The Fiery CADlink booth featured robust colour management tools that streamline and automate otherwise challenging prep work tasks to ensure apparel decorators can get the best results fast in apparel decoration. Dealer partner DTF Superstore joined Fiery CADlink in its Impressions Expo booth exhibit.
Fiery®, the digital front end (DFE) digital print workflow business of EFI, demonstrated advanced Fiery CADlink® direct-to-film and wide format DFE and workflow solutions for apparel decorators and specialty print businesses at the expo in California, earlier in January.
The advanced Fiery CADlink Digital Factory v10 RIP and software technologies that were demonstrated give users fast solutions to troublesome tasks, such as creating knock-outs for automatic black, white or colour removal. This advanced technology also provides another unique advantage, eliminating complicated file-preparation steps needed for direct-to-film production using white ink. Fiery CADlink solutions also enable printing on both sheets and rolls of film for the ultimate flexibility in apparel decorating operations.
The expansive capabilities of the digital print technology portfolio featured prominently throughout Impressions Expo. In addition to the exhibit, Fiery CADlink DFE and workflow software solutions for wide format inkjet printing, film separations, digital engraving, and more were shown in more than 30 partner exhibits across the show floor.
Direct-to-film printing using Fiery CADlink solutions brings a new level of sustainability and efficiency in garment decoration. Users can save time, money and resources in transfer work – and gain superior results compared with direct-to-garment printing – with a heat transfer production workflow. This delivers: outstanding results on natural fibres, polyester, and poly blends; excellent hand feel and wash characteristics; high-quality colour imaging for light or dark fabrics; and compatibility with readily available, standard films used in analogue garment decoration.
