MySize unveils new measurement technology

My Size, Inc. has developed a unique measurement technology based on sophisticated algorithms and cutting edge technology with broad applications including the apparel, e-commerce, DIY, shipping and parcel delivery industries. This proprietary, patented technology is driven by several algorithms which are able to calculate and record measurements in a variety of novel ways.

My Size, Inc. MYSZ, a developer of proprietary, smartphone measurement applications, intends to release a new measurement solution technology that will revolutionise the way consumers shop for clothing online. The new technology is currently in the testing phase at several Israel-based academic institutions, and to date, has shown promising results under lab conditions.

Its innovative technology has been designed to allow consumers to measure themselves using their smartphone and then be matched with an online apparel item in their size. It believes that this technology has the potential to significantly reduce the margin of error for customers purchasing the wrong size apparel online.

Its R&D Engineers have developed a system that pulls data from anthropometric databases, which is then combined with studies on body measurements of diverse populations groups. MySize’s proprietary methodology combines this data with the measurements obtained from an individual via the smartphone app to estimate the circumference of different body parts that determine the size of garments.

In order to help consumers determine the key body measurements needed for fitting apparel purchased online, MySize invented a simpler and more accessible three step process: Perform convenient body measurements using a smartphone. Predict the body circumferences required by the retailer size-chart using the MySize’s new proprietary algorithms.

Recommend to the user their appropriate garment size according to the retailer’s size chart. Recording accurate and detailed body measurements via traditional methods is generally difficult. The main traditional methods involve advanced 3D scanners, or manually using multiple tape measures and callipers. In both cases, they can be expensive, require expertise to operate, and are not available to consumers. My Size is the only company that is able to do that based on recently awarded patented technology that uses actual body measurement. My Size’s patent has been approved in several countries, including the US.

“My Size has developed an innovative solution that will enable consumers to shop for better-fitting apparel online, across multiple vendors, and get their correct size, based on their individual smartphone-based body measurements. This level of accuracy and convenience is not offered by any of our competitors,” said My Size CEO, Ronen Luzon. “The US e-commerce apparel market alone is over $72 bn of the total e-commerce market of $394 bn, and we believe that the My Size solution will help reduce returns to retailers due to sizing issues, thereby benefitting consumers by assisting them to purchase apparel that fits their specific size.”

Advance network and High-speed sewing systems by Juki

Juki Corporation, the global leader in industrial sewing machines, with the commitment to “seam quality” is poised to enter a new era with Juki’s nextgeneration sewing system. The company recently launched its DDL-9000C-SMS (Digital Type) direct drive, high-speed, sewing system with automatic thread trimmer. Given are some of its highlights:

Computer-controlled vertically and horizontallydriven feed mechanism

The world’s first feed mechanism which is driven both vertically and horizontally has been computerised. The feed mechanism changes its feed locus in accordance with the material. As a result, the optimum adjustments can be achieved only by setting data on the operation panel. Furthermore, the vertically-driven feed mechanism helps keep the length of the thread remaining on the material after thread trimming constant.

Remaining thread at the end of sewing reduced to 3mm

A both-blade driven rotary knife system is adopted. The knife intersects with the thread to trim it just beneath the needle entry point. Since the knife ensures constant length of needle thread, the length of thread remaining on the material after thread trimming is, unlike thread trimming with the thread tensed, also constant. The Juki DDL-9000CSMS inherits JUKI’s thread trimming technology to allow the thread trimmer to start up as soon as the pedal is depressed.

Sewing Machine management utilising “IoT” (Internet of Things

Data adjusted in a sample-making workshop etc. can be transferred without contact to the sewing machines in your factory using your tablet. (USB port is provided as standard)

LK – 1903BNB Button sewing machine with the bird’s nest preventing / shorter thread remaining functions which eliminates thread nipping work

Users who are conscious about the finished quality of products manually nip, with scissors, the thread remaining on the material after thread trimming at the end of sewing, Now, the button sewing machine with the bird’s nest preventing/shorter thread remaining functions saves such users the trouble of nipping the thread, thereby preventing the sewing product from being damaged by manual threadnipping with scissors.

The sewing machine eliminates so-called ‘’bird’s nests’’ (thread tangling in on the wrong side of the material at the beginning of sewing). The thread is retained at the beginning of sewing and any excess thread is trimmed during sewing. As a result, the length of thread sewn in the seam is shortened, thereby achieving high-quality sewing performance while preventing thread from tangling in on the wrong side ‘’of the material.’’

Length of thread remaining on the material at the end of sewing has been reduced to 2 mm or less*. The newly-developed shorter-thread remaining mechanism trims the thread shorter after the regular thread trimming operation. Additionally, thread waste produced by thread trimming is withdrawn by suction. Thanks to this mechanism, the trouble of manual thread nipping is avoided.

The machine achieves sewing speed of 2,700 sti/min The machine’s thread trimming etc. have been increased to significantly shorten total cycle time. The machine is provided as standard with 50 different sewing patterns at higher productivity. The LK-1903BN is a lockstitch button sewing machine which is not only applicable to many different sewing specifications but also able to carry out cycle sewing and produces high-quality seams.

Loiko Global presents Button Feeder attachment

As we all know that most of the time the garments packing get delay due to pending of Button Hole and Button Stitch operations. To finish these operations customer do overtime, for operate these machines we need skill operators. Just to deskill the Button stitch operation the company developed Button Feeder attachment (SAKHO MODEL ST-12 MADE IN KOREA). Normally Button Stitch operator can attach 600 to 700 Buttons per hour in shirt production, if customer installs its Button Feeder in the same Button stitch machine they can attach 1200 to 1400 Buttons per hour depend upon the Button stitch machine condition. It means almost double production, and not required any skill operator.

