Shima Seiki with its European subsidiary Shima Seiki Europe and sales distributor Fenix Digital Group will display its latest offering in digital textile printing at FESPA 2015 at exhibition in Hall 8 booth no. E-38.
It will display the SIP-160F3 which Shima Seiki says is its latest flatbed inkjet printing machine that is capable of providing beautiful full colour printing on a variety of fabrics.
“Reactive dyes, acid dyes and pigment inks can be used to support different types of print applications,” Shima Seiki informs in a press release.
The printing head can be raised or lowered according to substrate thickness, allowing printing on fabrics with 3-dimensional textures, or even directly on finished products.
This also includes Wholegarment knitwear which is produced in its entirety without any seams using Shima Seiki’s own Wholegarment knitting machine technology.
“Multidrop inkjet technology, ink circulation and degassing system, and ink thermoregulation provide efficient and stable printing,” it adds.
Also on display is the latest version of the SDS-ONE APEX3 3D design system, which offers accurate simulations of the printed piece for checking before printing on SIP-160F3.
According to the Japanese company, APEX3 integrates production into an efficient workflow from yarn development, product planning and design to production and even sales promotion.
Especially effective is APEX3’s capability to improve on the planning process with Virtual Sampling.
“Photo-realistic simulation capability allows Virtual Sampling to minimise the costly time and resource consuming sample-making process while enhancing presentation quality,” it explains.
