Digital Printers Using Environmentally Water-Based Ink—TASKalfa Pro Series and FOREARTH—

Abstract

In recent years, the commercial and industrial printing field has been shifting from analog printing, mainly using offset methods, to digital printing such as inkjet printing, which contributes to greater efficiency in short-run, small-lot printing and reduced labor costs. To respond to these trends, KYOCERA Document Solutions Inc. launched the TASKalfa Pro 15000c high-speed cut-sheet inkjet printer in 2019 and the FOREARTH textile inkjet printer in 2024. This paper reports on these digital printers that use these environmentally friendly water-based inks.