The beauty of Button Feeder (SAKHO MODEL ST-12) is we can install in any Electronic Button stitch machines without any alternations. The advantage of our Button feeder is reducing the manpower, reduce over time, increase the productivity, and reduce break down time. In my opinion in-future 70 to 80 per cent customers will order button machines with button feeders. The ROI of our button feeder will be around 12 months. It is very proud to say that last year we got 100 Button Feeders order from one customer in Bangalore, and also happy to say that most of the customers using our SAKHO Button Feeders because of the technology, user friendly, quality, performance and service support after sales.

Headbag Process reliability for up to 3,500 x 1,000 mm with PFAFF

The PFAFF brand stands for 150 years of industry experience and expertise. PFAFF has been a leading innovator in industrial sewing and welding solutions for decades. By innovations and the product development the customers trust in their products and service worldwide. Trust in a strong international partner as well and catch up on their variety of products and competences.

When manufacturing high-quality car seats (decorative stitching) and airbags (functional and safety-relevant seams), the manufacturers (car manufacturers and automotive suppliers) count on the performance, quality and process reliability of the KL 110 CNC-controlled sewing unit. The customer list of the machine reads like a “Who is Who” of the automotive industry featuring prestigious brands from all continents. Particularly, when it comes to manufacturing airbags, the industry has in recent years become very sensitive due to a scandal (deaths, exploding airbags, recalls) involving a well-known Japanese airbag-manufacturer. The manufacturers demand solutions with customized individual and process-reliably controlled applications that ensure maximum reproduction of their airbags. Certainly one reason why the KL 110 has become a true “market performer” is, because the manufacturers trust the technology and knowhow of KSL based in Lorsch/Germany. Over the past 2.5 years more than 100 systems were sold around the world. KSL documents and implements all individual customer requests/ applications during the project phase. Over 80 of these machines were assembled at the Pfaff Industrial-facility in Kaiserslautern. Here the space capacities for production and assembly are bigger.

The KL 110, a freely programmable CNC-sewing unit featuring a turning head, is offered either in a one- or two-needle version and generates up to 2,800 stitches per minute. Due to the tangential orientation of the sewing head into random sewing directions, complex seams may be produced in top quality as back stitch or chain stitch. At the Texprocess 2017 in Frankfurt, the machine was presented with a barcode-scanner system to record data in multiple applications and immediate analysis via the HMI-operator panel. The turning head-technology is also used for applications beyond airbags resp. car seats e. g. for sophisticated decorative stitching operations on a KL 311 (virtually identical in construction to the KL110) at a European manufacturer of luxury goods. Likewise, the door panels and seats of the new model of a British luxury car manufacturer are sewn using a KL 311 with turning head.

Pegasus releases “LaRgo,” the FS700P series

Pegasus Sewing Machine Mfg. Co., Ltd. has released “LaRgo,” the FS700P series equipped with a right and left independent differential feed adjustment mechanism, hereinafter called “LaRgo ”. The new product, LaRgo is most suitable for sewing functional fabrics, employed for sportswear and similar garments. The focus on sportswear with designs employing mesh fabrics with excellent breathability and stretchable fabrics with excellent stretch ability has increased markedly in recent years. However, these designs require highly skilled operators when sewing these fabrics with different features. In order to solve these problems, Pegasus has developed the LaRgo, equipped with the world’s first, right and left independent differential feed adjustment mechanism. Thanks to these excellent features, this flatseamer consistently produces beautifully finished products regardless of the skill of the operator.

No matter what the circumstances, no matter the operator. Needle and threads advance smoothly at the sewer’s own pace. Stitching is straight and beautiful without worry. This precise and soothing rhythm prevents right or left misalignment of the fabric. LaRgo, with needle and thread, seams smoothly, drawing on long cultivated technical skills and the daily genesis of imagination. Given are some of its highlights:

Easy to seam different fabric material: Effective to seam different right and left fabric material such as sportswear
Reduce operators’ manual adjustment: This unique feature enables operators to seam two different types of fabric easily
Stable quality and improvement of productivity: It keeps stable sewing result not depending on operators’ skills, which contributes to stable quality and improvement of productivity

MEGASEW presents latest industrial sewing machine

Since the establishment in 2005, Ming Jang Company has perceived with its sharp insight the gradual adjustment and change of setting up their manufacturing equipment in garment factories to be in accordance with the inclination of change in fashion trend and rising requirement for wearing comfort in consumer markets. The company continues working hard to enable MEGASEW machines and related service to completely accomplish our core value – in search of “The art of sewing.” 4th gen. of MJ101TX was recently launched by the company. Given are some of the features:

Machine Frame is Directed and Tilting Slightly to the Right Side
Operators do not need to force their bodies forward and can easily be with wide sewing view. And don’t need to put their chests against the back of Machine frames, it’s annoying heat will no longer be transferred to bodies!

Operators are able to relax and sit straight up to perform stitching easily
The weaknesses of Normal Flat Seaming Machine: While sitting straight up as usual, operators can only be with narrow sewing views
Operators need to lean their bodies towards the left to get wider sewing view

Advanced Generation Design – “Triple Differential Ratio Feeding’’

On normal flat seam machine, if you want to adjust coarse stitch, you need to open up a big screw on the left side of the machine, and move up or down the feed Rocker Link, Now on MJ101TX the old-fashion hidden mechanism is reengineered and exposed on the right side of the machine, and with this change, the stitch adjusting is made visible and terribly easy. Furthermore, a revolutionary “Triple Differential Ratio Feeding’’ mechanism is created, by being supported by original patented Dual Differential Ratio Feeding in MJ62GX/GXD/DX machine series. Because of this new creation, the challenges for a flat seaming on differentstretching, different-weighted and different material of fabrics can be satisfyingly overcome!

