Epson and its owned companies, FOR.TEX and F.lli Robustelli, announced that its full range of Genesta inks — acid, reactive, disperse, pigment and sublimation-disperse — have achieved the ECO PASSPORT certification from OEKO-TEX. The water-based inks developed by Epson in collaboration with FOR.TEX, allow reliable, precise and colorfast printing of the highest quality onto any fabric type.
 
To achieve Eco Passport Certification, Genesta inks had to pass two verification stages set by Oeko-Tex. The first stage involved the screening of chemicals at the ingredient level against the Oeko-Tex Restricted Substance list and the second stage against the Manufacturing Restricted Substance list; where analytical verification ensures that certified products can be used in the sustainable production of human-ecologically friendly textiles.
 
Printing companies using certificated inks such as Genesta Inks can be confident that they will meet the chemical requirements of STANDARD 100 by Oeko-Tex.
 
“We are very proud to have received the Eco Passport certification for all our Genesta, our top textile inks,” said Tomoaki Kuwata, GM, of Epson’s P Strategic Planning Department. “It assures all Monna Lisa users around the world that Epson complies with the necessary environmental legislations and is the next step to promoting a new, sustainable, printing methodology after the previous Eco Passport achieved by the UltraChrome inks.”
