INDUSTRY EVENT www.images-magazine.com 30 images DECEMBER 2018 KB US brand Next Level Apparel [1] will be launching in the UK with its distribution partner PenCarrie. “Our tees feature innovative fabrics, exceptional fit and drape and colours and sizes that give you the freedom to choose your favourite tee that is made to inspire you,“ the brand explains. This year AJS is focusing on attachments, including a laser from Seit, a new bead device and multi-cording device from Tajima, and the first UK showing of the Coloreel instant thread colouring system [2]. Also on show will be the new Pulse DG16 Software and Tajima single and multi-head machines. Amaya Sales UK offers visitors a choice of fully industrial DTG printers from Kornit [3] and the more entry level DTG printer from Texjet. Also on display will be the Melco EMT16 Plus with its modular advantages, as well as Forever Transfer paper, Oki white toner printers, the Stahls‘ Fusion heat press and Graphtec cutting machines. AS Colour [4], which launched in the UK earlier this year, is making its P&P debut in January. “AS Colour‘s designs are guided by three key principles: quality is key, respect the detail and keep it simple,“ explains the brand. “Quality combed fabrics mean that many DTG printers recommend it as their preferred brand to work with.“ On the Dae Ha UK [5] stand will be the Dae Ha range of films, including its five new garment films, along with Italian heat press manufacturer Lotus, who will be demonstrating one of its XXL heat presses for full garment and sublimation textile printing, coupled with one of its most popular presses as well.

Also on show will be new Authentic and Sweat styles. Launching at P&P Live! is the Iconic range from Fruit of the Loom [9], which includes lightweight, ringspun T-shirts Polo.
