Aeoon’s digital textile printing machines to be displayed at KnitShow Tirupur

KnitShow, one-stop selling and sourcing platform getting bigger with every year since start to be held in Tirupur, from 7 to 9 August 2016 will provide an opportunity for the garment manufacturers and printers in the Manchester of Tamil Nadu to experience live demonstrations.

Grafica, a manufacturer and exporter of screen printing machines joined hands with Aeoon Technologies, Austria, to market their digital textile printing machines in the Indian market by displaying Aeoon’s digital textile printing machine at the KnitShow Tirupur.

Aeoon’s CEO, Angelo Schiestl, who will be present at KnitShow said that it is true that digital DTG presses were hitherto used for low volume or novelty production, but with Aeoon’s new technology, it can now become the industrial production method for garment decoration.

Bhargav Mistry, managing director at Grafica Flextronica, said that both digital and screen printing technologies can co-exist. While digital press can be used for printing spot and CMYK colours even with big quantity, screen printing process would still be required to print high density and special effects.

The Aeoon can reach printing speed of up to 950 t-shirts per hour (A4 print size, depending on image and resolution). The machine is available with four or eight print heads that can be configured according to requirement.

To-date two Aeoon digital textile printers have been sold in India through their partners Grafica Flextronica.

Knit Show is organized by city leaves is the definitive gateway that shares local knowledge and helps businesses reach out to the textile and garment machinery & accessories market worldwide.
