Bringing embroidery to the digital age

The printing trade is continually altering. Revolutionary new concepts for much more optimised textile printing are commonly launched. Brother offered one such choice at this yr’s Fespa, the modern direct to embroidery (DTE) printing resolution. Put merely, DTE is the mixture of embroidery and direct to garment printing – embroidered designs with a 1200Dpi print on prime. Suited to massive runs or personalised small runs – it makes no distinction for this mixture.

With this addition to their portfolio, Brother is increasing the probabilities for adornment with a GTX collection printer. Through the use of a high-resolution digicam and specifically developed software program, the print design and the embroidery are mixed in a novel and excellent look. The linked digicam system recognises the place of the embroidery on the printing plate and forwards the print picture to the printer within the precise place of the embroidery.

The workflow can also be very user-friendly, because the embroidery picture doesn’t should be aligned intimately on the printing plate. The digicam system scans the embroidery space, no matter whether or not the embroidery is rotated or the other way up on the plate. By scanning by the digicam, the print is positioned precisely on the sew, nearly eliminating misprints.

The GTXpro collection printers don’t should be transformed for this course of. Solely the digicam and the related software program should be linked to the printer. As well as, the method for this printing methodology on an embroidery is an identical to the basic direct to garment printing.

The particular side about DTE is that solely a white thread is required for the embroidery. The white embroidery picture could be refined with the water-based and GOTS-certified Brother inks. This allows many distinctive potentialities within the embroidery sector: vibrant and vibrant colors, color gradients, transparencies, and a quick workflow.
