POLARIS S4 INDUSTRIAL DTG PLATFORM
Where Image Quality and Productivity Meet
The Polaris™ S4 Industrial DTG Platform sets a new standard with the latest generation of garment decoration technology from M&R. Designed to handle a sophisticated array of automation needs and quality requirements, the Polaris is set to accelerate growth and expand horizons.
Quality AND Speed? The Polaris Does Both.
The Polaris utilizes more than twelve different hardware and software systems operating in synchronized harmony to achieve industry leading production speeds, with exceptional print quality. Key features of the Polaris include a 16-station indexer, precision-engineered to provide high-speed production and consistent, close-tolerance registration—print after print—for many years of industrial operation. The enhanced print quality of the Polaris comes from two industrial digital print units—one White, one CMYK—with a 15”-wide printhead array for high-speed, single-axis printing. Another key contributor to image quality is M&R’s wet-on-dry print sequencing, where pretreatment is applied and dried prior to the application of the White ink, which is then flash-cured before printing the CMYK inks.
A Modern Approach to DTG
By combining successful screenprinting traits with our advancements in digital ink delivery, M&R has removed past limitations of digital artwork reproduction without sacrificing cost nor quality.
S4 “Shape for Shape” Digital Pretreat Unit
The S4 digitally delivers pretreat chemistry where you need it… only behind the print! Not only is the pretreat digitally targeted as “Shape for Shape,” but the density and amount of pretreat can be controlled garment to garment via the integrated workflow software.
Heat It Up with Presses and Flashes
Inline heat presses and quartz flashes smooth garment fibers to increase DTG quality. The Polaris is designed to produce full-color designs at a rapid pace, with repeatable, steady output.
Digital Print Units Deliver Dazzling Color
Two dedicated digital print units work in tandem to produce vibrant artwork quickly and effortlessly with one dedicated to White and the second to CMYK. The POLARIS takes DTG printing into a new realm of limitless possibilities.
