Tekboy Tekstil, a leading yarn dyeing plant based in Istanbul, Turkey, has installed SPGPrints’ Javelin digital printer to supplement production capacity and meet increased demand for shorter-runs, rapid turnarounds, and on-demand sample production. Javelin printer is Tekboy’s first high-volume digital machine investment.
The Javelin printer uses Archer technology which enables the firing of variable drops (2pL-10pL) to the substrate. The 4 mm distance from print head to substrate eliminates head damage and is ideal for printing the knitted fabrics produced by the company. The consistent quality of printer’s ink delivery system enables the company to meet the demand for frequently changing designs. Javelin’s six-colour (CMYK, Blue, and Orange) system can reliably and repeatedly reproduce a wider gamut and achieve fine tonal gradations due to the variable dot sizes. Furthermore, with its help, Tekboy can produce samples, usually in 10 metres lengths, economically and instantly, enabling its customers to speed up product development phases.

Süha Artun, Factory Manager, Tekboy said, “The Javelin’s outstanding quality and productivity were important factors in our investment decision. It is the fastest printer we have seen to achieve a resolution of 1200 dpi x 1200 dpi, and we were very impressed with the results when it produced challenging designs such as geometrics and blotches at relatively high speeds. But other important factors put the SPGPrints offering in a league if its own.”