To move out hidden bottom thread CAM to external type
The most weakness of hidden Bottom Thread CAM is it has restricted and sacrificed the ease of threading, maintenance, and the trouble-shooting while thread is entangled. The innovative design of MJ101TX not only eliminates the above-said problem, but also assures of a neat, clean and beautiful stitch because the Bottom Thread CAM is moved closer to sewing area where the looper is located.

Adjustable Front Needle Guard
MJ101TX adopts adjustable front Needle Guard design to protect only the four sewing needles but not to touch the retainer needle to solve the retainer needle easy breaking issue.

Superior Oil Providing and Withdrawing System
A well-designed oil providing and withdrawing system is decisive both to a longer lifespan of parts and machine and to the possibility that stitching speed can be enhanced. The innovative design of MJ101TX is featured with two high-efficient oil providing and withdrawing Oil pumps, which can make sure the oil can be drawn back by independent pump form Needle Bar and sewing Cylinder’s sewing area after the parts are perfectly lubricated.

SCD – Unprecedented Stitch Condenser for Flat Seaming (Optional)
The main purpose of SCD device is used to prevent the thread ends from breaking up. This condensed stitch provides a similar function of bartacking to step the thread ends from slipping away or taking off, so reworking will not be required!

Turel Group to introduce ShangGong Group’s latest machines

Turel Group, a pioneer in bringing latest technologies to India, has now grown to become a solution provider to sectors such as: Garment, luggage, automobile, upholstery, home furnishing and heavy duty. Turel offers end to end solutions and consultation from the drawing board to selection of machines, ordering machinery, utilities with correct specification, installation, providing training to operators, trial run and handing over the project. Turel Group is connected wherever there is an application for needle and thread, or seamless covering all segments.

Turel has introduced many leading brands to India including Brother, Duerkopp Adler, Kansai Special, Kingtex, Naomoto, Typical, Vibemac and many more. Turel is constantly searching and bringing the best automation to India. The Group has now tied up with leading groups from China such as ‘ShangGong’ who are major shareholders of Duerkopp Adler, Pfaff, KSL.

In 2018, Turel Group is looking to introduce two new brands in India: Mauser Special Sewing Machines and DAMSH Automats.

• Mauser – Entry level sewing machine
• Mauser special – High quality operations
• Mauser industrial – For heavy duty and shoe operations.
• Damsh automats covering – for Shirt + Trousers segment

Viraf Turel, Managing Director, Turel Group says “With these variants, we are aiming to capture every segment of the market.” He explains the new brands to enter Turel’s stable will in not any way compete with the technologies the company already represents, as the market segments and price differentiation make the target group very different.

He says, the new association started during his meeting with Zhang Min, Chairman and CEO, ShangGong Group at the recent CISMA 2017 in Shanghai. “At CISMA, I came to know about brands DAMSH, Mauser Special. Their working and potential excited me, so I decided to bring these machines to India and represent them.”

The ShangGong Group has over the last few years taken over the responsibility of brands like KSL, Duerkopp Adler, PFAFF, SG Gemsy, Beisler and Mauser Special. While SG Gemsy and Mauser Special are Chinese brands, the rest are German. The company makes world-class machines in China at competitive prices. Turel feels the ‘Made in China’ label will not in anyway erode the value of Mauser Special.

Meant for both export and domestic markets, Mauser’s value will be augmented by the level of after sales service to be provided by the Turel Group. The company will train its technical team on the highly automated machines and gain knowledge about its working and specifications even before the machines reach India market. The installation and handing will be done by trained technicians. To further strengthen the support service for Mauser, ShangGong is planning to open a representative office in India. “I will give comprehensive support – pre-sales (an application engineer will train the operators about the machine), after sales, and after after-sales to help them get maximum out of the machine.”

The latest innovation of Ramsons – Go Green Technology is a greener and earth-friendlier alternative for the fabric finishing and is undoubtedly an innovation for the future.

Fabcare presents latest garment dyeing solution

Established in 1995, Fabcare Garments & Textile Machinery Private Limited is one of the manufacturers and suppliers of garments & textile machinery in India. Its range is made as per the set industry norms and guidelines, utilising the finest raw materials and modern machines. This ensures the product’s performance, service line, strength and capacity. The offered range is made up of the finest textile machines, washer extractor and washing machine, which are widely demanded. In addition to this, the offered range is priced at the most reasonable rate possible.

Fabcare – Mist Spray – Resinator

Fabcare water free process for garment finishing is recently developed equipment, extending its use to all kind of surface treatments on garments. The main beneficiaries of the new technology are industrial laundries & garment dyeing house that will be able to carry out the application of softeners, dyes, antimicrobial products, among others, through a more eco-friendly, rapid and economic process.

It benefits finishing garment companies in both economic and environmental aspects. The use of the Mist Spray technology will derive in significant reduction of use of resources: Water use reduction up to 90 per cent, energy use reduction up to 47 per cent and eliminating chemical wastes associated to water dumping, all of them involved in garment finishing processes.

The equipment uses the exact quantity needed for the process; conditioning technology has been adapted to other specific textile finishing processes, like functionalization and exhaustion (Durable Water Repellence, Wrinkle-Free, 3D effects, CPD-Cold Pigment Dyeing.

Technical aspects of the eco-innovative solution. The core technology consists of new equipment for treating garments. All processes are performed at room temperature with minimal quantities of water and chemicals.
Conditioning processes: The simplest of finishing processes. Different kinds of softening applications can be performed through these processes.
Functionalization processes: Specific treatments to give special properties to the garment such as resistance to make it waterproof, antimicrobial or anti-wrinkle and to give it UV protection. These treatments can be applied to protective clothing, sportswear or home textiles.
Exhausting processes: Dyeing directly on garments. As production series are shorter than before, dyeing the garments directly is more common.

