Ethco Prints was born into the rich lineage of the Khatri family’s pedigree in silk printing. The family has been in this domain for more than a century – and has generations of accumulated expertise in understanding fabric, colours, designing, styling and printing techniques. Abu Khatri, the patriarch of the Ethco Prints house is an industry veteran, renowned for hand-block discharge printing & screen printing on pure silk fabric.

 

Asad Khatri, who currently manages Operations at Ethco Prints is the 4th generation in the business of textile printing. He has extensive hands-on experience of conventional hand-block & screen printing. Leveraging this deep experience, he has ushered in the latest technologies and started digital printing in 2012. 

 

To get the best results on different fabrics, Ethco Prints runs customized printing operations using 3 different digital printers:

 

1. MS JP5 EVO - uses Acid Inks - for the best results on #Silks, #Wool, #Polyamide & #Nylon

 

1. Konica Pro 120 - uses Reactive Inks - for the best result on #Cotton, #Viscose, #Modal, #Rayons and #Natural Blends

 

1. Epson 9430 - uses Epson Inks - for the best quality and consistent colour results on #Polyester

 

Asad continues to build on his legacy, making Ethco Prints a one-stop Centre-of-Excellence for all types of fabric printing - silks, wools, cottons, modal, viscose, polyester, and even highly specialized ones like polyamide, nylon & nylon nets. In addition to high quality Custom Printing Solutions, Ethco Prints offerings extend into ready fabrics as well as a range of ready-to-wear premium products such as apparels (kaftan, shirts, tunics etc.) and accessories (scarves, stoles, pocket squares etc.). 

 

Ethco is one of the few printing units in India which offers capacity & expertise in Digital Acid Printing for Pure Silks, Pure Wools, Polyamide & Nylon. Printing on 100% pure silk & wools is more suitable with Acid Inks as compared to Reactive Inks since it gives the sharpest prints, bright colour with high luminous value and deep penetration so necessary for Scarves, Stoles, Sarees, Sarong, Pocket Squares, and any other garments where the front and back of the fabric need to be same. It is well known that Polyamide and Nylons are only printable with Acid Inks. Ethco has been using Acid Inks on high-speed Kyocera Printhead printer for almost a decade. The company has industry recognition and acclaim for providing Acid Digital Printing and for providing digitally printed pure silk fabric & pure silk accessories.

 

The current installed capacity at Ethco is 75,000 meters per month.

 

The Ethco Prints ethos is one of single-minded and unflinching commitment to Quality. Decades of expertise in handling and printing silk has enabled Ethco to learn about Quality and make it a part of its core philosophy. Ethco is now able to effortlessly extend this Quality philosophy to all other fabrics that it handles and prints. 

 

This ethos also leads to stringent Quality Control. This commitment to quality allows Ethco to offer unique services like Acid Printing on Pure Silk, Reactive and Sublimation Printing. This adherence to strict standards results in Ethco fabric and apparels being sold in high-end retail outlets.
