Premex Solutions’ award-winning PrepRITE™ digital textile fabric range will feature across several of the world’s leading OEM booths during this year’s PRINTING United Expo in Florida.
Attendees will see high-profile collaborations with HP, Mimaki, Monti Antonio, Klieverik, Coldenhove, and DGI throughout the show.
Staff from Premex Solutions, the USA’s leading supplier of truly print ready fabrics, will be at the Orange County Convention Center from October 22-24.
“PRINTING United is a vital platform for innovation and collaboration, and we’re proud to see PrepRITE™ represented so strongly across so many OEM booths this year,” said Nick Smith, the Managing Partner of Premex Solutions, Inc.
“Premex’s PrepRITE™ range is trusted by OEMs and print professionals worldwide for its consistent performance across dye-sublimation, pigment and Latex printing technologies. And our partnerships at the show highlight the strength of collaboration between textile innovation and print technology.”
A central collaboration with HP will see PrepRITE™ fabrics showcased in an array of live demonstrations and finished products include tote bags, scarves, cushions, tea towels and lampshades. Each piece highlights the quality and print precision achievable using HP’s latest Gen 4 Latex and Dye-Sub technologies on the PrepRITE™ fabric base.
HP will also live-print several PrepRITE™ fabrics as part of a micro-factory-style production setup that will run throughout the show. Printed materials will be fixed, cut and sewn across multiple partner booths, with the finished tote bags given away to visitors.
The collaboration also includes co-branded HP and PrepRITE™ sample books featuring exclusive artwork by Beth Lingard, winner of the Premier Digital Textiles New Designers Prize.
Beth Lingard’s “Dusk till Dawn” collection will feature prominently across the HP, Monti Antonio and Klieverik booths, illustrating how digital print technology can bring detailed, intricate designs to life on textile substrates.
At the Monti Antonio booth, her designs will appear on live-pressed 3-metre-wide PrepRITE™ Denver fabric, paper-printed at the HP Graphics Experience Center, with co-branded sample books and giveaways available for visitors. At the Klieverik booth, PrepRITE™ Chenille fabric printed with Lingard’s designs will be pressed live, again supported with sample books and giveaways.
Premex Solutions also has a major presence at the Mimaki booth, where a range of applications including tote bags, scarves and cushions will be displayed using the latest TX330 and TS200 printers. Some of these applications have been produced in partnership with Hybrid Services in the UK and others by Mimaki US.
Designs by Australian artist Frida Las Vegas will add further colour and creativity to the collaboration, with co-branded Mimaki and PrepRITE™ sample books highlighting the results.
Additional collaborations include bespoke printed Coldenhove and PrepRITE™ sample books that demonstrate exceptional print transfer consistency with TRAPIS Technology, and a showcase with DGI featuring printed giveaways and co-branded samples that highlight the vibrancy achievable through dye-sublimation on PrepRITE™ materials.
Nick Smith added: “PrepRITE™ continues to evolve in step with OEM advancements, giving designers, print providers and brands the confidence to achieve the highest levels of quality, creativity and sustainability.
“While we are not exhibiting directly, Premex Solutions’ presence will be felt across the show floor through these high-profile collaborations.”
