A stand-out attraction of the event was the recently released 100 Series, which is priced affordably to allow printers entry into different markets, as many look to expand their portfolio in these uncertain times. The new JFX600-2513 and JFX550-2513, which debuted a few weeks prior at virtual drupa, similarly are higher end but still affordable printers, when compared to other large format UV flatbed machines in its class. 3D full colour print technology also featured heavily in the event, as Mimaki explored the exciting propositions it opens up in different markets and how the brand continues to extend the reach and accessibility of cutting-edge 3D technologies with its upcoming 3DUJ-2207 printer.

Mr. Kazuaki Ikeda, President of Mimaki Engineering commented, “I’d like to extend my thanks to everyone who joined us during this exciting new virtual event. During the pandemic, carrying on innovating has been central to Mimaki’s objectives, with eight new products having been released since October, and even more scheduled to come out over the course of this year. I hope that we can soon all meet at in-person events, once it’s safe to do so, but until then I’m excited to see the results of the continued collaboration and innovation of print industry that we saw in our Innovation Days event.”

Amsterdam - Mimaki Europe, a leading manufacturer of inkjet printers and cutting systems, announces today that Pakistani textile company, Moti Fabrics (Pvt) Ltd., is leveraging multiple Mimaki Tiger industrial textile printing units to take its business to the next level. As a result of on the outstanding performance and process optimisation delivered by the Mimaki digital printing equipment, the company has been able to adapt to changes in the textile industry and is now projected to reinforce its market position and expand its capabilities in high-quality textile production.

Headquartered in Faisalabad, Punjab province – the second largest textile hub in Pakistan –, Moti Fabrics (Pvt) Ltd. mainly serves the high fashion industry and uses its cutting-edge technology to print about 100,000 metres daily. Faced with recent challenges in the global textile market, management at Moti Fabrics (Pvt) Ltd. embarked on innovating the company’s business model, shifting from conventional to digital printing. In doing so, the company invested in Mimaki’s advanced industrial textile technology and installed three Mimaki Tiger-1800B MkII units. “We were – and still are – experiencing a massive transformation in the printing segment, with brands demanding high quality products delivered within short deadlines. This change in our customers’ requirements urged us to move to digital printing,” says Muhammad Asif, CEO at Moti Fabrics (Pvt) Ltd. “Our choice has already proved sound as our brand-new Tiger-1800B MkII printing systems have enabled us to cope with the high standards of the fashion industry in terms of both quality and delivery times. In addition, we have been able to gradually enhance our production processes in a cost-effective way.”

The Tiger-1800B MkII is Mimaki’s flagship industrial volume textile printer, available either in dye sublimation configuration for transfer printing or with reactive ink for direct-to-textile printing. Of the three Mimaki Tiger-1800B MkII solutions operating at Moti Fabrics (Pvt) Ltd., two are equipped with reactive inks, enabling the company to directly print onto natural fibres such as cotton and linen, as well as onto manufactured cellulose fibres, including rayon and nylon. The third Mimaki Tiger-1800B MkII features sublimation inks serves the ever-growing printed polyester market, allowing the company to strategically diversify its product portfolio.

“There are several features of the Tiger-1800B MkII that benefit our production and our business at large. The MAPS (Mimaki Advanced Pass System), just to name one, prevents banding and colour-shifting to deliver a higher standard of quality, while the NRS (Nozzle Recovery System) provides uninterrupted production, minimising downtime and ensuring superior results. The sticky belt system together with the large-size ink tanks (with a capacity of 10kg) and the high-performance software RIP TxLink3 are some of the other features that make these printers efficient, user-friendly and reliable,” says Asif.

Asif concludes, “Looking at the future, our aim is to set up a print department featuring only Mimaki’s technologies. We are already considering the next steps to make this possible, knowing that we can count on the support of Signtrade, Mimaki’s dealer in the region and our trustworthy partner.”

Moti Fabrics (Pvt) Ltd. was founded in 1992 by Muhammad Asif’s father Haji Muhammad Yousaf and his partner Haji Rasheed Ahmad. Established as a dyeing company, Moti Fabrics (Pvt) Ltd. was able to gradually diversify the business over the years to become an advanced textile printing specialist. Today, the company is an established provider to the high fashion industry in Pakistan and on an international level.

