EFI Reggiani TERRA Silver – A Short, Smart and Green textile printing process

The new, industrial, entry-level EFI™ Reggiani TERRA Silver textile printer from Electronics For Imaging, Inc. made its debut at the FESPA Global Print Expo 2021 tradeshow. It uses unique TERRA pigment ink for high-quality, highly sustainable direct-to-textile printing without steaming or washing.

“This is one of the first trade shows to return after the pandemic, and we were very excited to again meet customers in person and showcase an innovative offering that delivers superior printing results while using less time, water and energy,” said EFI Reggiani Vice President and General Manager Adele Genoni. “We are introducing this advanced EFI Reggiani TERRA Silver solution to the many print service providers at Fespa, presenting them with an ideal path to enter the industrial textile segment with a short, smart and green production process.”

The new-version printer is part of EFI’s complete TERRA line-up of pigment ink printer solutions. It is a 180-cm wide printer that prints up to 190 sqm per hour with eight dual-channel printheads.

Other features include:

• A new recirculating ink system for superior reliability and minimum maintenance
• Several printing modes to ensure maximum flexibility in terms of design capability
• New, real-time image processing that eliminates time spent in image pre-calculations
• A user friendly, intuitive interface
