Focus on Digital Printing ADELCO
One of the first to demo new Kornit HD technology A
delco is one of the first Kornit partners worldwide, and the only one UK-based, to have ordered a new Kornit HD system to undertake trials and demonstrations in its Hampshire showroom.
The new Kornit HD systems provide unique technology using a new Kornit Rapid Ink Set to achieve a flatter white layer and more vibrant colours while using significantly less ink. Mark Smith, managing director of Adelco, said: “Kornit introduced recirculating ink technology to reduce waste and therefore print costs almost two years ago with the R-Series printers. The new HD system takes these savings a step further and customers are confirming additional print cost savings of 30% to 40% while improving brightness, print quality and hand feel. These lower print costs expand digital garment printing into markets usually only justifiable using traditional screen print.”
Kornit launched the HD technology with the new Avalanche HD6 machine in February. Towards the end of 2018, Kornit will introduce HD technology on its Storm machine platform. Adelco installed such a system in its UK showroom last month. This will enable UK printers to test and trial HD printing using their own print files on their own garments and see the exact print cost of each item.
Adelco also introduced its new Procure dryer at FESPA in May which provides unprecedented curing ability and unique features that have resulted in a record dryer order book for Adelco with over 50 dryers currently on order. And finally, Adelco has also introduced the new Adelco AD Hybrid digital printer. This is the perfect attachment to the Adelco Matrix Oval screen printing press.
HYBRID SERVICES Printers to suit every need H Mimaki Tx300P-1800 Direct to Textile Printer M&R Hybrid garment printing, where analogue and digital worlds collide H
ybrid textile printing is a recent development that utilises both screen, and digital inkjet technology
to print garments with bright colours, amazing detail, minimal pre-press, and very fast time to press. The first down colour, usually white, is screen printed in the traditional fashion usually using either water-based, or a high solids acrylic (HSA) ink. The colours are then deposited via digital inkjet.
The Digital Squeegee and Stryker combine

Conventional DTG systems print well on nearly any fabric, as long as itʼs cotton. This is largely a result of a lack of bleed resistance, elasticity, and poor adhesion to many synthetic substrates by the white ink layer. By utilising a screen printed white,
we can print hybrid embellishments on any material that can be screen printed. Some benefits of hybrid printing are:
● Great for medium to large print runs. ● Fast time to press. ● Unlimited image colours. ● Prints on virtually any screen printable garment.
● Eliminates need for pre-treatment. ● Much lower per-unit consumable cost than DTG.
● Minimal art / pre-press preparation ● Ability to add specialty inks, and colours to digital prints.
Combining screen printing and DTG printing truly is, the best of both worlds.

ybrid Services has a range of printers to suit any and every individual need. Some of the printers in the range include the Mimaki TS30-1300 entry- level dye sublimation printer, the Mimaki CJV150 dye sublimation printer/cutters, the Mimaki JV150/JV300 dye sublimation printers and the Mimaki TS300P-1800 dye sublimation printer and the Mimaki Tx300P-1800 direct to textile printer.
Here we take a closer look at the Mimaki Tx300P. This printer features multiple ink types that enable printing onto natural fabrics such as cotton and silk as well as polyester. Specifically designed for direct-to-fabric printing, its material feed and take-up is capable of handling textiles with stretch as well as highly porous fabrics thanks to a trough that catches surplus ink and removes the possibility of mark off on the rear of the print.
