With just over 2 weeks to go before the opening day of the show, a host of international screen, digital and textile printing manufacturers are getting ready to showcase the latest technologies and applications to the speciality print sector at Global Print Expo 2019.

Following the success of the Global Print Expo 2018 in Berlin, print service providers (PSPs) and sign-makers will gather once again in Munich to experience a wide variety of print technologies, consumables and materials from both leading brands and smaller businesses.

Textile Print

With Print Make Wear one of the key features at this year’s Global Print Expo, textile is set to be a key talking point at the event, counting over 160 exhibitors showing textile solutions. First time exhibitor Omniprint (Hall A6, Stand D40) will be using FESPA 2019 as a platform for displaying its range of direct-to-garment (DTG) printing technologies, including its latest system, the Cheetah Industrial DTG. With quality prints up to 1800dpi, the Cheetah is one of the fastest industrial DTG printers on the market, boasting high print quality and compatibility with a wide range of materials, including 100% polyester and cotton/poly blends.

Digital Print

FESPA Global Print Expo 2019 will see the world premiere of Karibu, the first roll-to-roll printer from swissQprint (Hall A5, Stand H30). Little is known about the new system at present, but the Swiss company has confirmed that it will come with a range of standout features, including: a roll handling system that enables fast loading; a finely segmentable vacuum system; new output software; and a bespoke ink set.

Screen Print

SPS TechnoScreen (Hall A6, Stand A51) will introduce the new SPS ASTRON QX, a full servo-driven cylinder machine designed for high-end industrial screen printing applications.

Inks

German ink manufacturer, Marabu (Hall B5, Stand E28), will be presenting its offering for screen, digital and pad printing, for both graphic and industrial applications.

Sun Chemical (Hall B4, Stand K10), will also showcase its portfolio of screen, industrial, wide format and super wide format inkjet inks.

Workflow and Colour Management

As a developer of software applications for sign-making, screen printing, garment decorating and digital printing, CADLink (Hall A6, Stand E34) is promoting the latest version of its Digital Factory OKI™ Edition RIP software, which enables users to manage their print workflows more efficiently.

The Epson Edge Print software for its S-series and F-series printers will be a highlight on the Epson stand (Hall B5, Stand G10). The software supports Epson’s Precision Dot technology, including its halftone module, look-up tables and micro-weave combining to make an instantly noticeable difference to the final print quality.

Substrates

Self-adhesive specialist Aslan (Hall A5, Stand F65) will be presenting MetalLux ASLAN SE 50 (available in platinum and champagne versions), a sophisticated film suitable for application over entire surfaces or for use as selective highlights; and MirrorEffect AntiScratch ASLAN SE 75 (available in silver and gold), featuring a double-sided mirror effect and superior scratch resistance.

Sustainability

As more print technology providers continue to embrace greener practices, Brand Management Group (Hall A5, Stand H55), the official partner of HP Large Format Media, will be placing special focus on HP’s latest sustainable solution for printed canvases, a huge market segment in the wide format print industry.

Roz Guarnori, Exhibitions Director at FESPA, comments: “The best feedback we’ve received from our visitors in the past is that they learn something new at every FESPA event and we are confident that they will once again be inspired by what’s on show. FESPA is known as a platform for product launches and innovation, and we’ll be expecting more announcements from our exhibitors before the beginning of the event.”
