SPGPrints Demonstrates Inkjet Innovations for Wallcovers at IGI Technical Conference

SPGPrints recently hosted the IGI Technical Conference for the wallcover industry at its global headquarters in Boxmeer, the Netherlands.
 
The IGI Technical Conference is an annual two-day event that brings together senior managers from the wallcover manufacturing companies around the world, to learn about trends and technologies affecting the industry and to exchange ideas. It is organized by IGI, the Global Wallcoverings Association. This year, SPGPrints welcomed more than 120 delegates.
  
“Digital printing technology has proven to be a game-changer, opening up opportunities for short runs, greater design flexibility, fast turnarounds, simplified supply chains and cost reductions,” Bas Hoijtink, commercial manager industrial applications at SPGPrints, said.
 
SPGPrints’ new inkjet technology has proven performance in the textile industry, following a series of successful machine and ink launches in the last 12 months. These include the single-pass PIKE printer with production capacity of 13 million meters per year, the JAVELIN printer, with an annual capacity of two million meters, and a range of inks, all manufactured in-house. SPGPrints is preparing to make this technology accessible to the wallcover industry also.
 
SPGPrints’ range of NEBULA inkjet inks for textile applications offers a broad color gamut, optimized drying and excellent runnability, with all digital printers using Kyocera printheads.
