This makes it perfect for entry-level users and experienced garment decorators alike.“ The company says it has also advanced its existing machines with the introduction of M-Series iOS. “This new software, compatible with the new DTG M2 printers, will dramatically lower the cost per print by up to 30%,“ says YES. “This will allow users to boost their current profit margins. Finally, with a maximum print width of 1,900mm, the DTG QM8 is said by YES to be “the new contender in large textile printing“. The QM8 promises a vibrant print quality paired with high-speed industrial printing, making it a great choice for cut-piece fashion printing, large textile printing and more. www.yesltd.co.uk The new DTG Digital G4 from YES Sabur Digital: DGI Textile Printers Sabur has been specialising in sublimation printing for more than 20 years, the company reports, with staff that have a combined textile printing knowledge of more than a century. “Sabur is proud to boast a portfolio of equipment from world class, leading manufacturers including DGI, Mimaki, Roland, Klieverik and Sefa,“ says the company. For 2019, two new DGI digital sublimation printers, which are manufactured in South Korea, are making their first European appearance at Sabur’s 2,500 sq ft show suite. The DGI HSFT 111 is a 1.9m high speed sublimation transfer printer that with its Kyocera print heads and lightweight sublimation paper is said to be capable of reaching speeds in excess of 250m2/hr. The DGI FH-3204 is a super wide format 3.2m hybrid sublimation printer that has the facility to print both direct-to-textile and via transfer (paper) using its four Kyocera print heads. The FH-3204 can run up to six colours, including fluorescents. Both of these DGI printers run alongside the DGI FT range of sublimation printers, including the FT1604, a four-head modular printer that can be upgraded to an eight-head printer, doubling the production speed. This, says Sabur, makes the FT-1604 an ideal print solution to a business that has a growth forecast. The DGI range of textile printers are backed up with a “comprehensive three-year warranty“, Sabur adds. www.sublimationinks.com The DGI HSFT 111 from Sabur is a 1.9m high speed sublimation transfer printer