“The story of Moti Fabrics is incredibly inspiring. Belonging to a region with such rooted textile printing heritage, the company has been able to embrace a new, challenging business model in order to stay at pace with the changing demand from the textile industry and has succeeded,” comments Ronald van den Broek, General Sales Manager at Mimaki Europe. “Customers like Moti Fabrics make us proud as they demonstrate how our advanced Mimaki Tiger industrial textile series can be the enabling technology for those textile companies planning the shift from conventional to digital printing.”

Amsterdam - Mimaki Europe präsentiert seine neuen Textildrucklösungen an einem virtuellen Stand auf der diesjährigen Innovate Textile & Apparel Virtual Trade Show (15. bis 30. Oktober 2020). An dem virtuellen Stand können Besucher, wie bei einer konventionellen Messe, Technik in Aktion sehen und mit den Mimaki-Vertretern über neue Markttrends und Lösungen zu neuen Anforderungen sprechen. Im Mittelpunkt des interaktiven Stands stehen zwei Drucker: der TS55-1800 – Sublimationsdrucker und Mimaki-Flaggschiff – und der neue Hybriddrucker TX300P-1800 MkII. Die Besucher profitieren außerdem von exklusiven Messeaktionen, darunter ein Sonderangebot für den TS300P-1800 und die Chance auf den Gewinn eines Sublimationsdruckers der Einstiegsklasse.

Der Sublimationsdruck ist eine bahnbrechende Technologie zum Bedrucken von Polyester, Textilien mit Polyesteranteil sowie Elastan. Er liefert hochwertige, strahlende Drucke und eignet sich für den On-demand-Betrieb. Der industrielle Produktionsdrucker TS55-1800 bietet diese Technologie, gepaart mit der von Mimaki bekannten Expertise und Innovationskraft. Zur Ausstattung gehören NCU (Nozzle Check Unit) zur Düsenprüfung und NRS (Nozzle Recovery System) zur Düsenwiederherstellung, Kerntechnologien von Mimaki, die verstopfte Düsen ohne Unterbrechung des Betriebs automatisch erkennen und ersetzen. Weiteres Technologiemerkmal: Ein MAPS (Mimaki Advanced Pass System) zur Vermeidung von Streifenbildung berechnet bei jedem Druckdurchgang mit einem speziellen Algorithmus den effektivsten Tropfenausstoß auf Basis von Farbe, Abdeckung und Geschwindigkeit.

Mit der optionalen „Mini Jumbo“-Rolle, die bis zu einem Viertel der Papierkosten sparen kann, und einem 10-Liter-Tintenbehälter bietet der Mimaki TS55-1800 die niedrigsten Betriebskosten unter seinesgleichen auf dem Markt und ist der ideale Produktionsdrucker für kleine und mittlere Unternehmen. Die Sonderaktion von Mimaki auf der Innovate Textile & Apparel Virtual Trade Show macht ihn noch attraktiver für Unternehmen, die in diesen schwierigen Zeiten ihr Angebot diversifizieren möchten.

Der Anfang des Jahres eingeführte Hybriddrucker Tx300P-1800 MkII kann Textilien und Papier bedrucken. Mit seiner beispiellosen Flexibilität erschließt er Druckdienstleistern völlig neue Möglichkeiten. Die Umstellung zwischen Textildirektdruck und Transferdruck erfolgt über eine schnell wechselbare Druckplatte. Der Drucker kann mit drei Tintenkombinationen konfiguriert werden: Textilpigment-/ Direktsublimationstinte, Textilpigment-/Sublimationstransfertinte oder Direktsublimations-/Sublimationstransfertinte. Damit bewältigt er von Mode über Heimtextilien bis hin zu Tapeten vielfältige Anwendungen. Von den Vorzügen des erschwinglichen und vielseitigen Druckers – kostengünstige Kleinauflagen, schnellere Bearbeitungszeiten und Eignung zur Produktion von Textilmustern –  können kleinere Dienstleister ebenso profitieren wie große Druckereien.

