INKA IN YOUR WORKSHOP
From idea to fabric.
Space to create.
A system to produce.
AT THE HEART OF PRINTING
Precision starts
on the inside.
Consistent ink. Stable film. Controlled droplets.
01 / WHITE INK MANAGEMENT
White ink,
in motion.
White pigments tend to settle when idle. On equipped INKA systems, stirring helps keep ink homogeneous for a more consistent white underbase.
- Stirring in the tank
- A small motor drives a paddle through the ink to keep pigments suspended and reduce settling.
- Circulation through the circuit
- Circulation keeps the ink moving through the machine’s ink lines.
- Maintain white opacity
- A more homogeneous pigment concentration helps limit variations in white density, especially on dark textiles.
These functions complement regular printer maintenance.
INKA White Circulation Technology
White ink in circulation.
On equipped INKA systems, the pump circulates white ink between the tank and ink distribution. The return to the tank forms a loop that reduces stagnation in the relevant circuit.
- Tank → Pump → Distribution → Tank
- Arrows show the return loop. Dampers feed the printheads from the distribution manifold and help stabilize flow.
Continuous or timed operation depends on the model. Circulation does not replace nozzle maintenance.
02 / PRINTHEADS
Epson printheads.
Control at the droplet level.
Epson printheads use piezoelectric elements to control the ejection of fine ink droplets onto PET film.
Variable droplet volume helps reproduce fine details and smooth gradients.
Printhead specifications and print settings vary by model.
Cutaway images illustrate operating principles. Component layout and equipment vary by configuration.
A solution for your textile workshop
Customize compatible light or dark textiles: T-shirts, sweatshirts, workwear and canvas bags. Printing onto film is followed by powdering, curing and heat pressing.
Your INKA partner helps you choose the configuration, install the system and maintain it.
