FESPA 2019 to focus on printed fashion textiles

The Print Make Wear fast fashion factory feature at FESPA Global Expo 2019 in Munich, which is scheduled to organise from 14-17 May 2019, will double in size compared with its launch in 2018. HP, Mimaki and EFI are among those who will be demonstrating their latest technologies. Taking the form of a live production environment, Print Make Wear addresses every step in the garment production process, from planning, design and prepress, to printing, drying, cutting, sewing, welding and embellishment, to packing and retail display.

At FESPA Global Print Expo 2019, the expanded feature will allow more space to showcase a comprehensive range of garment printing technology solutions and consumables, as well as incorporating a staged area for presentations and debates and a catwalk for fashion shows. There will be two separate guided tours, one with a focus on direct-to-garment production and the other tailored to visitors interested in roll-to-roll production. Technologies showcased within Print Make Wear 2019 will include direct-to garment digital and screen printing presses with both automatic and manual presses printing on water-based inks, while the roll-to-roll digital technologies will include dye-sublimation as well as other textile print technologies, with the support of brands including Adobe, Adelco, EFI, HP, Mimaki, Vastex MagnaColours, Easiway and Premier Textiles.