Organisator der Innovate Textile & Apparel Virtual Trade Show ist das World Textile Information Network (WTiN). Die virtuelle Messe soll Ausstellern und Besuchern eine vor den Verwerfungen der Pandemie geschützte Plattform bieten. Mimaki unterstützt diese Philosophie und freut sich auf den virtuellen Besuch von Kunden und Interessenten, die das Unternehmen mit den Messeaktionen – einschließlich der Chance auf Gewinn eines Mimaki TS30-1300-Sublimationsdruckers der Einstiegsklasse(1) – bei ihrer nächsten Investition unterstützen möchte.

„Auf der Innovate Textile & Apparel Virtual Trade Show können wir unsere Position auf dem Textilmarkt weiter stärken, mit unseren Kunden interagieren und uns mit der gesamten Branche austauschen“, erklärt Danna Drion, Senior Marketing Manager bei Mimaki Europe. „Unser Portfolio umfasst Technologien verschiedenen Typs und wir möchten die Vorteile jedes Druckers erläutern, damit Textildruckereien die richtige Technologie für ihr Geschäft finden. Trotz der schwierigen Zeiten sollen Kunden und Interessenten die Möglichkeiten unserer Lösungen möglichst detailliert kennenlernen. Wir möchten ihnen auch mit unseren Messeaktionen die Möglichkeit bieten, ihre nächste Investition mit Zuversicht zu tätigen, damit sie ihre Produktionslinie für einen weiterhin rentablen und wettbewerbsfähigen Betrieb maximieren können. Wir freuen uns, dass diese virtuelle Veranstaltung das ermöglicht.“

Auf der Innovate Textile & Apparel Virtual Trade Show stehen Experten von Mimaki rund um die Uhr für Einzelgespräche im Live-Chat zur Verfügung. Mimaki Europe, Mimaki USA und Mimaki Global arbeiten zusammen, sodass Besucher auf der ganzen Welt jederzeit Zugang zu regionalen Ansprechpartnern haben.

Baldwin: six precision spray systems in 60 days for textile manufacturers

  • Fabric finishing and sanforization systems installed in the US and Turkey to enhance productivity

ST. LOUIS - Baldwin Technology Company Inc. has successfully installed six new fabric finishing and sanforizing precision spray systems in the US and Turkey. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the installations were completed in just 60 days, thanks to close collaboration between onsite Baldwin textile team members, local agents and remote support from the company’s product and technology center in Sweden.
For textiles, non-wovens and technical textiles, Baldwin’s precision spray technology processes a wide range of low-viscosity water-based chemicals, such as softeners, anti-microbial agents, water repellents, oil  repellents, flame retardants and more.

ST. LOUIS - Baldwin Technology Company Inc. has successfully installed six new fabric finishing and sanforizing precision spray systems in the US and Turkey. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the installations were completed in just 60 days, thanks to close collaboration between onsite Baldwin textile team members, local agents and remote support from the company’s product and technology center in Sweden.
For textiles, non-wovens and technical textiles, Baldwin’s precision spray technology processes a wide range of low-viscosity water-based chemicals, such as softeners, anti-microbial agents, water repellents, oil  repellents, flame retardants and more.

These systems enable fabric producers to significantly reduce chemical and water consumption, while speeding up production times and eliminating production steps, including drying and bath changeovers when switching fabric colors. “Our customers are major manufacturers in fabric dying, finishing and remoistening, and we want to provide outstanding service and support—even in times like this,” said Rick Stanford, Business Development Leader at Baldwin and the commercial leader of the US installations. “Not only does our precision spray technology enhance productivity in their process, but there is also zero waste, which goes hand-in-hand with the increased sustainability focus in the textile industry.”

In North Carolina, two new TexCoat G4 precision spray systems are now in production with major international vertical manufacturers of outdoor living, performance fabrics and automotive fabrics. In Georgia, a major vertical manufacturer of workwear and protective fabrics installed a sanfor precision spray system, which has helped the customer obtain deeper penetration of moisture into fabrics treated with durable water repellents. In Turkey, three new TexCoat G4 systems were installed in Çorlu, northwest of Istanbul, for a large producer of knit fabrics, such as T-shirts. “In Turkey, the manufacturer purchased and installed one TexCoat G4 system before COVID-19, and the customer was so pleased with the results that, during the pandemic, three more were purchased,” said Simone Morellini, Sales Manager- EMEAR at Baldwin and the commercial leader of the Turkish installations. “The systems were manufactured and installed during the lockdown, and now, all four systems are up and running, and being used heavily on a daily basis.” “With the success we have seen, we plan to apply the same strategies for upcoming installations, including the next one in Honduras: strong local management and customer coordination, combined with  effective remote support during the installation,” said Stanford.

