Fabric printed by FOREARTH

Kyocera's environmentally conscious inkjet textile printer, "FOREARTH," utilizes Kyocera's original pigment ink along with pre- and post-processing fluids to enable printing on a wide range of fabrics, including cotton, silk, polyester, nylon, and blended yarns. Additionally, the inkjet printhead unit continuously ejects the pre-treatment liquid, ink, and post-treatment liquid in sequence to optimize performance and maintain the original softness of the fabric.

Moreover, by adopting the FOREARTH Concept in digital textile printing, where color is not limited by the number of screen plates, it is possible to print colorful and precise designs on various fabrics, catering to both small and large production runs. We are also expanding our creative possibilities and contributing to the creation of new value in the textile and apparel industry by supporting a wide range of categories, including women's, men's, sportswear, baby clothing, and home textiles.
