ShanghaiTex 2017 All Set To Showcase Latest Textile Digital Printing Applications

The ShanghaiTex 2017 trade fair (November 27 to November 30, 2017) in China, will showcase the latest digital printing technology and applications under the "customisation" trend, besides its potential to move towards ‘Industry 4.0’, with a focus on short production cycle, low-volume and on-demand production.

With an exhibition area of more than 100,000 square meters, ShanghaiTex 2017 expects the participation of over 1,200 exhibitors and more than 50,000 professional buyers. The show’s display of the latest digital printing equipment and technologies will help industry players to transform their businesses and unlock their potential.

Following its popularity from the last edition, the Digital Printing Machinery Zone will expand to cover three halls at ShanghaiTex 2017, and has already received substantial support from renowned manufacturers like Zimmer, Mimaki, Konica Minolta, Durst, Epson, MS Specialty, EFI Reggiani, Toshin, Meijia, SPG Prints, Fujifilm, Atexco and Human Digital.

The Mimaki Trading Co Ltd will showcase its belt type direct-to-textile inkjet printer called ‘Tiger-1800B’ which features 16 print heads, a maximum print speed at 385 m2/h, and a flexible droplet print mode selection. Extensive optional units are also available for accommodating various applications, while the large-sized ink tank (10 kg) ensures cost-effective print operation. It also comes with a high-performance software RIP "TxLink3 Standard", which offers powerful colour replacement functions to represent desired colours.

Epson (China) Co Ltd will showcase its large format printer Epson Sure Color F7280. With widths up to 64-inches, Surecolor F7280 comes with Epson's exclusive PrecisionCore™ TFP® print head and an integrated roll-to-roll media support system with high accuracy winding, which ensure its high performance. The use of Epson's latest dye-sublimation ink technology - Epson UltraChrome® DS with High Density Black also offers a low total cost of ownership.

Visitors would get to witness the latest digital printing trends at the venue where experts will cover the wide ranging applications of digital printing as well as discuss hot topics regarding customisation and sustainable solutions.

The organisers have also collaborated with Intech Digital Technology for onsite display and activity, where visitors will be able to learn more about the use of digital printing on denim.