Online retail sales in the United Kingdom nearly doubled from 2013 to 2019, reaching more than £76 billion last year—making it the third-biggest e-commerce market globally (following China and the United States).

“We’ve seen substantial growth in the United Kingdom in recent years and owe a great deal of success to our partners” said Chris Govier, Kornit Digital Managing Director—EMEA. “A dedicated UK distribution hub will ensure faster and more efficient service to our growing customer base, maximizing our customers’ uptime and productivity, and we look forward to building upon our success as the pre-eminent provider of digital print technologies to this largest of European markets.”

The reseller agreement with United Kingdom-based Adelco Screen Process Ltd. has been terminated, and Kornit will assume all these customer relationships directly. Kornit will maintain its strong partnership with Amaya, which has established a considerable footprint as textile print solutions provider to the British textile decoration community.

The new charity movement during Berlin Fashion Week

For SEEK’s 10thBirthday we want to give something to those who are usually overlooked. Together with One Warm Winter, we are wrapping up Goodie Bags for the homeless and taking them where they are actually needed – to the streets. That’s why we are asking brands to donate old collection pieces, samples, stock, etc.
 
“We are really happy to team up with One Warm Winter for our SEEK donation initiative. We want to counteract the omnipresent throwaway mentality. Every step counts. Homelessness is a growing issue, especially in Berlin – we hope to bring some warmth to the city streets.”
– SEEK Team
 
“With the GiveBag the fashion industry is setting an important example in terms of awareness and sustainability. Ultimately, these bags are filled with what is often left out by the economy: true charity.”
– Dominic Czaja, One Warm Winter

– Dominic Czaja, One Warm Winter
 
The huge One Warm Winter GiveBag will be filled on all three show days (15–17 January) in front of the SEEK location at Arena Berlin. Every donor will receive a donation receipt and stay informed about the next steps. The GiveBags will be handed out to people in need by the SEEK team and One Warm Winter at the next charity event.

Additional support will be provided by TOMS with a requested voluntary donation in exchange for a nice hot coffee. The end sum will be matched by TOMS and donated directly to One Warm Winter.
 
“Giving is at the heart of everything we do at TOMS, but it’s projects like this that are in our own backyard that hit home the most. Homelessness is one of the issues closest to our hearts, so we couldn’t be more honoured to work with SEEK and One Warm Winter this season to lend a hand to our friends in Berlin that need it most.”
– Lisa Hogg, TOMS EMEA Marketing Director
 
The reaction from the SEEK brands towards our initiative has been amazingly positive – almost all of them are actively and enthusiastically participating by donating garments that cannot be sold anymore.
 
“Palladium Boots is very excited about this call for action and being able to take part in supporting the cause. City terrain is what we are built on and we are glad to gift a little warmth and particularly the gesture of humanity together with SEEK and One Warm Winter.”
– Melanie Bruss, Marketing Manager, Palladium Boots D, AT & NL
 
“The entire CHIEMSEE family is amazed by this initiative! It’s a great feeling to pass on some warmth and distribute it more fairly. Thank you SEEK and One Warm Winter for the idea – the fashion industry definitely needs more of those!”

For this project, KMS partnered with Proteus Water Inc., a Canadian company focused on providing integrated wastewater treatment solutions for small communities.

The PURON® PLUS system featuring PULSION MBR membranes is here with a very promising solution due to its increased efficiency and its decreased footprint.”
 
Capable of treating an average design flow of approximately 100,000 gpd (375 m3/d) of municipal wastewater, the PURON® PLUS P-100 system selected for this project features KMS’ latest innovative and patented PULSION® MBR technology. The benefits of PULSION® MBR offer best in class reliability and productivity with the lowest energy consumption.
 
“The efficiency and the reliability of MBR systems has been proven in thousands of places all over the world and it will be the best applicable solution for the Canadian market,” said Jack Noble, general manager Water and Wastewater (EMEA) of Koch Membrane Systems.
