INDUSTRIAL HIGH-SPEED DIRECT-TO-GARMENT PRINTING SYSTEM
Where Image Quality and Productivity Meet
The Polaris™ Industrial High-Speed DTG Printing System 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 engines—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.
Onboard Pretreater Saves Time and Steps
The compact, onboard pretreatment station comes standard on every Polaris, which simplifies the DTG process and reduces shirt setup touches. This pretreatment solution is what printers have been waiting for.
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 Engines Deliver Dazzling Color
Two dedicated digital print engines work in tandem to produce vibrant artwork quickly and effortlessly. The Polaris takes DTG printing into a new realm of limitless possibilities.
