are a completely new and totally revolutionary new category of digital textile inks. The exclusive
binder-free formula eliminates the head-clogging, maintenance and downtime associated with traditional water-
based pigment inks. The one-ink-prints-all approach enables M-Textile to replace acid, reactive and disperse
dyes, which call for steaming, washing, drying and, at times, waste-water treatment. M-Textile inks print on
Cotton, Polyester, Cotton-Polyester Blends, Silk, Nylon, Wool and other natural fibers.
M-Textile ink contains no hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) or toxic air pollutants (TAPs). Requiring only 3 minutes
of inline heat fixation, this extremely versatile ink saves time, energy and capital, making it an integral part of a
sustainable, on-demand digital textile printing platform.
Sawgrass M-Textile ink has recently undergone AATCC testing at the University of Philadelphia. Tests included
color fastness to Light (UV), Laundering, Wet and Dry Crocking and Perspiration. Based on the test results,
Sawgrass asserts that M-TT meets the prevailing AATCC color fastness standards for a wide variety of digital
textile printing applications.
M-Textile inks are compatible with the industry’s most popular digital textile printers including Mimaki, Roland,
Mutoh, Splash of Color, d.gen, ATP and DuPont Artistri.
