Ichinose Ginga - High-speed spiral digital printer for socks, T-shirts and tubular garments with interchangeable cylinder system
Ichinose Ginga - Spiral Digital Printer
The Ichinose Ginga is an innovative spiral digital printing machine specifically designed for socks, T-shirts, and tubular garment production. Manufactured by Ichinose, a Textile Machinery Manufacturer in Japan, Ginga features revolutionary one-pass printing technology with an interchangeable cylinder system that delivers high-speed, high-quality digital printing with seamless results.
Application
- Socks Digital Printing
- T-Shirt Digital Printing
- Tubular Garments
- Small-Diameter Circular Knit Products
Four Innovative Features
1. High-Speed Spiral Print - One-Pass Head Arrangement
Ginga uses independently developed software to generate and print spirally. The unique head arrangement enables compatibility of speed and quality. Unlike conventional inkjet printers, Ginga's lengthwise head arrangement allows continuous printing while revolving, efficiently utilizing the full printing width.
- No Line-like Joint - Print starts and ends with a dot, eliminating visible seams
- No Bidirectional Print - Consistent ink drop jetting without quality variations
- Efficient Width Usage - Full printing width utilized vs. narrow width in conventional printers
2. Fixed Head Print System
Print head and ink tube remain stationary during printing while the garment on cylinder moves through the machine. This design provides superior stability and maintenance benefits.
- Stable Head Behavior - Consistent ink jetting performance
- Protected Head - Not exposed to wind, reducing dryness
- Improved Maintenance - Easier access and cleaning
- Separated Workflow - Print work and preliminary setup can be divided
3. Interchangeable Cylinder System
Garments (socks, T-shirts, tubular products) are set on interchangeable cylinders which are then mounted on the machine. The cylinder system dramatically improves productivity and offers flexibility for different product types.
- Quick Setup - Cylinders can be prepared in advance
- Interchangeable Cylinders - Different cylinder sizes for different products (socks, T-shirts, etc.)
- Customizable Sizes - Standard 70mm for socks, larger sizes available for T-shirts and other garments
- Specialized Materials - Carbon fiber cylinders available for sublimation ink with heat resistance
- High Volume - 100 heat-resistant carbon adapters included
4. Advanced Drive & Attachment Systems
- Linear Motor Catapult Drive - Precise and smooth cylinder movement
- Air Shaft System - Quick and easy cylinder attachment/removal
- Standard Cylinder - φ70 × 70 mmL included (for socks)
- Larger Cylinders - Available for T-shirts and other garments (optional)