Water is precious – Let’s not waste it on Garment Dyeing

Today, garment-dyeing units have more options when it comes to both equipment and chemicals—the two main aspects of the business that were traditionally the least eco-friendly. Because of those increased options, and higher customer expectations when it comes to sustainability, what used to be an oddity is now essentially a requirement: According to some reports, 95 per cent of garment dyeing units are now looking for green products and services to appeal to customers.

When it comes to equipment, the big difference between traditional machines and eco-friendly options is in water and energy usage. There are now industrial garment dyeing machines that provide a superior quality while using up to 70 per cent less water and 50 per cent less energy than what the industry was used to, which is not only more sustainable, but more cost effective. Dyeing processes are also a big piece of the sustainability puzzle. Purchasing environmentally friendly chemicals isn’t enough; you have to be sure the chemical is being used in the proper amounts.

An overall solution

The moral of the story: Yes, garment-dyeing machines can be both effective and eco-friendly, but it isn’t enough to buy machines that claim to be green. We need to rethink the way we do dyeing-washing entirely. Fabcare Washers use up to 70 per cent less water, 50 per cent less energy, and approximately 50 per cent less chemicals enzyme, and delivers superior cleaning results compared to conventional washing machines. New Fabcare Splash washing machine is able to use less water and deliver a gentler wash, thanks to the revolutionary Splash technology, helping garment dyeing units to save on average almost a million liters of water each year.

Especially designed drum mechanically pressurized liquor to be penetrated into the garments. Said system provides 50 per cent more loading allowance along with 70 per cent saving from water, chemicals, heating energy, waste water, 40 per cent saving from electricity and 50 per cent saving from dye stuff. The result is higher quality, easier operation, more economic and competitive dyeing without any rejection even during the long process time. The Splash Series drum, as we named it, is a revolutionary drum structure with reverse scopes placed behind the beaters. This drum structure provides homogenous penetration of dyes-chemicals onto the fabrics, therefore increasing the effectiveness of washing quality.

During dyeing & washing, wherein the passage of water is restricted with the help of special drum structure; passed water from the drum through lessened perforations to the tub is pumped back into the drum. With said method the gap volume between inner drum and tub is completely depleted and no water is kept in this area during processes of dyeing & washing or rinsing. Mentioned gap area equals to 40-50 per cent of total required water volume of conventional machines and provides 40-50 per cent savings from required water. By eliminating the unessential water, which normally has to be kept in the gap area, water consumption reduces dramatically and depending on saved water, all chemicals, heating energy and waste water consumptions are reduced as same. Reducing the water filled into drum results in to use smaller motors where friction forces between drum and water are eliminated by keeping the gap area empty. This further allows loading the machines more than usual, which reduces the electricity consumption.

STAY ahead with innovative digital textile printing from Epson

Epson Italia S.p.A., an Epson Group company, has acquired For.Tex S.R.L., a leader in the textile printing industry. Epson Italia, which purchased a 50 per cent stake in For.Tex in 2012, completed the buyout in a move that strengthens Epson’s digital textile printing business. Located in Como, the heart of the Italian and European textile industry, For.Tex specialises in sales of textile printing inks and in the manufacture and sale of essential treatment agents used in textile printing processes. Epson and For.Tex have worked closely in the digital textile printing business since 2003 as part of Epson’s joint development of the Monna Lisa digital textile printer with F.lli Robustelli S.R.L. (“Robustelli”).

Epson Sure–Color F9370 for High-Speed Production Users

The 64-inch Epson Sure–Color F9370 can deliver industrial-level production speeds up to 1,169 sq ft per hour. The printer has several features to ensure hands-off accuracy at high print speeds. For example, the F9370 has a new integrated fabric wiping system that cleans the printhead to ensure that paper fibres don’t get stuck to the printhead plate.

Inside one of these fabric wipers is about 50 feet of fabric wiping fabric—enough to last a standard user about four to six months. Every time it wipes the head, it pulls up a new fresh piece of pristine fabric. The wiping system cuts down on the need for user intervention. During a long print or overnight print, the printer can automatically wipe the printhead during the middle of print and then resume printing. It only takes a few seconds to do.

There is a roll-to-roll media support system with automatic paper-tension controls to consistently feed the paper through the printer. The feeder supports a range of paper and roll sizes and is able to handle everything from fabric production to soft signage and home décor applications. The heavy-duty frame is factory aligned and doesn’t require manual adjustment.

The take-up reel also has a capacity up to 100-pound rolls. The grip roller is designed to handle heavy-weight papers all the way down to as light as 40-gram paper. Being able to handle heavier rolling means you can put more paper on the roll to be more productive. If you’re going to print overnight, you can load the printer up. Instead of having a 500-foot roll you may be able to go up to a 1,000-foot roll. That really can boost up your overall throughput for one of these machines.

At high printing speeds, getting the tension wrong between the two rollers can result in a light band or a dark band running across the print. The F9370 has a large feed roller that helps control the speed that the paper runs through the printer. At the beginning of the roll, there’s more weight on the roll. The printer needs a little more power to overcome the inertia of the paper. When you’re at the end of the roll, the roll is pretty light and it’s easier to turn. This big grip roller gives us more precise control. The printer also has sensors in the paper unwinder, the take-up system and the media-feed roller, which all work together to ensure the proper power, torque and tension are applied at all times during printing.

The dual-printhead F9370 uses UltraChrome DS Ink technology, which delivers high-density blacks, high contrasts and good colour saturation. The printer has a high-capacity ink tank that can hold up to three liters of ink per colour. The printer has a micro-weaving function to determine how many printhead passes are needed to blend the colours when putting the ink on Epson DS Transfer Papers. Like Epson’s other printers, the F9370 uses Wasatch SoftRIP TX software. The printer is managed from the Epson Control Dashboard, which can run cleanings remotely, check ink levels, update firmware and download new media profiles.

