ColorJet India has emerged as a formidable force in the global digital printing industry, seamlessly blending innovation, sustainability, and performance technology. Founded and led by Mr. Madhu Sudan Dadu, the company has redefined textile printing with a “Made in India, Made for the World” ethos. Through relentless research and development, state-of-the-art manufacturing, and a strong commitment to sustainability, ColorJet is strengthening India’s position as a global leader in digital printing solutions. In an exclusive interview, Mr. Dadu shares insights into ColorJet’s growth, technological advancements, and its vision for the future of digital textile printing.
A VISIONARY APPROACH: TRANSFORMING DIGITAL PRINTING
From its inception, ColorJet has embodied innovation. Mr. Dadu recalls the company’s journey, stating, “We ventured into digital printing at a time when its potential was yet to be fully realized. India’s textile heritage, combined with evolving global market needs, presented an opportunity for us to lead the transformation. We knew that by developing sustainable and cost-effective digital printing solutions, we could change the landscape of textile manufacturing.” Through continuous research and development and a deep understanding of the industry’s requirements, ColorJet evolved from manufacturing small-scale printers to high-production digital textile machines.
Today, the company competes with European, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese manufacturers, establishing India’s technological prowess on the global stage.
Sustainable Innovation: The Core of ColorJet’s Growth
Sustainability is at the heart of ColorJet’s product development, driving its growth and innovation. The company has made remarkable strides in waterless digital printing technology, ensuring minimal environmental impact while maintaining high efficiency and quality.
Our focus is on ‘green printing’—
technologies that reduce water and energy consumption while maintaining the highest quality standards. The future of textile printing lies in sustainable practices, and ColorJet is leading this shift,” states Mr. Dadu.
The company specializes in two categories of textile printing:
Sublimation (Transfer) Printing – Primarily used for polyester based textiles.
Direct-to-Fabric Printing – Enabling printing on various natural and blended fabrics using reactive, disperse, and pigment inks. This method eliminates the need for pre-washing, significantly reducing water usage.
Through ColorJet’s sustainable initiatives, manufacturers can now adopt eco-friendly production processes without compromising efficiency or cost-effectiveness.
Expanding the Scope: From Printing to End-to-End Solutions
ColorJet goes beyond just digital printing; it offers complete workflow solutions. The
company provides pre-treatment, printing, and post-treatment solutions, ensuring a seamless production process.
“We are not just a printing machine manufacturer; we are a solutions provider. Our goal is to enhance the efficiency of textile manufacturers, allowing them to produce superior-quality fabrics with minimal waste,” says Mr. Dadu. This comprehensive approach has solidified ColorJet’s presence in international markets, with exports to Europe, Japan, Korea, China, and South America.
