Hamamatsu, Japan, September 26, 2023 – Roland DG Corporation, a leading manufacturer of wide-format inkjet printers and printer/cutters, announced that the ink and powder for the VersaSTUDIO BN-20D, a compact Direct-To-Film (DTF transfer) printer, have acquired OEKO-TEX🄬 ECO PASSPORT certification, an international standard that guarantees the safety of textile products.

OEKO-TEX® consists of independent institutes in Europe and Japan, with offices around the globe, working to achieve the highest standards of safety and sustainable production worldwide. ECO PASSPORT is an independent certification system for chemicals, colorants and auxiliaries used in the textile industry that verifies that each individual ingredient in chemical products meets the statutory requirements and is not harmful to human health.

The BN-20D is an inkjet printer that can handle not only cotton but also polyester, cotton-polyester, denim, nylon, rayon, and other materials, enabling the production of original T-shirts and sportswear through a simple process. Its wide range of capabilities and excellent efficiency have been highly evaluated, resulting in a great deal of attention worldwide in the apparel goods decoration industry.

“We believe that obtaining such world-class certification is very important in order to ensure that clothing is produced safely and can be worn by people of all ages, from adults to infants.” said Tony Miller, President of Roland DG’s Global Sales and Marketing Division. “As Sustainable Development Goals and initiatives are increasingly required worldwide, we will continue to actively work on the development of safer and more environmentally friendly digital solutions.”
