	Yuhan Kimberly Installs New MC3 Printer for Nano Colorant Printing In May of 2007, we welcomed Yuhan Kimberly's MC2 digital print system to the [TC]² technology demonstration center. This system included the Ujet MC2 printer and nano colorant textile inks, a specially formulated pigment-based chemistry. Yuhan Kimberly recently updated this demonstration via the installation of their Ujet MC3 - Premium system. This Mutoh-based technology makes use of newer generation Epson printheads that support increased print speed. The digital print team will be utilizing this system to continue the investigation of nano colorant printing and provide pigment based printing services. InkDrop is currently accepting print projects for this system on a case by case basis. You may contact Lujuanna Pagan (919-653-3508) to learn more about this service.
