PF DIGITAL PRINTING www.images-magazine.com 56 images APRIL 2021 Amaya Sales UK: Texart XT 640S and TexJet Echo2 Amaya Sales UK says it now offers the largest selection of direct- to-garment (DTG) printers in the UK, giving decorators the perfect opportunity to find the best fit for their business. This includes the new Roland Texart XT 640S DTG printer together with the Polyprint TexJet Echo2 DTG printer and Kornit Digital’s range of DTG printers. “The amount you want to print now and in the near future will determine the most appropriate printer,” says the supplier. “An advantage of working with Amaya is that when you outgrow the one you have decided on, then we will give the best possible part- exchange price to upgrade.” Amaya also stocks a range of Roland DG’s print-and-cut machines, as well as Roland UV printers, and the Oki white toner printer range – an ideal entry-level option for full-colour printing onto light and dark textiles, and hard substrates. The TexJet Echo2 DTG printer from Amaya Aeoon Technologies: Aeoon Innovation Centre Aeoon Technologies’ Innovation Centre opened in 2020 to “provide unparalleled service and support within the direct-to- garment (DTG) industry”. It is equipped like a textile print shop – visitors can experience operation of Aeoon’s Compact, Compact Micro, Kyo Hybrid and Kyo Link DTG machines, and it’s also possible to simulate the fully automated production process. “Whether photo-realistic or delicate filigree motifs, Aeoon DTG printers can reproduce them precisely and in a phenomenally fast time,” according to the company. “Aeoon DTG printers also make it easier than ever to connect to popular ecommerce providers, such as Shopify and Shopware, as well as social media marketplaces, including Instagram and Facebook.” Aeoon says it also takes its responsibility to the environment very seriously, and for this reason, it works as closely as possible with local suppliers. “All our printers run with water-based inks, which are both Gots and Oeko-Tex-certified, and we also continuously minimise the energy consumption of the machines.” Contact Aeoon to book a visit to the Innovation Centre – either in person or via a livestream.
