Xpres will be showcasing the Epson SureColor SC-F3000
The Thunder can be viewed on H.G Kippax & Sons’ stand
Over on J&B Sewing Machine Co’s stand (stand A32), the team will be demonstrating how users of the Epson SureColor SC-F2100 and SureColor SC-F2000 can transform these printers into direct to film printers. Using Ecofreen PET films and Ecofreen hot melt adhesive powder, users can print onto the film and transfer onto any kind of fabric, including cotton, polyester, nylon and leather. Also showcasing the benefits of DTG printer adaption for DTF printing will be Amaya Sales UK (stand F40) using the Polyprint Texjet and MHM Direct GB (stand G60) using the Brother GTX series.
There are sure to be many more stands showcasing this new technology, so keep an eye out for further announcements in the run up to the exhibition next month.

opportunities offered by Roland digital technology. Its speed, accuracy and versatility make it ideal for garment suppliers moving from screen printing to digital, those already running multiple DTG machines, brands bringing production in-house, garment embroidery businesses looking to diversify their product offering, and many more. The digital DTG printing market is set to grow and grow, and we’re looking forward to helping more of our customers join it.” MHM Direct GB (stand G60) will be demonstrating the first DTG printer designed specifically for mass production. The Brother GTX600 features ink recirculation in four key areas, a built-in humidifier, increased print speed, increased auto cleaning frequency and reduced ink wastage. The next generation Epson SureColor SC-F3000 will receive its exhibition debut on Xpres’ stand (stand C70) in February. This production-level machine speedily delivers up to 60 full platen dark T shirt prints per hour, alongside top of the range quality with industry low ink costs; partly due to a 9L capacity bulk ink system alongside 1.5L ink pouches.
In terms of screen printing, H.G. Kippax & Sons (stand A52) will be showcasing the Thunder – an industrial-grade manual screen printing press designed to handle high-demand printing while minimising wear and tear on the user.
The Hotronix Tag Along Platen is available from Target Transfers
The Thunder is available with possible configurations of four station/ four colours, four station/ six colours, six station/ six colours, four station/ eight colours, eight station/ eight colours, 10 station/ 10 colours, and 12 station/ 12 colours.
And, for those who like to transfer their artwork from computer to screen, EXILE Technologies (stand H52) has announced that the new FREEStyler 2 DTS will receive its offi cial launch at P&P LIVE! The FREEStyler 2 frees screen printers from having to perform manual and labour- intensive fi lm registration. It features a new industrial all-metal design and upgraded mechanics and electronics for improved precision and reliability. And finally, Target Transfers (stand D30) will be bringing along a selection of new products to P&P LIVE! This includes the new Hotronix Tag Along Platen and the new Hotronix 360 IQ Hat Heat Press. The Tag Along Platen enables users to apply a full front print and a branded neck label at the same time, while the IQ Hat Heat Press enables users to print the front, back and sides of caps without removing it from the press.
Embroidery…
Nearly a fifth of all stands at P&P LIVE! will have some form of embroidery equipment and supplies on display. It really is surprising how technology advances year-on-year in this field.