Seiko Epson Corp. Having aggressive plans for Monna Lisa

by Editorial Team | Dec 24, 2017 | Cover Story, Technology

Italy’s capital city of the industrial district, centre of excellence for high-quality fabric printing and recently at the forefront in the development of the digital textile industry, Como recently hosted the Epson Textile R-Evolution event, organised on the 20-21, November by Epson together with F.lli Robustelli and For.Tex. The event focused on present and future of digital textile printing, a sector in which Como has played a fundamental role thanks to local companies acting as experimental laboratories for the most innovative technologies to develop the worldwide trend. It provided attendees an opportunity to find out about Epson’s commitment, objectives and future strategies and to examine the latest technological developments presented with F.lli Robustelli and For.Tex – now part of the Epson Group.

(R-L) Riccardo Robustelli – Commercial Director, F.lli Robustelli s.r.l., Sandro Robustelli – Production Director, F.lli Robustelli S.r.l., Minoru Usui – President, Epson

With digital printing production exceeding 60 per cent, the evolution of the Digital Textile Valley Made in Italy is today a fact. This development has been boosted also by Epson which has been investing in the Como area since 1998 – the year it started to cooperate with Robustelli and For.Tex. This ongoing commitment is demonstrated by the opening in 2014 of the Textile Solution Centre, the state-of-the-art centre for sector research, training, promotion and development, and the recent creation of two other centres: The Innovation Research Lab, dedicated to digital fabric printing ink technology research and development, and the Printing Research Centre, created to support Epson inkjet technology’s future developments related to fabric printing.

While speaking during the event, Global President Seiko Epson Corp, Minoru Usui said, “Last year, Epson outlined its ten-year corporate vision in which we pledged to continue to boost the competitive advantage of our products and achieve growth in new domains by becoming a valued and indispensable partner. Textile printing is one such new domain as we believe the time for digital to replace analog is now. To this, Epson brings unique technological expertise including our original and proprietary Micro Piezo inkjet technology, which we have perfected for digital textile printing and includes our state-of-the-art Precision Coreprintheads.”

Inkjet printing: The future of textile printing

Originally created to speed production times and reduce pattern book production costs, in 20 years digital printing has taken a leading role in the design and production of printed fabrics. There is a consensus that inkjet printing is the future of the textile printing so that in the fashion industry – particularly sensitive to versatility, speed and customisation – an ever increasing amount of printed fabrics is realised using the inkjet technology. The advantages are not only economic and practical but also ecological. The sustainability aspects have found a powerful ally in digital textile printing.

To deal with this critical topic, during the event, the three companies presented.”Digital printing and sustainability,” the third of the Textile Solution Centre Book series. The report provides an in-depth examination of sustainability applied to the digital printing on textile sector. It started with an analysis of the economic and cultural background which the technology is now a part – its fashion sector connections and the continually evolving market dynamics. The technological aspects of printing processes are analysed along with the environmental impact of the technology and an outline of the trends in future developments. This stressed the extent to which Epson, For.Tex and Robustelli are committed to sustainability and how a total solution is typified by their continuous search to achieve a minimal environmental impact through practices such as eco-design and chemical certification. It is a constant quest for excellence which, after the launch of the first Monna Lisa in 2003, continues to offer the textile sector a unique solution and reference standard for the high-quality textile printing sector today with the Monna Lisa EvoTre – the latest model in this successful series of industrial printers.

This was shown by the recent launch of the new R&D centres, based in the Como area – the Digital Textile Valley. This region is a world-wide area of excellence and a reference for quality textile printing.

Digital printing and sustainability

Originally created to speed production times up and reduce pattern book production costs, in 20 years digital printing has taken a leading role in the design and production of printed fabrics. There is a consensus that inkjet printing is the future of the textile printing in both the fashion sector, which is particularly sensitive to versatility, speed and customisation, and other production sectors, such as interior design.

The third Book of the “Beyond the Silk Road”series was unveiled at the digital textile industry conference, organised by Epson. Created by the Textile Solution Centre Advisory Board by Epson, and F.lli Robustelli, the “Digital printing and sustainability”Book covers the latest environmental impact thinking within the textile industry. The publication was edited by Blumine, a textile and fashion industry sustainability research and consulting company, in collaboration with the Como technical institute Rete Clima.

The focus on digital printing is entirely justifiable as it is a well-established and ever rising trend,“In the first half of 2017, there were more than 982,300,000 sq mtr of digitally printed fabric. The many advantages of this cutting-edge printing technology can be found throughout the industry, from the companies to the final consumers. The economic, organisational and ecological benefits include waste reduction, fewer wash cycles and the related reduction in environmental pollution.

The “Digital printing and sustainability” Book provides an in-depth examination of sustainability applied to the digital printing on the textile sector. It starts with an analysis of the economic and cultural background, which the technology is now a part of, its fashion sector connections and the continually evolving market dynamics. Special attention is given to the research role and the production of low environmental impact chemicals. Printers are governed by laws, regulations, certifications and restrictive specifications produced by customers and brand in the fashion industry. This can be seen from the interviewed opinion leaders and from For.Tex’s daily experience.

Environmental advantages of inkjet printing

The study collects the data obtained by simulating the consumption of materials needed to print 1,000 mtr of fabric using conventional and digital technologies based on values provided by a printer run with both types of equipment. The processed data revealed that digital technology has a smaller carbon footprint compared to traditional printing. The report explains that a digital system produced less equivalent CO2 than a conventional rotary system – specifically, this is 139.56 kg of equivalent CO2 compared to 85.66 kg of equivalent CO2. This significantly limits the contribution to climatic warming.

