and waterless printing, the amount of water consumed<br />
has been reduced to zero and environmentally friendly<br />

Optimum Digital has developed a pre-treatment<br />
and waterless printing technology<br />
Optimum Digital recently released it’s revolutionary<br />
NirvanaBelt: Green. This printer, the latest instalment in<br />
Optimum’s Innovation Series, is accelerating the green<br />
development of the industry. Without the need for pre<br />
or post-treatment, no additional machinery is required<br />
to print on cotton, synthetic cotton or polyester textiles.<br />
The innovative printing set-up eliminates the large<br />
amounts of wastewater traditionally used to treat textile.<br />
Waterless printing also reduces cost by 50%, while reducing<br />
energy and chemical usage by 80%. This results<br />
in environmentally sustainable prints for the fashion and<br />
interior design industries that are cost-competitive. A win<br />
for everyone, including the planet.<br />
Optimum Digital leading the way in<br />
environmental digital printing as part of its 2030<br />
Green Printing goals.<br />
The print service value, which was 3.16 billion Euros in<br />
2020, increased to 3.82 billion Euros in 2021. Although<br />
print service value declined in 2020 due to the effects of<br />
Covid, it will have regained its value increase by <strong>2022</strong>.<br />
In this period, the volume of inkjet-printed fabrics will<br />
almost double from 2.89 billion square meters to 5.53<br />
billion square meters in 2026. These data show that the<br />
share of inkjet in the total printed textile market has increased<br />
from 6% to 10%. It offers significant room for<br />
textile printing suppliers experiencing a post-Covid decline<br />
to grow and recover their losses.<br />
Freedom of design, customized fabrics, short print runs,<br />
faster reorders and the potential for printing with a lower<br />
environmental impact indicate that the market needs<br />
next generation machines. Optimum Digital evaluated all<br />
these needs and offered the Nirvana Belt textile printing<br />
machine to the service of the industry.
