Similarly, the FESPA Digital exhibition in Geneva in April will feature a number of exhibitors whose solutions are targeted specifically at textile printers, and recent research carried out by FESPA in conjunction with industry consultants InfoTrends indicates that a staggering 92.6% of FESPA visitors questioned cited textiles as the application experiencing greatest growth.
Frazer Chesterman continues: “With these unprecedented levels of interest in textile applications, FESPA has a clear remit to help printers assess the possibilities that exist with digital textile production. The introduction of a dedicated FESPA digital textile conference in parallel with our Digital exhibition is an apt response.”
Conference moderator and digital textile expert John Scrimshaw adds: “We've seen major advances in the technical maturity of digital textile printing equipment in the past few years, so much so that many of the machinery and ink suppliers now offer specially designed solutions for each niche market. Textile printers have a wide array of equipment and ink chemistries to choose from, and as many different markets to explore.
“We're confident that this conference will help put the various technologies into their commercial context, not just describing the latest print head, ink or software package, but explaining the potential of the various digital textile printing markets and identifying which technologies work best in them.”
