Options are vast when it comes to flatbeds. There are elaborate, complex models that offer all of the bells and whistles; and then there are simpler printers with basic features and functions. When a print service provider (PSP) is tasked with the difficult decision of which to choose it comes down to a few major factors. These include the type of application(s) processed in house, as well as those that might be offered in the future.
Also, it’s important that the business goals of the vendor the printer is purchased from align well with the PSP’s own. This includes everything from maintenance and service contracts to acting as a partner in how to best utilize the printer and achieve sales objectives.
Classification Purposes We asked vendors to help define an elaborate flatbed versus a simpler device. It’s important to note that “simple” doesn’t imply lack of technology. No flatbeds compromise on quality or productivity. They offer powerful processing speeds as well as the capability to operate with intuitive software.
Years ago, in the infancy of UV flatbed hardware, David Lopez, product manager, Professional Imaging, Epson America, states that complex and simple models were defined by price. “Usually, a more expensive printer would have additional features than basic printers with a much lower cost. As the UV flatbed market continues to grow, manufacturers add complexity as the standard including extended ink sets, printhead configurations, ionizers, white recirculation, and vacuum zones on entry-level models.”
Simple devices comprise of what Bill Brouhle, solutions architect, digital print sales, Agfa, refers to as “critically important features.” These include automated substrate thickness detection, X and Y axis pneumatic registration pins that pop up for consistent repeatable single- or double-sided print results, shuttle safety sensors to protect printheads from bent or dinged substrates, zoned reversible air suction control to make loading and unloading a breeze, and intuitive touch screen GUI.
According to Jeff Edwards, senior business development manager, Americas, Canon Production Printing, basic systems are often built by third-party manufacturers in low labor cost markets and are not necessarily the intellectual property or design of the brand owner. “This isn’t very hard to spot since many of these systems are almost identical despite being sold under different brands.”
It’s also important to note, depending on the OEM you initially purchase a flatbed from, a basic design doesn’t mean it can’t be upgraded to a more complex model at a later time. For example, at Fluid Color LLC the majority of its printers can initially be configured with a single row of printheads—which is another element that falls under the “basic” category.
“This gives the customer the opportunity to meet their needs today—speed and cost—and add rows of printheads in the future, which translates to more speed/production. The only penalty for the end user is that a service call is needed to install and align the new row of printheads,” explains Mark Crawford, managing partner, Fluid Color.
So what is found on complex flatbeds? “Features such as thoughtful vacuum designs, rather than simple geometric divisions; intelligent, self-monitoring pin systems that allow safe media placement without risking collision with the printing carriage; and offline software that allows for simple creation of complex work are all indicators of a more complex, comprehensive approach,” notes Edwards.
To Todd Smith, manager, product marketing for wide format and specialty products, Konica Minolta Business Solutions, U.S.A., Inc., a more advanced flatbed features hybrid printing capabilities; additional print color options like spot colors, varnish, and white ink; faster print performance; and automated board feeding.
“For me the difference is speed and automated media handling. Complex systems stress productivity and automation. These systems can cost over a million dollars but provide the productivity to justify the price. The more basic systems provide a way for many shops to enter the rigid printing market for under $100,000,” admits Ken Parsley, product manager, Mutoh America, Inc.
While speed and media handling determine the difference for Parsley, Jay Roberts, product manager – UV printers, Roland DGA Corporation, says he typically looks at a customer printing CMYK only as a basic print model. “Adding gloss and white ink then makes for more complexity. The ability to print orange and red inks, or primer inks, adds yet another level. Models offering a variety of bed sizes or printhead configurations could be considered even more advanced.”
Sifting Through the Choices With a better idea of a complex versus basic flatbed, a PSP can determine the right model for its business. Two major factors in this decision involve applications and the manufacturer.
Edwards says print providers should “put the big rocks in the jar first.” Meaning in terms of flatbeds, “first settle on an architecture based on application needs and then begin to consider the finer points from there.”
“A decision on a printer needs to be driven by the application. It is critical that print providers access their speed quality, roll versus rigid, and all other customer requirements before accessing the right printer.,” agrees Larry D’Amico, sales director, large format, Durst North America.
Outside of the physical printer, Lopez recommends working with a company that provides demonstrations. “Manufacturers provide live or virtual demonstrations where print providers can print custom files and ask questions so potential customers can get a good understanding of the product.”

“Customers should look for manufacturers with a full line of printers so that they can choose what is best for their company. They should not have to settle for options or speeds that do not fit their exact needs. In the end, the customer needs to ensure their needs are met and that the manufacturer is not just trying to sell what they have, even though it may not be the correct machine for the purchaser in the end,” adds Crawford.
The printer supplier should be outfitted to grow with your company. “PSPs should consider partnering with companies that can grow with them and help support their current wide format needs as well as their future plans,” recommends Ramona Serafino, associate product marketing manager, Fujifilm North America Corporation – Graphic Systems Division.
