Flashy Fabrics

Digital printing, whether it is for décor, apparel, or signage, is an attractive solution for textiles. Dye-sublimation (dye-sub), digital dye-sub, transfer dye-sub, and direct digital printing are all methods for printing to fabrics.

Custom Built

Manufacturing equipment is rarely turnkey. From concept through production and decoration, items require unique steps to compose a final product. Therefore, when it comes to printing, bespoke solutions are often commissioned to ensure production success. UV LED curing systems are frequently customized to support specific manufacturing goals.

Create, Reduce, and Control

The Kawasaki Motor Corp.’s Lincoln, NE facility is the central production plant for the U.S. Out of the 2.1 million square foot space, over 2,400 plant workers—including 75 engineers—are involved in projects ranging from Kawasaki recreational vehicles and other transportation solutions to cargo doors for Boeing 777X aircrafts.

A New Vision for Vision

As three-dimensional (3D) printing advances, it is adopted for manufacturing products and parts. The use cases for this technology are endless, and creative brands utilize it to reinvent industries and get an edge over competition.

Stretching Ink to the Max

Thermoforming is a process used by manufacturers to create anything from signage to automotive parts. Traditionally, a piece that involved a decorative graphic or color was either hand painted or screenprinted. However, there are digital ink sets optimized for printing to materials that will eventually undergo the thermoforming process.

3D Printed Wedding Rings

Three-dimensional (3D) printing is fairly common in the jewelry industry, with the ability to create unique pieces in a variety of materials. However, in this market 3D printing is most often used for customized one-offs or prototyping master models that are later mass produced by traditional techniques.
