Itaca Launches a New Era in Digital Textile Printing with NCR Technology Pigment Inks at ITM 2026
Taking part in ITM 2026, Itaca is preparing to welcome visitors at Hall 5, Stand 503F. Standing out with its innovative pigment inks developed for digital textile printing, the company will present its advanced technology solutions and sustainable production approach to industry professionals throughout the exhibition.
Spanish ink manufacturer Itaca, whose roots lie in the digital ceramic tile printing industry, today holds a significant share of the global market and produces tens of millions of kilograms of digital ceramic pigment inks annually. Leveraging its strong expertise gained in the ceramics sector, the company is expanding its presence in textiles by developing specialized solutions for digital textile printing.
In this context, Itaca is setting a new standard in pigment inks with its proprietary Nano-Capsule Color Release (NCR) Technology developed for digital textile printing. This technology enables more efficient, flexible, and cost-effective printing processes, while also offering a more sustainable production model compared to conventional methods.
Beyond product development, Itaca plays an active role in supporting its customers’ digital transformation processes. Providing end-to-end support from concept to implementation, the company ensures successful project execution through its international customer service network, offering technical consultancy, training, and operational support. In Türkiye, Itaca operates with a strong local presence through its Bursa-based structure and is preferred by leading digital textile printing companies.
The company offers a comprehensive pigment ink portfolio designed to deliver high performance across various fabric types, including cotton-polyester blends. Developed with a focus on quality, efficiency, and sustainability, these products meet the highest industry standards.
Among these, the Triton ink series stands out, formulated to achieve vibrant, intense colors and fastness performance. Fully compatible with leading printing systems, Triton inks provide the same color brilliance and durability as reactive inks while eliminating processes such as mercerization, steaming, and washing—resulting in significant cost advantages. This also leads to a reduction of up to 86% in water consumption, 58% in energy usage, and 56% in carbon emissions, making a strong contribution to environmental sustainability.
Itaca operates under the umbrella of Altadia Group, a global leader in coloring, decoration, and material transformation solutions. With operations in 19 countries, more than 3,600 professionals, 32 production facilities, and 19 sales and after-sales service centers, Altadia provides strong global support, enabling Itaca to stay close to its customers worldwide.
As part of ITM 2026, Itaca will showcase its innovative technologies, sustainable solutions, and strong global infrastructure. Visitors to the stand will have the opportunity to explore cutting-edge solutions in digital textile printing and gain detailed insights into technologies that add value to the industry.
