HP
Reshaping the printwear market Digital printing technology continues to reshape the printwear and promotion market, enabling faster turnaround times, greater fl exibility, and more sustainable production methods. As brands demand shorter runs and higher levels of customisation, print providers are increasingly turning to advanced technologies to stay competitive.
HP is focused on responding to evolving market requirements, developing solutions that enable customers to deliver high-quality work effi ciently. This includes improving workfl ow productivity and reducing operational complexity across production environments.
HP Stitch S1000
An excellent example of this is the HP Stitch S1000, a high-volume, industrial dye-sublimation printer designed for textile production – ideal for use in key areas such as soft signage, sportswear, fashion, and interior décor. Standout features of the machine include a maximum production speed of up to 220m sq/hr in two-pass mode and the ability to print on a range of materials up to 3.2m wide. Offering native 1200dpi resolution, this allows users to produce prints with sharper detail, while accuracy is boosted further with a built-in spectrophotometer for consistent colour.
Together, these capabilities position the HP Stitch S1000 as a powerful solution for print providers seeking to scale textile production, maintain consistent quality, and respond quickly to evolving customer and market demands in the ever-changing printwear and promotion sector.

Mimaki TS330-1600
High production dye sublimation Mimaki’s TS330 Series brings a genuinely production-focused option to the dye sublimation market, with both the 1.6m TS330-1600 and recently introduced 1.8m TS330-1800 designed to balance outright speed with the colour fi delity expected across high-value textile and rigid applications. Built for volume environments, the TS330 range delivers consistent, high throughput without compromising on detail or vibrancy. Mimaki’s inbuilt Core Technologies, including advanced print head control and precise media handling ensure stable performance across long runs, whether producing sportswear or fashion textiles. Crucially, that same consistency translates effectively into sublimation transfer workfl ows for rigid products, supporting applications such as promotional items, mugs and interior décor panels. Colour performance remains a key strength; Mimaki’s expertise in ink formulation and image processing enables smooth gradation, strong density and accurate reproduction, even at higher speeds required in a volume production environment. This is particularly important for brands and decorators working to tight colour standards across multiple substrates. With both 1.6m and 1.8m options available (as well as a grand-format 3.2m wide model), Mimaki’s TS330 Series offers fl exibility to suit different production setups while maintaining a clear focus on reliability and output quality. For businesses looking to scale dye sublimation across both textile and rigid applications, it presents a robust, high-performance solution, available now through Hybrid’s reseller network.