Digital printing used 27 per cent less water, confirming yet another vital statistic, which has two environmental knock-on effects. This proces guarantees a reduction both in the volume of wastewater sent for purification and in the consumption of energy for heating process water. This further lowers the carbon footprint while using the printer.

Further analysis in the report includes a study of the environmental advantages evaluation introduced by the constant maintenance model at the production plant used by F.lli Robustelli. The evaluation used a Life Cycle Thinking approach and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) techniques to the Monna Lisa EvoTre printer, the latest in the series developed by Fratelli Robustelli based on Epson technology. A circular economy logic and the non-replacement of the machine’s structural parts, thanks to optimised update and maintenance protocols developed by Robustelli Spa, reduces greenhouse gases in comparison with the more invasive alternative.

revamping process. This reduction is an indirect environmental benefit. Manufacturing a new printer (based on a small size Monna Lisa EvoTre) has a carbon footprint of about 13,900 equivalent CO2. However, it is now possible to keep more than 80 per cent of the machine in service at each five-year maintenance. The limited invasiveness of the maintenance work produces a clear economic benefit for the final customer and limits the environmental cost compared to more critical maintenance. The environmental cost of the parts replaced is equivalent to “only” 3,260 kg of equivalent CO2, or 25 per cent of the overall environmental cost of new production.

Visit to Textile Solution Center – A live Demo Center

Paolo Crespi, Commercial Director, FOR.TEX S.r.l.

On 21st November, the Epson organised a Tour to TSC -Textile Solution Center in Fino Mornasco, the state-of-the-art centre for research, training, promotion and development of the digital textile printing. During this visit Apparel Views Editor Arvind Kumar spoke to Paolo Crespi, Commercial Director, FOR.TEX S.r.l. According to Paolo Crespi, “Inkjet printing is an irreplaceable technology in a textile production system which has to cope with the daily demand for flexibility and customisation of production. It is a question of understanding how much digital printing is consistent with the demand for reducing environmental impact and chemical safety that the customers and brands are imposing on textiles manufacturers and printers. Our mission is to study the dynamics and drivers of cultural and technological innovation. The Textile Solution Centre was established to disseminate digital innovation culture among the textile printing processes. We do this through our training programmes for different public sectors: Both making our teaching available by running workshops in schools, businesses and research institutes that want the first-hand experience of the potential of inkjet printing and publishing the “Beyond the Silk Road” Book series.”

Commenting on FOR.TEX association with Epson he said, “We have the knowledge of textiles i.e. chemical knowledge. Print is just one of the process where we will find results that means we have to treat the fabrics first, then print with the fabric printers and then to finish the fabrics, the treatment process has to be needed according to the range we are using the fibre. For synthetic fibres we use disperse dyes, for cellulosic fibres reactive, for silk, wool and protech fibres we need acid dyes. But old processes are different so you have to manage the right chemicals and the right process. Robustelli does not have this kind of knowledge because they are machine maker and Epson too because they are focusing on technology. So, practically they needed someone to take care of this part because without if you cannot rant on customers for the service. If you don’t manage all the things final result will not be the same. FOR.TEX is important for the group and we are one which is in direct customers with customers. Our job is little different from Espon and Robestelli but it’s a daily job. We have to convince the customers before their investment that whole Monna Lisa project is good enough and we as FOR.TEX we invite here in our center and we teach them how to proceed because we give them proof well done, well printed and well finished.”

Speaking about his experience of interacting with Indian customers Crespi said, “In India, I have some customers for many years; this market is different from the European market but not so much. In India you have some customers that are looking for high quality as well, many others are looking for high production and lower cost but in the same market you have both so in the beginning when we start we are focusing first on the high quality one. The key issue is to give proof to customers in India that want to drive faster because we can do it and we can rand also the quality, faster and high quality and if possible, low mentainance cost. We needed to manage with a different strategy when we start ourselves; we tried to get the best customers as per our quality. Now with Epson organisation and branch office there we can think about a different approach to spread all over the country and also have to elute over the productivity but future is there for sure.”

When asked about the price part, Crespi said, “In future we can expect price of digital textile printing inks to come down and we can demonstrate. As when we started 14 year ago, the price of ink was 150 euro per kg and step by step every year Epson and our group brand to the customers for a new price down. So, even this year 2018, we are already talking with our customers and asked them to be calm enough because we will brand taking for a better price. The new prices of the ink will follow the total volume of inks. Epson strategic don’t want to get so much money but are looking for really a revolution. They will join the customers for better prices, the volume give us the opportunity for next year for sure.”

Speaking about their present market he said, “Today, Our district has plenty of Monna Lisa and we can say that we are the leaders here. Because in the beginning, when we started we focused on this district first and we are the leaders. Of course there are competitors because we were focusing on this district they moved to other countries first. And now they are trying to come to Italy, so it’s totally opposite to us. But today Como District is almost full, so their opportunities are limited. So, theoretically we have plenty of opportunities in other countries, more than the competitors as in our country.”

“As far as our target in 2018 is concerned, we wish to place as much as units as possible but talking about our possibility to produce; now we can produce from five to six units per month. Till today we have delivery of two three months so I think that it’s possible to place more than 50 units, and in India we wish around 15-20 installations. Today big market for us is Italy but Turkey and India are really important. If you look at future of course India and Turkey are the best and most important markets for us,” Crespi concluded.

Press conference during the convention

Giovanni Pizzamiglio DTF Sales & Marketing Director EMEAR & Americas, Epson

On the first day of the Digital Printing Convention, a press conference was organised by Epson, in which Giovanni Pizzamiglio, DTF Sales & Marketing Director EMEAR & Americas, Epson spoke about the “Epson Total Solution: Technologies and solutions for the textile industry.” While speaking exclusively to Apparel Views Editor Arvind Kumar, Giovanni Pizzamigilio discussed how Epson proprietary printing technology PrecisionCore makes the difference.

