Focus on extile Printer Soyang Hardware
A creative and highly visual market
Demand for digitally printed textiles has surged in recent years. Whether it is soft signage, interior décor, promotional displays or fashion-forward retail environments, there are plenty of exciting opportunities in this creative and highly visual market. The growth of textile printing is being fuelled by a perfect storm: sustainability demands, customer appetite for fabric-based solutions, and the expanding capabilities of dye sublimation and direct to textile printers. As brands shift away from PVC-based products towards more planet-friendly options, textiles offer printers the ideal solution. Textiles are lightweight, recyclable, and often reusable, aligning perfectly with brands’ environmental targets. Combine this with how textile materials allow users to produce vibrant, soft-touch and crease-resistant graphics, and this opens up all manner of opportunities across various, profitable markets. Driving innovation within this sector is constantly evolving wide-format textile printing hardware, empowering users to deliver cost-effective output at speed, scale and, importantly, high quality. Investment in reliable, trusted and up-to-date solutions will yield high quality results in print.
Mimaki TS330-3200DS 200DS One example is the Mimaki TS330-3200DS, which, available from
Soyang Hardware, offers a highly efficient solution for direct to film and textile applications. With reduced handling and fast turnaround, users are also supported by colour management, ICC profiling, and specialist training from Soyang. Alongside this are several options from Mimaki’s advanced
dye-sublimation range. These include the TS100-1600, providing a cost-effective entry into the soft signage market, and the high-performance TS330 Series, delivering unparalleled speed and precision for demanding production environments. Add in that these machines run with Mimaki’s sublimation inks, enabling flawless transfer results onto polyester-based textiles and allowing users to produce all manner of striking, textile-based applications. Textile printing is no longer a niche; it is a natural progression.
With the right setup and support from reliable partners such as Soyang, making the switch is not only profitable but futureproof.
