Peter Wright, director at Amaya Sales UK, said: “The Roland SG range of print-and- cut equipment fits perfectly with our garment decoration products and will allow us to provide our customers with the exact fit for their needs. “All of the equipment we sell is very hands-on and gives the users options to customise workflows, whether they need a higher quality output or more throughput. The Roland SG range does exactly the same in giving flexibility to our customers’ businesses, enabling them to fulfil their customers’ needs quickly, effortlessly and on time, every time, without fail.” Customers can see the TrueVis SG-300 in action at Amaya’s showrooms in Nottinghamshire and Hampshire. www.amayauk.com Amaya will demonstrate the TrueVis SG-300 at its showrooms in Nottingham and Hampshire Colormaker Industries converts to 100% renewable electricity Colormaker Industries, manufacturer of Permaset inks, has recently converted to 100% renewable electricity. David Stuart, owner and managing director of the Australian company, commented: “We believe that this is something that our customers care deeply about and this initiative will help them to reduce their environmental footprint.” He added: “We see this initiative dovetailing well with our Soil Association (GOTS) approved range of Permatone Inks for printers genuinely concerned about the environment and seeking greater integrity from their entire supply chain.” Colormaker is also investing in the installation of solar panels, and expects to be largely self-sufficient for its electricity needs by the end of 2019. www.colormaker.com.au A modern piece of workwear Ever wondered which garments and accessories industry professionals prefer? Each issue, one reader tells us why they rate a particular style This month, Jordan Crumpton, director of The Uniform Room in Dudley, picks out the Premier Coolchecker Plus Piqué Polo - Coolplus (PR630) as his favourite item to decorate. Jordan is impressed with the garment’s versatility and says that it appeals to a wide range of clients. “This polo shirt is suitable for a number of different industries, from the catering and hospitality industry to more office-based environments,” he explains. “It’s a modern piece of workwear which acts as a smart alternative to a shirt.” He also likes the fact that there’s a wide range of colour and sizing options. “It now comes in 16 different colours and has a sizing range from small to 6XL. It comes in both a male and female fit and boasts wicking features that help draw moisture away from the body in hot conditions.” Jordan admits that 100% polyester garments can sometimes be more challenging (“a nightmare”) to embroider, so he has the following tip for decorators: “If you’re using a dense design, use a cutaway stabiliser, so that the stabiliser stays with the design for the life of the item.” www.theuniformroom.co.uk Jordan Crumpton rates the Premier Coolchecker Plus Piqué Polo - Coolplus READERS’ CHOICE Colormaker Industries has chosen “greener” energy
