The Path Foward: Connect Every Link:
Design, colour, workflow, production, data. Each link now depends on the one before it, and the printers who will lead the market are those who strengthen the whole chain, not just the machinery at its centre.
So, this autumn, ask the bigger question on your own shop floor.
Not "Which printer?" but "How well does my business connect demand, design and production?"
WRITTEN BY FESPA TEXTILE AMBASSADOR DEBBIE MCKEEGAN
What sets the businesses that will thrive next year apart? Increasingly it is how well every step of the production workflow connects, and the complexity of that intuitive co-connection from the customers workflow to the finished product and dispatch.
As I wrote for Fespa in The Textile Reset, this structural shift is real. Demand is now driven by personalisation, shorter buying cycles and an expectation of near-instant response. Supply-chain transparency is now a legal and commercial fact. And margins are under sustained pressure. “This is not a temporary disruption. It is a reordering of how our industry must operate”.
For Autumn, let’s take a look at the latest insights and innovations from across the Fespa community and what they signpost for textile professionals working across décor, fashion, garment decoration and sportswear. Here is what's shifting, what it signals, and what it means for your business.
It Starts with Design and Design Has Gone Digital
Every printed product begins as an idea. What has changed is how quickly that idea can become data, and how much that embedded data can do downstream to inform the print floor.
Across the ecosystem design tools are converging. By example, NedGraphics and Optitex are joining textile design and apparel pattern development into one digital workflow - data and specifications are shared from the start. For printers and manufacturers, that means less sampling, shorter development cycles, less rework, less waste, more throughput.
Meanwhile at Corel - AI prompting can turn the blank page into a starting point for discovery. With a few carefully chosen words, designers can explore styles, colours, compositions and ideas in moments, then refine the results into editable artwork that reflects their own vision. It’s not about replacing creativity or craft - it’s about helping the design community experiment faster, overcome creative blocks and spend more time shaping ideas into something uniquely their own. To make the most of this new creative partner, the design community must now learn to prompt creatively - translating imagination into clear, considered written direction.
Design is also evolving in 3D materials. In a recent conversation with Danit Peleg, she described 3D-printed fashion as no longer a fringe experiment but a maturing production model, backed by material science and an increasingly accessible AI-assisted workflow.
Colour: Getting It Right Before a Single Metre Is Printed
The moment a design leaves the studio, colour becomes the most expensive place for a printer to get it wrong. Albert Sureda of InEdit software recently explained the importance of calibrated RGB profiles which allow designers to preview results on screen and accelerate approvals and why matching printed colour across a fleet of different printers, inks and fabrics depends on established standards and checking colour stability regularly, not once a season.
For any print business juggling multiple machines or substrates, that's a workflow discipline worth auditing now.
Workflow: The System, Not the Machine
Between the approved file and the printhead sits the part of the business most printers still underinvest in - the workflow.
Durst's Michael Deflorian explained how Kyveris, an AI-driven platform that connects the steps before and after production, by combining machine data with operator expertise. Its goal is to improve consistency, reduce waste and move businesses gradually from automation towards autonomy, with an open, vendor-agnostic approach that protects margins when disruption hits - a point worth noting for printers wary of being locked into a single supplier's ecosystem.
That ambition is backed by serious investment. As I reported for FESPA, Durst has also committed more than €15 million to a new Textile innovation hub in Como, due to open in January 2027, with a chemistry centre and a 1,000 square metre customer experience centre. The message from Brixen was unambiguous: the future of textile printing is a system, not a machine.
Elsewhere, we learned how software can transform a business without hardware investment. Swedish print-on-demand company TidyMerch doubled its revenue by investing in Gelato Connect production software rather than more hardware - proof that the next margin gain on your floor might not require new capital equipment at all.
Production: Where the Market Is Moving
Décor. In Decor on Demand for FESPA, we noted that digital décor is forecast to grow at up to 20.3% CAGR to 2030, and that minimum orders have collapsed from around 200 metres to a run of one. On the technology side, EFI Reggiani's waterless, beltless ecoNEXT Plus brings that agility to curtains and upholstery, reporting energy and water use as it prints.
The demand behind these numbers is real: Based in the UK, the Sanderson Design Group's statutory profit before tax rose 69% in the first half of 2026.
Fashion. Scale and flexibility now coexist. Ratti, featured in The Textile Reset, has grown from one digital printer producing 1,000 metres a day in 2009 to 24 digital machines producing up to 20,000 - a trajectory worth studying if you're planning your own capacity expansion.
