Electronics For Imaging, Inc. will showcase its EFI Textile Eco-System for the fashion industry at the Sourcing at MAGIC tradeshow, which runs Aug. 12-15.
EFI’s exhibit will also include new and updated products from EFI’s textile technology portfolio, including:
During the show, partner exhibitors Klieverik, Zünd, and Brigade Manufacturing will provide heat press/fixation, cutting, and sewing, respectively, for designs EFI is printing on site. This complete, multi-vendor “mini-factory” with EFI and partner exhibitors shows the broader range of possibilities from a real-world, highly efficient and fully functional integrated system featuring new technologies that put customers on the forefront of lean, efficient and automated apparel manufacturing.
“We have developed a totally new and highly innovative generation of digital printers, based on four new Reggiani models launched progressively since 2017, plus our groundbreaking new pigment ink,” EFI Reggiani VP and GM Adele Genoni said. “In addition, we have paired those innovations with cutting-edge Optitex and Fiery design and production tools, making EFI’s Textile Eco-System the only offering from a single supplier capable of delivering this level of fast time-to-market, high-customization manufacturing. Our customers can create new opportunities and establish profitable apparel lines produced closer to the point of need using the new offerings on display at MAGIC.”
Attendees can also see direct-to-fabric cotton samples featuring the newly available, high-performance EFI Reggiani Terra pigment inks during Sourcing at MAGIC. Available in six colors (CMYK, blue and red) the ink uses an innovative binder technology for fast, sustainable, and cost-competitive industrial textile production with no washing or steaming needed. Designed to leverage EFI Reggiani digital printers’ industrial performance capabilities, these eco-friendly, water-based inks provide extraordinary print durability and yield longer printhead life with reduced maintenance costs. The inks also deliver excellent light fastness and high sharpness on nearly any type of fabric, including cotton, polyester, cotton-poly blends and more.
