“With the development of enabling inkjet technologies and the emergence of reliable high-speed textile inkjet printers, the output of digital printed textiles is now growing steadily,” Inkjet Forum said.

“We realise that for new entrants into this technology, there are challenges in understanding what types of systems and technology to invest in, and what utilising digital printing means to your business model,” it added.

“This event will go a long way towards answering those questions as it provides an ideal knowledge-sharing platform for all stakeholders for growth and betterment of the technology,” the company observed.

Aditya Chandavarkar, founder of Inkjet Forum India said, “Digital textile printing has found its way into markets as diverse as apparel and garment printing, home furnishings, industrial fabrics and soft signage.”

“Worldwide by market penetration, digitally printed textiles account for less than 3 per cent by volume of total fabric printed, but the market size is enormous, and growth in adoption is accelerating,” he too added.

According to Chandavarkar, the $300 million digital printing market in India has seen 95 per cent rise in installation base for industrial digital textile printing machines between 2014–2015.

Inkjet Forum India said it is currently developing the conference programme and recruiting sponsors and speakers for the event and the full programme will be announced in April 2016. (AR)
