Ep. 76: NUtec Digital Ink

Textile Innovation

This week’s guests on The WTiN Podcast are sales and marketing director Neil Green and technical director Paul Geldenhuys from NUtec Digital Ink.

Based in South Africa, the company began its journey in 1995, when it was an early ink manufacturer for airbrush printers used for commercial printing. The company’s name and focus has since changed a couple of times after being acquired by Scitex Vision in 2001 and Hewlett Packard (HP) in 2005. Eventually, the original founders of the company created NUtec Digital Ink which now develops and manufactures digital printing inks for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and distributors for the global market.

In this podcast, Green and Geldenhuys talk about the company’s interesting history, the different inks it offers and the benefits and limitations to each. They discuss the company’s latest products, the different markets it serves and how R&D continually focuses on sustainability and water-based inks. What’s more, the pair talk about how Covid-19 was ‘disastrous' for the company for the first few months, but how they believe digital printing and inks has a bright and promising future.
