Printable substrate manufacturer and distributor Soyang Europe has significantly increased its sample production and testing service after installing an MTEX Blue dye sublimation printer.
“Soyang Europe has long been associated with textile substrates and with more companies looking to add the capability to their print portfolios, we saw the need to assist them as best we could,” said managing director Mark Mashiter. “The MTEX Blue has allowed our sales team to demonstrate to customers what a printed fabric looks and feels like, rather than simply supplying an unprinted swatch - much to our and their benefit.”
The new printer - an ‘all in one’ direct to polyester machine with in-line fixation - joins Soyang’s R&D fleet of solvent and latex printers.
“Having in-house print capabilities also gives us the means to test new products before bringing them to market,” added Mashiter. “Equally, we’re able to assist customers in the field with any technical enquiries - having ‘industry standard’ printers and inks means it’s possible for us to offer an extra layer of support for companies by using similar machines to theirs.”
Soyang Europe offers a range of dye-sublimation printable textiles, including its own Far Eastern manufactured range of backlit, flag, mesh and display materials, as well as European manufactured fabrics from Endutex and Aurich Textilien.
