Brett Newman, chief operations manager at Hybrid, comments: “The ability to fulfil multiple needs from fashion textiles to display fabrics and sportswear within one system makes the printer an ideal entry to mid-level solution. “We’re enabling smaller print companies and larger set-ups to benefit from digital print technology including more cost-effective short runs and faster turnarounds. “In the current climate, the need for garment decorators to respond rapidly to changing customer requirements comes into ever sharper focus and the ability to switch production from one fabric to another, output any run length and select from a range of inks, empowers businesses to deliver the goods when they’re needed the most.” Sabur Digital: DGI Hercules Sabur Digital has announced the launch of the DGI Hercules digital printer.
