high-density backlit signs and so much more with ultra-high resolution, ultra-high speed printing,” says Nick Davies, Director at i-Sub. “Matched with the speed and effi- ciency of the Monti Antonio heat presses, soft signage workflow is fast with consis- tently superb results.” i-Sub understands the Monti Antonio heat press range, as the team has been the supplier and supporter of their machinery in the UK for 25 years.
The EFI VUTEk FabriVU 180 and 340 print- ers produce robust soft signs and fabric dis- plays that retain the drape and soft hand customers prefer, while still creating spec- tacular graphics that can be washed and dried without wrinkling, folded without leav- ing marks, and reused time and time again. The EFI VUTEk FabriVU machines can print direct to textile or onto transfer paper, and changeover from one to the other is fast and simple. This means users can offer cus- tomers more choice in textiles while also saving money by using lower cost substrate materials.

Sewing soft signage As professional printers and graphics professions strive for perfect printing quality on fabrics, they don’t want to worry about the quality of postproduc- tion processes or the sewing quality.
A Monti Antonio Heat Press
As most frames are sold in pre-determined size, professionals require perfect and pre- cise cutting as well as a sewing procedure that won’t alter the size of the finished arti- cle to ensure a perfect fit into the frames.
IMPULSA has 70 years of ex- perience in textile processing,
IMPULSA has 70 years of experience in tex- tile processing, working together with their UK distributor Alan Godrich Sewing Ma- chines. Their ATAS system reduces normal sewing times by 50 per cent, reducing the operator’s required skill factor and enabling printing companies to produce in house whilst adhering to control quality and all-im- portant delivery schedules.“It is very impor- tant that the unwinding of the Keder does not cause tension, as any tension will ad- versely influence the result of the sewing process," says Nigel Reeve. Keder is a name for the tape, silicone or PVC, which is sewn to the edge of the printed article so it can be inserted into the aluminium frame.
With Keder on big and heavy reels, if you cannot manage to prevent tension from the tape between unwinding and sewing, you will not get the desired result even with the best sewing head. To combat this, IM- PULSA has developed different unwinding technologies either with or without relaxing systems for silicon rubber tapes as well as for PVC, from small reels of 50m up to larger reels of 200m, and for reels with bob- bin inside or for the open system without.
