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

Bhargav Mistry, managing director at Grafica Flextronica, said, “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.”

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.

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 printheads that can be configured according to requirement.

The KnitShow will provide an opportunity for the garment manufacturers and printers in the Manchester of Tamil Nadu to experience live demonstrations.
