Global printing market is mainly divided into a few areas such as North America, Europe, Latin America and the asia-pacific region. In recent years, North American and European printing industry affected and restricted by many factors like economic and ecological environment, gradually shifted to Asia and the Middle East countries. Due to atrophy of the textile industry in North America, printing industry in Latin America showed a gradual upward trend. At present, textile printing in asia-pacific region accounts for more than half of total global printing, among them China and India are in the forefront of production.
Digital inkjet textile printing technology is a product of modern science and technology applications which sets computer data processing, precision machinery, photoelectric information technology as a whole and gradually formed with the continuous development of computer technology. Digital inkjet printing of textiles began in the 1970 s, completed the transition from Technical model to production application in the 90 s, and got rapid development after 2000 years, experienced a transformation process from the proofing that mainly used in early stage of the textile printing and dyeing to small lot production then to scale production.
The amount of the global textile digital inkjet printing almost doubled every two years since 2001 and presented a accelerated development trend. European digital inkjet printing always walks in the forefront of the global digital inkjet printing industry, and it is the biggest demand and place of production for Digital inkjet printing products, Digital inkjet printing has infiltrated into various areas of textiles like design, clothing, home textile, car decoration, advertising, personalization Customization, etc. Especially in recent years, it has already turned to small lot production pattern from Proofing design pattern in the past, and gradually to quantity production development. Currently, there are more than 90% of the enterprises in European printing industry has adopted digital inkjet printing proofing, the production volume for digital inkjet printing products has accounted for about 30% of the whole printing products production volume. Many traditional Japanese printing plants adopt a production mode that flat screen printing, rotary screen printing and digital inkjet printing coexist, in order to use their own advantages, supplement disadvantages and expand the scope of the product. I think it’s going to be a normalcy for textile printing industry in next few years.
In China, as the traditional printing is facing more and more severe competition and environmental pressure, more and more enterprises invest in digital textile printing, from the developing trend of recent years, digital textile printing will become a very important profit growth point in the textile industry in next few years by virtue of the advantages of flexible material, rich colors, can achieve high-end printing effect, Multi-species, small quantities, etc.
As digital textile printing restricted by its speed a few years ago, so it has been used only for proofing production and likely not scale. Recent years, digital textile printing technology increasingly mature, and digital textile printing production volume also substantial increase, the application of digital textile printing technology even turned to a trend of thousands of miles a day, speed is no longer the bottleneck of digital textile printing. Three or four years ago, one hour print speed of 5-10 m has been considered as a high speed, but now it has achieved the print speed of more than 100 square meter per hour. With the production volume improving, and these years the digital textile printing costs also dropped, only the cost of ink has dropped from the original 100 yuan per square meter to 10 yuan per square meter now. With cost reduction and product personalized needs, recent 3 years, more and more companies invested in digital textile printing, digital textile printing is becoming a hot spot for traditional printing and dyeing enterprises.
Shanghai Meitu Digital&Technology Co., Ltd is just in this big background, and independently researched and development the RT industrial-grade high-speed chemical fiber injection machine (take thermal transfer paper printing function into account). Shanghai Meitu Digital&Technology Co., Ltd was founded in 2005, at present, the company headquarters is located in No.188 Xinjun Ring Rd, Shanghai, mainly engaged in the development, manufacturing, sales and service of advertising equipment and digital inkjet equipment. Since 2005, we have introduced solvent printer, ECO solvent indoor printer, UV flatbed printer and chemical fiber injection machine successively in China that researched and development by ourselves, after that we introduced Servo cutting plotter, Engraving machine and Laser engraving machine.
Although we have a solid foundation for digital inkjet technology, but digital textile printing is a huge market, there are too much material and market segmentation, and the machine we introduced at present mainly focus on the markets such as Chemical fiber flag, Curtain, Seat cushion, Tablecloths, Culture advertising shirts, etc. The width of our RT industrial-grade chemical fiber injection machine is 3.2 m, on the premise of guarantee the quality of printing, it can provide customers with the highest yields with print efficiency up to 50 square meters/hour, and meet different personalized high production and efficiency printing requirements. We are focusing on this market in the field of digital textile printing now, because we understand that only professional can we have a chance, and only focus can we win the customer trust.
Refer one of the old saying that our agents and customers used most widely: Meitu, 10 years old brand, trustworthy.
