ESMA, a leading non-profit association in Europe for specialist printing manufacturers of screen, digital and flexo technology, recently met with JHF, a global manufacturer of advanced industrial inkjet printing equipment, to discuss recent advancements in the textile printing industry. Members of ESMA’s Textile Division, comprised of manufacturers of machinery, equipment, software and consumables, were excited to learn about JHF’s latest innovations in digital printing technology.
The meeting took place at JHF’s headquarters in Beijing, China, where ESMA representatives toured the facility and gained valuable insights into the company’s research and development, manufacturing processes, sales and services. JHF, which has been in business for over 20 years, specializes in industrial printing technology and has recently made significant advancements in digital textile printing that has piqued the interest of ESMA’s Textile Division.
Digital textile printing has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its versatility, efficiency, and sustainability. Unlike traditional textile printing methods that rely on screen and pad printing, digital textile printing allows for high-quality, direct-to-fabric printing with fewer steps, less waste, and faster production times. Digital printing technology also enables greater customization and design flexibility, making it easier for manufacturers to meet the demands of today’s consumers who seek unique and personalized products.
JHF’s latest advancements in digital textile printing have been well-received by ESMA’s Textile Division, as the company has developed new printing systems that offer higher speeds, greater resolution, and improved color gamut. One of JHF’s most recent innovations is the use of UV-curable inks in their digital textile printing systems, which provide greater adhesion, durability, and resistance to fading, while reducing ink consumption.
The use of UV-curable inks, combined with JHF’s proprietary software and hardware, has enabled the company to produce stunning digital textile prints on a variety of fabrics, including cotton, silk, polyester, and more. JHF’s printers are also capable of handling various sizes and weights of fabric, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, from fashion and apparel to home decor and industrial textiles.
ESMA’s Textile Division is excited to explore the possibilities of JHF’s digital printing technology and looks forward to collaborating with the company on future projects. The division’s members are also committed to promoting sustainable and eco-friendly printing practices, and JHF’s UV-curable inks and digital printing systems offer a more environmentally friendly solution compared to traditional textile printing methods.
Overall, ESMA’s partnership with JHF represents an exciting new chapter in the future of textile printing technology. The two companies share a commitment to innovation, quality, and sustainability, and their collaboration is sure to lead to exciting new developments in the industry. As digital textile printing continues to evolve, manufacturers like JHF and ESMA’s Textile Division will be at the forefront of this exciting new era in printing technology.
