Mimaki will use promotional products trade show PSI in Dusseldorf and the Digital Textile Conference held in conjunction with Heimtextil in Frankfurt to show off inkjet applications in January.
“Attendees at PSI will have the opportunity to see how their businesses can be augmented by on-demand printing of promotional products,” said Mike Horsten, general manager marketing EMEA, Mimaki Europe. “We invite them to bring their own images for production on the trade show floor. We will also be conducting live demos showing how to print on canvas. We believe we are on the start of an analogue-to-digital transformation of the promotional products industry, and attendees at the show will be able to experience this first-hand.”
Mimaki will demonstrate its JV33 Series printers and feature its UJF-3042 and UJF-6042 flatbed printers – the UJF-3042 desktop flatbed printer has a print area of 300x420mm, while the larger UFJ-6042 handles sizes up to A2. Both offer LED curing, six-colour process colour, multiple ink options, and the ability to print on substrates up to 150mm thick.
“The promotional products business is an exciting place to be as companies take advantage of new technologies to be even more creative with their offerings,” Horsten added. “We expect to wow attendees with our on-demand capabilities and have a great deal of fun at the same time.”
At the Digital Textile Conference, Mimaki will present a session entitled ‘How to Make Money by Digitally Producing Textiles’ on 9 January.
Horsten said: “We are extremely pleased to be given a speaking opportunity at this prestigious event. It reflects the credibility Mimaki has in the textile industry. With all of the recent advances in digital textile printing, we look forward to educating the audience about the new opportunities these technologies offer for streamlining various stages of the textile manufacturing process and for introducing new, innovative products into the market.”