“The heart of Epson PrecisionCore technology is the latest generation printing chip, the Micro Thin Film Piezo (MicroTFP) designed to offer customers the highest performance and value. The development of micron thick piezo-electric crystals, which are a hundredth of a human hair thick, allowed the maximum ink supply from the more compact print engine, resulting in a higher density of the print nozzles. Combined with high precision nozzles and ink channels, the TFP print heads apply nearly perfect round drops on substrates with maximum accuracy. The technology of the PrecisionCore print heads is the result of the material science and MEMS systems manufacturing technology knowledge developed by the company to enhance TFP’s success,“ says Giovanni. “Integration of the innovative PrecisionCore Micro TFP printhead which, thanks to the extremely thin (micron thick) piezo-electric element, is uniquely efficient and resulting in high productivity combined with high print quality. THnk conservation: The exclusive vacuum-packed and degassed ink management system is designed to obtain the maximum efficiency and ensure that less ink is wasted. In the new version of Monna Lisa we have doubled productivity up to 650 m2/h thanks to the PrecisionCore Micro TFP printhead. This technology is only used by Monna Lisa, we do not provide any print head manufacturer the precision for this technology.

He also said the print head is not very expensive, so when asked how much in comparison to other brands Giovanni said, “The thing we are trying to establish in the market is price we had is much more competitive than today’s situation. To achieve that we need to optimise the volume of print heads. Of course Epson has power to use the economy of scale, in order to optimise the cost efficiency, therefore be able to offer the most competitive condition to the market. The precision core technology is basically not exclusive to the Monna Lisa, means within Epson range of product basically becoming certain standard. So, this is the kind of challenge to use the economy of scale in order to be able to offer the industrial in a more competitive price position. We are already more competitive than other brands in the market as those are more expensive than us.”

Especially for Monna Lisa the company has developed its own Genesta inks. “The water-based inks developed by Epson in collaboration with FOR.TEX are created to allow precision and fastness in fabric prints. Genesta inks – acid, reactive, disperse and pigment – enable to obtain the highest quality on any type of fabric. We are also trying to expand, the range of the ink at the different target course. We do we have ecosolvent ink dyes which are probably suitable for this type of material. This is now showing the positive return. The first phase was developing without really understanding the co-operation in each of the company developing horizon. Now every element is combined together so it is easier to develop the solution,” said Giovanni.

Global presence and importance of Indian market

Commenting on their leading markets especially in Asian region Giovanni said, “India, because we really have a good agent with good technical support there already. Generally, Asia is growing everywhere so India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Korea, Vietnam as well as China are important for us. But China at the moment really keep it off, we need to set-up the commercial stage there, but it ofcourse will be a top market in future.”

“At present, Turkey is the second largest market after Italy for Monna Lisa. We have an agent there, not only for sales but also for providing technical support. We do have a branch office in Turkey that is already supporting the clients. That’s why Turkey is very important for us and second in terms of no. of installations. We believe that we need to expand this further more by having more technical people. We have already some, but we need to expand more. The main markets are Italy, Turkey and then India. We see a lot of potential in Latin America, China, the US and believe the potential in these markets is growing even more. Besides, there is a lot of potential in European market as well,” added Giovanni.

What is the lead time they have for delivering Monna Lisa in the Indian Market? On this Giovanni said, “Ofcourse to grow bigger is to be really able to produce more. It is meaningless when we say we want to sell everywhere in the world, but not able to deliver. Since July last year we started adding more resources, no. of people working in Robustelli has increased significantly. We are already 35 and expanding more. These are being done with clear intention to expand the no. of units produced. Japan is also expected to help us to expand our production when it comes to Monna Lisa same as what we do here. So we can deliver faster. We will introduce several new models basically started matching through common platform. The working capacity has increased already so it’s a good time and lots of things to do. Everybody has a new mind-set. No. of people in Japan is increasing, there is basically continues flow of people to bring new ideas.”

When asked about the growing demand of pigment printing he said, “We do have pigment which is already part of our catalogue. We believe the level of our pigment is good and to really change the scale of digital printing, pigment is the key. Pigment will be the turnaround where everything will expand. Though it’s complicated but has long way to go. What you have in the market today is a sort of reference. You can find company talking more about pigment but there is no real significant difference. There is no economy of scale in the price of pigment inks. The market will completely change with launch of new generation of pigment inks.

Orange O Tec’s support system validates all that by having a bouquet of highly satisfied customers.

The dart–An important tool of the pattern maker in garment construction!

by Editorial Team | Nov 22, 2017 | Technology

When designing cuts, darts serve to enhance the fit. The fit is a quality feature in the garment and lingerie industry that is used to evaluate how the cut, the flow of lines and the function of a piece of clothing match the anatomic needs of the person who wears it.

When it comes to the design of the darts, one distinguished between:

Single-pointed, double-pointed or conical darts
Straight darts and those with a curved seam
Incised and not-incised darts

The effectiveness of the dart is largely determined by the shape, the seam contour as well as the length and the depth of the dart. In pattern construction the depth ofthe darts is determined by experience or calculation. The length of the dart depends on the depth and the function of the dart. Independent of the depth and the length, one must ensure that that the seam contour is even and harmonious relative to the point. The point which is located in a particular position of the finished garment, must be sewn correctly and flatly; otherwise so-called “dimples” will appear.

Source: PFAFF Industriesysteme und Maschinen GmbH

Problems with the fit may in many cases are caused by the production process. The position and the contour of the dart are determined by the pattern design. What, however, happens during production? The dart is distributed to various workplaces to utilise the machine capacity although the workplace and the operator cannot really fulfill the requirements. A continuous repeatability can hardly berealised. Productivity and the full utilisation of the capacities of existing machines are given priority over quality and process reliability.