Garment decoration. DTF is the biggest shift, and premiumisation is its engine, as our Fespa embellishment panel concluded. Print technology continues to evolve to meet demand: Epson's SureColor G9000 roll-to-roll Direct to Film printer is now available across Europe, Resolute DTF UV61-3Di adds embossed 3D effects, as does Stahls Liquid Ink solution.
Digital technology is steadily disrupting the screen sector – Kornit report that 60% of their 2026 equipment sales were attributed to companies previously limited by analogue. Meanwhile - Brother’s industrial Digital line 2000 - needs just one operator take a blank shirt to a finished garment at scale (1440 per day). This hybrid approach within the garment decoration sector is worthy of note.
Sportswear. Durability is the battleground and technical textiles are in demand. Kornit's Presto Max Plus uses abrasion-resistant DuraTech for stretchable performance in print. New technology from Zimmer, the Colaris 72 - addresses the performance and high specifications of the printed technical fabrics sector. Meanwhile for carpets - the Colaris solution continues to dominate and meet the demand for durable, personalised volume carpet production.
Beyond the Dispatch Bay: Data Becomes the Product
The journey no longer ends when the goods ship. As I set out for FESPA, the Digital Product Passport will capture the substrate, inks and dyes, print process, chemical compliance, water and energy use, traceability and end-of-life instructions for every printed textile. Sun Chemical's Dr Simon Daplyn has urged the industry to prepare now for 2027–2033 compliance.
For printers, this is not a distant regulatory footnote. The businesses that can supply that data cleanly - from design file to finished metre - will become preferred partners. Transparency is no longer optional, and it is fast becoming a sales advantage.
The Path Forward: Connect Every Link
Design, colour, workflow, production, data. Each link now depends on the one before it, and the printers who will lead the market are those who strengthen the whole chain, not just the machinery at its centre.
So, this autumn, ask the bigger question on your own shop floor. Not "which printer?" but "how well does my business connect demand, design and production?"

Rebés's story isn't one of nostalgia - It's a working blueprint for how heritage manufacturers can stay indispensable in a market that rewards speed, certification, and specificity in equal measure. Four million metres of stock mean nothing without the digital printing capability to turn it into something distinctive.
A 150-year name means nothing without the R&D discipline to win a tender for antistatic, carbon-fibre-infused uniform fabric on the first attempt.

What if the next dress you wore never touched the factory floor?
This is no longer a fringe experiment. It is a maturing production model, backed by genuine material science, real circularity, and an AI-assisted workflow that is becoming more accessible by the month.
Her advice to designers and brands alike is refreshingly practical: start small, get hands-on with an accessible 3D printer, and build fluency before the technology becomes table stakes. The businesses that treat this moment with curiosity, rather than scepticism, will be the ones shaping fashion's next decade rather than reacting to it.
The 2027 FESPA Awards are now open for entry, and the message to businesses across textiles, apparel, interiors and beyond is simple: your work deserves recognition. Every gold winner featured here started in the same place every entrant does - with a project they believed was worth submitting.
As the only independent awards programme with 18 categories dedicated to print and signage, FESPA offers a genuinely global stage, with shortlisted entries displayed at FESPA Global Print Expo in Spring 2027.
Colour Is Too Important to Leave to Chance
Print will always be the part of the garment people see first.
But the sum of all parts — the fabric, the trims, the fasteners, the finish — is what determines whether a design actually delivers on its promise. Brands that continue to treat colour as a single creative decision, rather than a coordinated technical discipline spanning their entire supply chain, will keep paying for it in re-dips, delays, and disappointed design teams.
A Century of Textiles, and an Ever-changing World
Few companies can trace their roots back more than a century and still count themselves among their industry's innovators. Texia, headquartered in Monistrol de Montserrat, Spain, is one of them.
But the story of Texia is not simply one of longevity.
It is a story of continual reinvention. As the textile industry has grown more global and competitive, Texia has repeatedly reshaped its business, investing in technology, developing its own brands, and placing sustainability at the centre of its mission. In doing so, it offers a compelling example of how a heritage manufacturer can lead rather than follow through a period of profound industry change. Image Credit: Texia
What are we craving Ultimately?
The instinct to slow down while simultaneously optimising every measurable aspect of life isn't a passing curiosity. It's a structural response to a world that feels increasingly unstable, and it's reshaping what people expect from their homes, hotels, workplaces and healthcare environments alike.
