TEXINTEL TALKS - EPISODE 040 - NEW TECHNOLOGIES FOR A NEW GENERATION - NORTHUMBRIA UNIVERSITY HP STITCH
Written By Debbie Mckeegan
In this Interview with Kenny Macrae of Northumbria University we talk through the application of digital technologies, the new HP Stitch textile printing machine, and importantly how such access to digital equipment will educate the next generation to deliver a vibrant, creative and sustainable textile industry in the years ahead.
The Textile department at Northumbria University recently invested in the HP Stitch Dye Sublimation print technology to further expand its digital printing capabilities. The university has a suite of digital textile printing machinery alongside cutting technologies and supporting software with which the students can design, develop and create textiles across multiple departments.
Dye sublimation is a huge growth sector and enables greater variance of application – as essential in a learning facility as it is in a live production environment.
The future of design, print and manufacturing is smart, efficient and agile – for print to thrive we must invest in the education sector, share emerging technologies, expert knowledge and encourage industry collaboration as an imperative if we are to inspire a new generation of design and print practitioners.
