Traditional dye printing, which has four processes requiring water, uses 153L* of water per 1kg of fabric while FOREARTH has a simple two-step printing and drying process.

No water is used in the printing process based on the concept of "WATER FREE". Kyocera focuses on reducing water usage not only for the printing process but also for the maintenance process.

FOREARTH also recycles cleaning water used for the conveyor belt with filters resulting in water consumption per 1kg of fabric reduced to 0.02L**.

With FOREARTH, it is possible to print only the amount needed and respond to short lead time requests and avoid a surplus in inventory.

FOREARTH uses very little water for printing so that production can be set up almost anywhere, including on-shore, near-shore, or more suitable areas close to consumers. FOREARTH contributes to the reduction of lead time and logistics costs.
