DuPont has been a leader in color science since the company developed color pigments for the automotive industry almost a century ago. DuPont Imaging Technologies provides digital inks and an expanded portfolio of digital printing systems to offer customers color any way they want it, when they want it. DuPont™ Cyrel®FAST, Artistri™ and Cromaprint™ are part of DuPont Imaging Technologies, which provides products for multi-billion dollar industries that include consumer packaging, textiles, signage and graphic arts.

• Based on DuPont proprietary technology, DuPont delivers superior color digitally in a variety of formats and sizes. DuPont developed the Cyrel®FAST, Artistri™ and Cromaprint™ printing systems for customers who require faster, more reliable printing with consistent quality and superior color on a broad variety of substrates, from paper, film and vinyl to all types of fabrics. All three provide or enable on-demand printing and complete system solutions – from color management to digital workflow to the finished product.
  
  
• DuPont™ Cyrel®FAST, Cromaprint™ and Artistri™ digital printing systems are environmentally smart technologies, with no processing solvents to handle, store or recycle. They also use significantly less water, ink and energy than conventional printing systems.
  
  
• For instance, DuPont collects developer rolls used in Cyrel®FAST printing to eliminate waste disposal, and then recycles them to generate steam energy. Artistri™ systems are an on-demand technology and use DuPont aqueous inks, and Cromaprint™ systems offer substantial reduction of waste materials that are usually used in screen-printing processes.
  
  
• Cyrel®FAST is one of the fastest growing technologies for advanced packaging graphics, with installations in 26 countries and on six continents. The latest Cyrel®FAST system, Cyrel®FAST TD4260, was introduced in 2005 to meet the needs of consumer package goods companies for consistent, high-quality color images on their packaging. The speed of Cyrel®FAST allows companies to better promote their brands with superior quality colors in less time, making it the ideal just-in-time system for applications that demand a fast turnaround.
  
  
• DuPont recently launched its grand format DuPont™ Artistri™ 3320 digital textile printing system, which offers 3.3 meter wide roll-to-roll printing and access to new applications for digital printing on textiles. It is the latest in a product line to meet on-demand digital textile printing needs. DuPont™ Artistri™ digital printing systems consist of three main components: digital textile printers, brilliant textile inks and innovative color and control management software. Customers use the systems for applications such as interior textiles, flags, soft signage, banners, apparel and accessories.
  
  
• In 2006, DuPont commercialized its Cromaprint™ 22UV fully-integrated digital printing system. The total package is specifically designed to meet the high volume and high speed production needs for digital printing onto the widest variety of rigid and flexible surfaces. The Cromaprint™ 22UV system offers flexibility to print onto substrates such as PVC, foam boards, acrylics, corrugated glass, styrene, aluminum, wood and, within two minutes, switch over to print onto flexible media such as DuPont™ Tyvek®, vinyl, and polyester film such as DuPont Teijin Melinex®.
