At ITMA 2015, Roland DG brought its digital sublimation and print & cut technologies to life, demonstrating each stage of the production process with ‘real-time’ workflows – from initial designs through to finished garments and samples – for visitors to take away.
The company booth was packed with creative and innovative samples, including fashion, sportswear, interior decor and soft signage, allowing show visitors from India the chance to see applications direct from the supplier, which is promoted and supported by, and available from Apsom Infotex Ltd. within the Indian sub-continent..
Copies of Roland’s Dye Sublimation Guide, which outlines the exciting commercial opportunities that digital sublimation printing presents, were available for visitors.
Encarna Luque, Business Development Director for Roland DG, states: “As a company with a heritage in the textile and garment sector, Roland DG is excited to be participating in ITMA, one of the leading global shows for the industry. We want to inspire and help visitors to understand how going digital with Roland’s sublimation and print & cut technologies can benefit their businesses – whether they are currently using analogue textile technologies and considering a move to digital, or are looking to add to their existing digital device portfolio.”
Encarna Luque adds: “Customers will be particularly interested in the cost efficiencies and increased margins offered by our digital solutions and the versatility in terms of output and the sheer range of applications. Also, the flexibility to adapt production to the requirements of end customers with ‘just-in-time’ processes, short runs and samples on demand. The reliability of the technology is another great benefit, enabling unattended printing to optimise production.”
At the show, Roland also showcased an exciting and varied range of technologies, including the affordable and intuitive Texart digital sublimation RT-640 printer and the accompanying CS-64 calender unit.
For short runs and customisation of items such as T-shirts, caps, shoes, bags and accessories, the company will be demonstrating the versatility of its integrated print & cut solutions, including the best-selling VersaCAMM series of wide-format inkjet printers for durable graphics, and BN-20 desktop print & cut device.
Budding entrepreneurs will be inspired by the ability of the VersaUV LEF-20 desktop flatbed to print directly onto a vast number of objects, transforming them into profitable, personalised items.