The belief that quality can only be achieved at the expense of productivity can be refuted here. The class PFAFF 3586 and PFAFF 3519 sewing units for darts ensure 100 per cent repeatability and significantly increase productivity at the same time.

An overview of the class features:

Darts are sewn from the pocket opening to the point. This ensures a slim, neat point with no untidy “dimples”
Conversion independent of guide rails / pre-programmed seam contours enable a change of operations in a matter of seconds: Simple operation short training periods
Identical dart depths for identical material thickness; even when switching the material and thus varying material thicknesses the desired dart depth may be exactly maintained by using a “correction key” Integrated programming of the seam pattern
The desired measurements may be directly entered via the P1operator panel of the touch screen (see examples on the next pages). Pre-defined standard seams are quickly edited / modified with ease
Sewing of up to 8 different seam types in any desired sequence, so e.g. different darts and waistband pleats can be set and produced mirror imaged
Stacker + loading table for overlapping work method
Streamlining features such as needle thread monitor, counter and a detection for the remaining bobbin thread

Studio Next Unveils It’s Indigenous Manual Spreader Prototype

by Editorial Team | Sep 19, 2017 | Technology

Studio Next started off in 2003 with a small investment and big hopes of making a difference to the textile and garment industry. All they had was some understanding of the needs of the industry and some solutions that looked promising. The idea was to create a USP through products that not only offered state-of-the-art solutions, but also were user-friendly, and came at most reasonable prices. Studio Next has always believed that technology must be easy to use, must help boost efficiency and productivity, and must not cost a fortune. Today, the company is counted among the leading suppliers of CAD/ CAM solutions and services in India.

The company recently unveiled the prototype of its new manual fabric spreader at the Garment Technology Expo held in Ahmedabad. The manual spreader can deliver various benefits from doubling up the efficiency and reducing manpower at a very nominal price. It’s been many years the company has been into offering CAD/CAM solutions from Chinese manufacturers, but now with this spreader it has entered into manufacturing segment also. “We had been a technology company doing automation of cutting room at a level of around Rs. 70 lakh to Rs. 1 cr. Then we found that there was huge scope for mid and small size garment companies, which are booming up and also need some kind of technology solutions in manufacturing. Since we had the technical knowhow of what exactly the industry needs, so that pushed us to get into making a product which is very affordable and can be placed with a company having turnover of Rs. 1 cr to Rs. 25 cr, which cannot afford very high cost technology at the moment. But to increase their efficiency I wanted to give a basic technology, which has level of efficiency and manpower optimisation,” says Vishal Sher, MD, Studio Next while speaking exclusively to Apparel Views.

“Ten years down the line I tried making the same stuff but I miserably failed because my back-end support was not strong in terms of the industry. We didn’t have the proper facilities but now our suppliers are using latest machines for making the products, which we required to make machines, which initially cost very high. Now these are easily available in Indian market,” said Vishal.

The spreader comes in two versions; Firstly, the manual one, which is a basic model but it will have all chain drives, basically the feeding device through chain drive system. Secondly, the company is coming up with the motorized version, which will also have certain sensors to measure the distance. This is going to be launched next as the prototype is already ready. Presently, it is under R&D and testing, and once completed the same will be launched for our customers. Next is going to be semi-automatic ones, which will have automatic drive systems using the servo motors along with the sensors.

Commenting on the price part Vishal says, “If you are going to take automatic version it will cost around Rs. 25 lakhs. But for the manual spreader we have kept it around one-and-half-lakh rupees for first 30 units. Then of course 2 lakh rupees depending on the upgrades you go for, but we want to keep it very affordable. When imported from China, the manual machine will cost twoand- a-half times of the price, plus you have to pay a lot of duties, clearing and forwarding charges. We have displayed it for the first time at GTE Ahmedabad exhibition, and have already received 8 orders.”

“After seeing the performance here, a lot of customers have appreciated the prototype. But we are going to modify its design further along with other improvements. Their encouragement inspires me to invest more on the R & D of this project. We have invested in place, manpower and done modernization in our assembling line. Besides, we are working on a lot of value added products and also talking to some major companies worldwide to collaborate for technology transfer,” said Vishal.

“Today, China is becoming so expensive in terms of manpower, all other rates going up and currency is depreciating against dollar. So, looking at all these prospects, manufacturing in India will be a good idea. Moreover, with govt. giving lots of incentives and encouragement, we are also going ahead with the Make in India concept. So, there are a lot of plans in pipeline,” said Vishal. “Last year we missed our targets marginally, however this year in first quarter itself we have exceeded our expectations. We have normally grown at a rate of 20-30 per cent Y-O-Y & intent to maintain the same pace of growth this year. As far as this new machine sales target is concerned, this year we are convinced to sell around 200 pieces.”

Some of the latest apparel manufacturing technologies

by Editorial Team | Aug 19, 2017 | Technology

Indian garment exports has clocked 18 per cent growth since January 2017 after having remained stagnant for past three years and we hope that similar trend may continue for remaining period this year. Last year apparel exports were to the tune of $17 bn and this year growth is expected to be between 17-20 per cent from April to March 2017- 2018.The growth in exports will be supported by its expectations of increase in the global apparel trade and partly due to benefits of depreciated rupee. Moreover, the country’s emerging position as a preferred supplier for valueadded garments has significantly improved.

To cater this growing demand more effectively, new technologies play a very important role. This is the reason, why all major apparel manufactures have acknowledged the role of applying innovative techniques to help them remain ahead in today’s competitive markets. As a result, technology suppliers are striving hard to innovate and develop new technologies keeping with demands of the industry.

In its continuous endeavour to provide the industry informative content, in the next few pages we are covering some of latest technologies introduced for apparel manufacturing…
