EFI (Electronics For Imaging), a global technology firm, is showing its award-winning end-to-end solution for digital textile manufacturing, the EFI Mini Textile Factory, at the ongoing Sourcing at MAGIC, the apparel, garments, and fashion clothing & accessories industry event, which is being held from February 11 to 14, 2018, in Las Vegas, in booth #66806.

A unique offering for industrial textile digital printing, the factory encompasses design, print preparation, printing, image fixation and cutting with an integrated set of solutions from EFI and partners.

MAGIC attendees can witness how digital printing can revolutionise the apparel market with the EFI Optitex 2D and 3D Design platform, the EFI Fiery Textile Bundle, and EFI Reggiani inkjet printers. This digital workflow makes it easy to collaborate globally and reduces the cost of both sample making and the manufacture of small-lot apparel.

The Mini Textile Factory gives users the ability to do fast prototyping and production, but it also eliminates the need for large minimum orders and inventory, while reducing turn time to market. Apparel companies can produce their goods as you need them, when it’s ordered and purchased.

Adele Genoni, vice president and general manager, EFI Reggiani said, “This digital transformation is quickly taking hold as brands embrace the ability to bring new collections to market faster, increase the amount of customisation they can offer. The Mini Textile Factory gives brands the ability to create products closer to the point of need while reducing costs and cycle time.”

Visitors to EFI’s booth can experience the full digital textile eco-system for manufacturing, from design to cutting to sewing. EFI Optitex provides an integrated 2D/3D digital solution for the fashion and textile industry to enable companies to quickly create true-to-life 3D digital garments that inspire.

The EFI Fiery Textile Bundle combines the tools for efficient textile design and file preparation, with the Fiery digital front end (DFE) for professional colour management and high-quality RIP output.

EFI Reggiani printing solutions offer a digital printing process with water-based inks. This eco-friendly, green production process delivers stunning colours and colour fidelity for striking fashion designs. A variety of different processes can be implemented into the process to allow fixation of colour on any number of different fabrics. EFI and partner technologies automate the cutting process, thanks to its compatibility with almost any material to prepare fabrics for sewing. (GK)
