Industry experts spoke about innovations in digital textile printing

The 23rd International Exhibition for Equipment for the Textile and Garment Industry – Inlegmash 2024 includes a series of events dedicated to digital textile printing. They were organised by EXPOCENTRE AO and LegPromMedia OOO.

The events are moderated by Mikhail Shpilkin, co-founder of the Digital Textile and Legprom Review magazines. Today’s speakers, he noted, opening the first event of the conference programme – the panel on Digital Printing and Textile Decoration: Practical Experience – will represent various manufacturers who will talk about their capabilities in the production of digitally printed fabrics and share their experience.

Elena Soldatova, Head of Design Development at Solstudio Textile Design, pointed out the advantages of digital printing and explained how the company’s Print-a-porter project, designed to make fabric printing much easier, functions, as well as what innovations are planned in this area.

Igor Neiman, Director General at D-TEX, in his turn, told about a more effective method of fabric dyeing, when the ink penetrates into the thread itself and is fixed there, thanks to which the colour and quality of the item are preserved for a longer period of time.

Polina Zakharova, Director of the Textile division at Cherry Pie group, spoke about the successful results of testing the laser for cutting not only synthetic but also natural fabrics, which allowed the company to optimise the work of the cutter.

The event also covered issues related to marketplaces for textile and apparel designers, sourcing designs for product manufacturing, personalisation of manufactured products and much more.

The panel will be followed by other events dedicated to digital printing. Among them is the conference on Digital Printing as the Most Optimal Way to Manufacture Textile Products where experts will give an overview of global trends in the textile and garment industry, define the prospects for the Russian textile equipment market in 2024 and give a detailed analysis of the experience of implementing new technologies at domestic enterprises.

The workshop on Digital Cutting Solutions for Textiles and Nonwovens will round off the series of events. Here the experts will review the latest tools and techniques for cutting textile materials.
