“Large format digital printing is widespread and used for showroom and retail displays, exhibition graphics, flags and banners as well as flooring projects. The print quality of the latest range of large format printers can produce remarkable imagery, with clear lines, high resolution and vivid colours. Yet sustainable textile printing can only exist in tandem with supply chain transparency, and with effective collaboration, the large format fabric sector can make big strides in becoming an eco-friendly solution” SOYANG EUROPE.

“Even though more mills are embracing digital printing workflows, many still underestimate the value of fabric preparation. As is the case for traditional dyeing and screen printing, fabric must be clean and free of impurities like oil, wax and any sizing agents used during weaving. But digital printing also requires additional steps to achieve the best end result.” HUNTSMAN

As we anticipate the continued growth in demand for post-printing decorations, it’s essential for our manufacturers to keep pace and expand their technical abilities. That is what drove us to acquire US-based Voxel8, an on-demand manufacturer of 3D printing technologies, originally focused on the footwear industry. With the acquisition of Voxel8 ’s technologies, Kornit expands and perfectly complements its core production and decoration capabilities.

Décor is an evolving space. Colours, materials and design styles change rapidly . The big change that is taking place now is the reopening of public spaces - we are all hankering to re-connect. Terry Raghunath - HP
