Why choose the ROQ IRON?
The ROQ IRON is an advanced heated ironing module that is mounted inline on the print head. The module completely flattens raised textile fibers (fibrillation) after a drying step. This provides a super smooth printing surface for subsequent ink layers, resulting in an extremely soft wash print (‘soft hand’) and lower ink consumption on dark textiles.