Vendors should also offer high-end service and support—no matter the device. Service and support is something Brouhle feels is oftentimes overlooked during the purchasing process. “PSPs should look to a vendor that offers a comprehensive service organization with the knowledge, expertise, and response time to ensure a maximum up-time for their press. If the press is not running, the PSP is not making money.”
“These solutions can be simple or complex, however it is crucial to make sure the PSP is reaching out to OEM partners that are equipped to best align with their business goals,” notes Glenn Shull, senior technology portfolio manager, Ricoh USA, Inc.
Beyond applications and the manufacturer, Crawford says ease of use is what it’s all about. “Today companies are fighting to keep their skilled operators from leaving for other opportunities. The easier a machine is to use, the easier it is for a new—possibly new to printing—operator to learn and operate it at production levels.”
“We talk about ease of use for PSPs because certain features—although they may seem basic—make it easier on the operator and reduce downtime and quick turn of jobs. For example, automatic registration pins and operator controlled vacuum zones tailored to common media sizes, reduce the masking needed and minimize waste. This allows for quick, accurate loading of the media to turn jobs faster while maintaining consistency and quality,” adds Serafino.
A factor often overlooked is value. “Most print providers only consider a basic system because they are less expensive to purchase and unfortunately that is often where their deliberation ends. If they instead factored probable longevity into their decision, a more complex, more expensive product that will still likely be commercially relevant, serviceable, supported, and supplied by the manufacturer in seven, eight, or even ten years is a much better value than a basic system that is abandoned in three or four years due to lack of support by a third-party manufacturer with no direct interest in the branded product they purchased,” admits Edwards.
According to Parsley, speed versus cost is a determining factor. “If you are entering the market, a basic unit should handle the demand. If you have a customer base for rigid output you may want to investigate the higher end printers to increase output capacity.”
Debunking Connotations A complex device might be considered challenging or costly to operate. A simple flatbed doesn’t mean it lacks in features, it is just powerful in different ways. It’s easy to disprove what words like complex and simple imply.
Debunking the myth of expensive, complex products, Edwards notes that “when predictably amortized over a longer service life the complex, often more expensive products are cheaper to own in the long run. Furthermore, the features they incorporate for machine and operator safety often results in higher quality printing over the service life of the printer and a lower service risk while in operation.”
“Purchasing a flatbed device with advanced features certainly gives your press operator more to learn, however the productivity savings and some ability to automate workflows helps with getting more print jobs out faster,” adds Smith.
More basic flatbeds are worthy of consideration. “Choosing an entry-level flatbed from a reputable, own-technology manufacturer can be an excellent choice since it may feature software tools, ink functionality, and a support infrastructure designed to support the brand’s more expensive configurations,” shares Edwards.
“Simple or more basic machines will provide all of the features necessary to produce quality work with output speeds that will meet the needs of most print providers. The question becomes do you need to produce 500 boards a week or 50,000?,” admits Parsley.
Roberts argues that a complex device is no different than a simple flatbed printer. “Both types of machines print and are designed to deliver vibrant, detailed output. It is the needs of the customers that ‘drive’ the workflow and the complexity.”
A small business does not require a basic flatbed and a larger operation isn’t necessarily the right fit for a complex device. “A critical factor for many is the size and maturity of their business. Larger companies can justify simpler more dedicated equipment that may specialize in a doing a particular application fast and efficiently,” explains D’Amico.
Keep Going Whether a complex, elaborate setup is chosen, or a simple, basic flatbed, it is important the device lasts and allows for printing every day without downtime. These are common traits that must be considered.
“Longevity and uptime are critical, which is why Canon is passionate about building quality products that last. Unfortunately, many print providers do not look beyond the basic price of the system, its stated features, and productivity without considering the long-term implications of ownership,” says Edwards.
The printer’s reliability is something shop owners depend on to keep business going. Additional features, such as white recirculation, show that manufacturers take the necessary steps to create reliable printers for customers, adds Lopez.
“Selecting a flatbed with a simple daily startup process for the press operator, basic maintenance functions with consistent print quality and performance are certainly prime considerations. In addition, having a workflow to support the flatbed device—software and finishing—is going to be critical to the success of your flatbed. I like to say the peanut butter is the flatbed, the jelly is the finisher, and ultimately the finished print application is the sandwich,” states Smith.
Whether it’s a basic, entry-level flatbed or a more complex model featuring high levels of automation, Crawford says all of the printers at Fluid Color are built to last. “They are all built on industrial, welded steel frames that are meant to run for many years,” he admits.
Best Fit for You Simplicity or complexity—there are flatbeds out there at both ends of the spectrum. If you need heightened levels of automation or perhaps color choices beyond CMYK, you might choose a slightly more complex device. However, basic flatbeds are still equipped with many of the same features, just at a lower price point, at slightly less speeds.
