Mimaki textile printer

Mimaki Engineering Co.,Ltd., a leading manufacturer of wide format inkjet printers is exhibiting at SGI Dubai, the Middle East's largest and longest running event for the signage, graphic imaging, POP/Retail, screen and digital printing industries.

Why is digital textile printing such a big deal? First of all, there is a big practical aspect to it. Regular fabric patterns are created through rotary or flatbed screen printing that require individual screens for every color used and large yardage. Simply put, you need to print a lot of fabric and waste a lot of time and you would still be restricted in your choices. With fashion changing on the fly and consumers vying for more exclusivity and customization the scope of digital printing is on the rise.
