Water-Saving Textile Printers

TRUE BLUE TEXTILE Highlights Kyocera's FOREARTH Printer

— March 15, 2024 — Eco
Kyocera's new TRUE BLUE TEXTILE project aligns with a Wear to Save Water fashion concept created to boost awareness of environmental issues ahead of World Water Day 2024.

TRUE BLUE TEXTILE is printed using Kyocera's sustainable inkjet printer, FOREARTH, which debuted in 2023 as a solution for eliminating 99% of the water used in textile printing. This innovation highlights the possibility of creating with vivid colors, without sacrificing one of the world's most valuable resources. Large amounts of water are ordinarily involved in steaming and washing during the process of dyeing fabrics and what's more, polluted wastewater is produced as a result—but Kyocera's FOREARTH inkjet textile printer reduces water use to the bare minimum.

A total of five outfits were created for the project by ANREALAGE and the Vantan Design Institute.

1. Sustainable Textile Printing - Kyocera's FOREARTH printer showcases a solution for drastically reducing water usage in textile printing.
2. Environmental Awareness Fashion Concepts - TRUE BLUE TEXTILE project promotes the Wear to Save Water concept ahead of World Water Day 2024.
3. Innovative Inkjet Printing Technology - FOREARTH printer by Kyocera enables vibrant color creation while minimizing water consumption in textile printing.
Industry Implications

2. Printing Technology - Kyocera's FOREARTH inkjet printer disrupts traditional textile printing methods by significantly reducing water usage.
3. Textile Manufacturing - The use of FOREARTH printer in textile printing industry offers a more sustainable approach to fabric dyeing processes.
