Digital Textile Printing

DuPont Reaches Significant Milestones In Digital Color Technology ...

Efficiency Starts with I.D.

There are many ways to reduce material handling costs when moving rolls, sheeted board and pallet loads between plants, sheetfed presses, pallet storage racks, diecutters, and folder-gluers. All of these cost reduction opportunities depend on a common capability: the means to identify pallet loads after each operation. For most converters, that means pallet load tickets.

What You Need to Know— A load ticket should be affixed to each pallet of product as it exits sheeting, printing, diecutting, and folding-gluing. And, for each operation a new load ticket could (or maybe "should") be affixed. The following is minimum information that should be included on each load ticket:
• Job number
• Job name/customer
• Date
• Machine name and number (Press #3)
• Operator
• Quantity
• Pallet X of N (pallet 3 of 6)
This information is usually produced manually in smaller box plants, however putting a small digital printer at each machine is no longer a large investment.

DuPont Reaches Milestones in Digital Color Technology

DuPont has reached significant milestones with the sale of the company's 500th Cyrel(R) FAST system and launches of the Cromaprint(TM) wide format digital printing system and DuPont(TM) Artistri(TM) 3320 grand format textile printing system.

Cyrel(R) FAST is one of the fastest growing technologies for advanced packaging graphics, with installations in 40 countries on six continents. DuPont's printing system businesses are growing at double-digit rates annually, targeting multi-billion-dollar industries that include textiles, graphic arts, signage and consumer packaging.

Based on DuPont proprietary technology, DuPont can now deliver superior color digitally in a variety of formats and sizes. DuPont developed the Cyrel(R) FAST, Cromaprint(TM) and DuPont(TM) Artistri(TM) printing systems for customers who require faster, more reliable printing with consistent quality and superior color on a broad variety of substrates, from paper, film and vinyl to all types of fabrics.

Geoff Fisher visits a small Austrian company that is successfully ...

With its first major showing at last year's TIP exhibition in Brussels, a fledgling Austrian company is beginning to make its mark in the new and exciting world of digital printing. Link 7 Merchandising & Marketing also exhibited its unique look at January's Heimtextil show, using in-house design capabilities that complement the latest technology.

The business was founded in 1995 by Jürgen Schmid, managing director, and Roland Amann, creative director, originally developing print programmes on a commission basis for Fussenegger, a well-established Austrian textile manufacturer.

Link 7 then began working on an exclusive basis, principally for major US distributors and retailers, and counts Pier 1 Imports, Kravet, Duralee, Swavelle, Robert Allen and the Braemore division of P.

Digital vs. film: Are there any differences?

Mark Mohler has this terrible nightmare in which years from now a generation of children attack their parents for having no pictures from their childhood.

Mohler, who is vice president of Click Camera, which has a store at the Upper Valley Mall, has seen digital cameras all but take over the industry. Film cameras may soon be to photography what rotary dial phones are to telecommunications.

Mohler welcomes the change. "We needed some excitement in our industry. You had film cameras and that’s the way it was so we needed some kind of kick. Digital is certainly that kick," he said.

While it’s been good for the camera sales business, he’s concerned the process of being able to see photos immediately, storing them on a memory card or on one’s computer offers a sense of finality.
