Durst and Technijet have jointly developed a digital textile system called Swiftjet. Swiftjet is a spraying and drying unit which is connected upstream in actual printing machine and depending on the desired printing result, takes over the chemical pre-treatment of the textile thread. Swiftjet offers process optimization for increasing economic efficiency in textile printing.

Durst is an industrial inkjet specialist. Technijet is a manufacturer of industrial high-pressure cleaning systems. Technijet's long-term experience with high-pressure jets comes in useful when ensuring the exact application of the composition on the material surface. Durst has continuously striven to optimize the economic efficiency and environmental safety of inkjet print production.

Durst’s soft pigment ink system (Alpha P) can be printed on standard material like cotton and polyester without additional binders and wet processes. Alpha P has soft grip and color brilliance and at the same time it reduces water and energy consumption in production.

With the Swiftjet solution, flexibility is further increased, since pre-treatment can be added upstream depending on material and need. Previously independent processes can thus be consolidated and automised, which also contributes to an environmentally friendly production.

The Swiftjet pre-treatment system is adapted for the Durst Alpha Series high-performance inkjet printer and can process print widths of up to 330 cm. Durst will also offer the pre-treatment system as a standalone solution for existing third party technologies.