For the design and manufacturing sectors, this means rethinking both product and process.
The Structual Shift is Real and its Already Here
Volumes are moving east, where digital production is accelerating rapidly. Consumer behaviour has shifted.
Demand is now driven by personalisation, shorter buying cycles, and an expectation of near-instant responsiveness. Regulatory pressure is intensifying, with supply chain transparency now a legal and commercial fact in many markets. And margins? They are under sustained, structural pressure.
This is not a temporary disruption. It is a fundamental reordering of how textile manufacturing must operate.
The Challenge: Standing Firm as the Industry Shifts
The wallpaper landscape has changed dramatically. Digital printing has lowered the barrier to entry, spawning countless direct-to-consumer brands and pushing much of the market towards faster, cheaper production.
At the same time, manufacturing in the UK has grown steadily harder - rising minimum wage, national insurance, energy and substrate costs all bear down on margins. Surface Print have embraced all of these challenges - and stand resolutely prepared for the future.
From Helsinki's printing mill to Paris's Le Marais, discover how Marimekko is scaling a design-led brand with purpose, craft, and bold innovation.
But what makes Marimekko's story compelling is not just its aesthetic legacy?
The word "toxic" carries weight. It conjures danger, harm, and things best avoided.
“Yet in the textile industry - Where between 3,000 and 10,000 chemicals move through the supply chain, a reflexive fear of the term is one of our biggest obstacles to progress.”
This article distils the key takeaways and what buyers, designers, and brands should be asking right now.
What Is the Digital Product Passport?
At its core, a Digital Product Passport is a digital record attached to a physical product - For a printed textile product, this means the DPP would capture data on the substrate, inks and dyes used, the printing process and technology, chemical compliance, environmental impact (including water and energy use), supply chain traceability, and end-of-life instructions.
The Market Gap that Changed Everything
Future Fashion was founded in 2019, timed deliberately to coincide with a pivotal moment in global textile technology: the commercial launch of the EFI Reggiani BOLT Single-Pass digital printing system.
The founders recognised that single-pass architecture had fundamentally changed what was industrially possible - and that Pakistan's domestic market had yet to catch up.
Print is no longer defined by the inefficiencies that once characterised it…as advances in production processes and technology have significantly improved its environmental performance.
Taran Rai, Corporate Sustainability Manager at Epson explains why?
The story of what happens when young designers access digital technology is still being written.
What once was a theoretical sustainability goal seems to have shifted into an active regulatory reality.
Is the Textile Market Finally Recovering?
After a difficult few years, there are genuine reasons for optimism. Duncan was candid about the challenges: "The market for textiles has been very difficult over the last three years. I'm not going to hide the truth there. But the tide is turning.“
A profound shift is currently reshaping the sector
Changing consumer expectations demand greater design diversity, faster turnaround times, and sustainable manufacturing practices.
To thrive, interior brands must adapt their supply chains, bringing production closer to the end consumer and moving away from bulk manufacturing.
Digital textile printing offers a definitive solution to these operational bottlenecks.
Digital transformation doesn't announce itself.
It accumulates - one innovation at a time - until an entire industry looks back and realises the ground has shifted beneath its feet. That's precisely where textiles stands today.
The conversations happening now about AI, automation, sustainability, and digital product passports are not theoretical. They are shaping decisions being made on factory floors and in boardrooms right now.
“By leveraging advanced digital textile printing, Marylene Madou has successfully merged traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. Her approach offers a blueprint for how independent designers can scale their brands globally while maintaining a minimal environmental footprint.”
The textile industry is undergoing a vital transformation. As the insights from Techtextil and Texprocess reveal, the path forward relies on a combination of sustainable hardware, intelligent chemistry, and seamless digital workflows.
From Zimmer's industrial-scale energy reductions and Stratasys's on-demand 3D embellishments, to Kornit's single-step technical printing and the unified digital ecosystems of NedGraphics and Optitex, the tools for change are here. To stay competitive, brands and manufacturers must adopt these innovations, moving away from fragmented, wasteful processes towards a truly connected, circular economy.
Friedmans stands as a testament to the power of combining traditional textile knowledge with forward-thinking innovation.
“Operating from their UK headquarters, Friedmans now serves a diverse array of sectors, including swimwear, dance, entertainment, sportswear, interior decor, prosthetics, and even pet apparel. With a strategic supply chain that reliably serves clients worldwide”