Simple doesn’t mean lack of technology, this hardware is still considered powerful and operates using intuitive interfaces. PSPs need to look closely at what they’re trying to achieve in house with the flatbed to get a better idea of the model that will best fit the business.

A lot of people. As COVID-19 restrictions continue to be lifted, guests and attendees are excited to be back in their element, whether it is a house of worship, music festival, or conference.
The resurgence in attendance at these large venues is clear. And now, integrators are looking to new, innovative ways to enhance that experience.
“Integrators and technology professionals are turning toward large-venue projectors to create engaging displays,&#8221; said Ramzi Shakra, product manager, Epson America. &#8220;While this includes concerts and live events, we’re also seeing a lot of interest in theater production, corporate events and spaces, across school campuses, and tradeshows and conventions.”
“As we’ve seen with the popular &#8216;Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience&#8217; exhibition—which has drawn in millions of global visitors—large venues, such as museums, are adopting technologies to create larger-than-life digital experiences and experiential events to attract consumers,” added Brian Soto, director of product management, Optoma Technology.
<a href="https://www.avnetwork.com/features/in-the-mood" rel="noopener" target="_blank">[Epson Projectors, Strand Lighting Get Visitors In the Mood]</a>
The larger the venue, the more oomph is required from the projector. At the same time, projectors need to be nearly invisible—a quiet, unobtrusive piece of equipment that keeps the focus on the content. That’s why manufacturers continue to design more compact and lightweight projectors, creating flexibility and easier setup.
“The weight and dimension for large- venue projectors have been considerably reduced over the last decade,” explained Soto. “In the past, a 10,000-lumen projector easily weighed 50-60 pounds without a lens. Today, however, high-lumen projectors on the market weigh far less, even with a lens, and offer a much smaller footprint.”
<h2 id="the-great-lcd-dlp-debate-5">The Great LCD/DLP Debate</h2>
Most venues are looking for very high brightness levels that manage a diverse range of content. Over the years, one of the larger considerations in projectors, especially when looking to maintain the same quality with higher lumens, was whether to go LCD or DLP.
“Both LCD and DLP offer their advantages,” explained Sander Phipps, senior solutions engineer, Sony Electronics. “Three-chip DLPs are well suited for high-brightness applications above 20,000 lumens, while LCD offers an excellent visual performance at an economical price point for applications with lesser brightness needs.”
<a href="https://www.avnetwork.com/news/light-it-up-how-christie-rgb-projectors-brings-272000-lumens-to-three-story-dome" rel="noopener" target="_blank">[How Christie RGB Projectors Brings 272,000 Lumens to Three-Story Dome]</a>
Making the case for DLP projectors, Soto offered several advantages. “Since DLP technology is based on reflective mirrors rather than an organic material (liquid crystal display), its image quality does not degrade over time,” he explained. “DLP also minimizes the ‘screen door’ effect when producing images, whereas LCD has space between the liquid crystal pixels, so users can more readily see that spacing. Additionally, DLP technology allows a compact architecture for virtually maintenance-free designs, requiring no filters and, for laser projectors, no lamp replacements.”
Conversely, Shakra feels LCD, specifically the 3LCD technology that Epson uses, may provide more advantages. “The 3LCD three-chip architecture dedicates an entire chip to process each primary color continuously, resulting in vibrant, realistic content with true-to-life color and equal brightness,&#8221; he noted. &#8220;While available on premium higher lumen projectors with three-chip technology, the majority of DLP projectors use single-chip technology that delivers color sequentially.”
So, the debate has not only shifted to consider LCD or DLP, but which chip technology is best. According to Soto, one-chip technology leverages one color wheel for color performance, so it is more affordable and compact, but others feel that three-chip technology is more advantageous in today’s market.
“One-chip projectors are, to an extent, a design compromise,” Phipps said. “They can be made smaller and less expensive, but at the sacrifice of picture quality. 3LCD offers picture quality at a one-chip cost.”
<h2 id="other-features-5">Other Features</h2>
In today’s world of entertainment and services—one which relies on dynamic visuals that try to provide immersive environments for consumers—there are more factors to look for when selecting the right projector for the job.
“Important considerations for large-venue projectors include flexibility of use—for instance, large lens shift ranges and a full set of lens options,” Phipps explained. “These allow flexibility in placement. Additionally, low maintenance designs like filter-less or self-cleaning filter systems are beneficial. Typically, large-venue projectors may not be easily accessible.”
<img align="middle" alt="Optoma ZU2200 Lecture Hall" class="" id="tYh8H3fbJat9HVSkXKssVj" name="ZU2200 Lifestyle Image Lecture Hall.jpg" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/tYh8H3fbJat9HVSkXKssVj.jpg"/>
&#8220;The compatible, interchangeable lens family should cover the full range, from ultra-short-throw to long-throw with minimal gaps,&#8221; Shakra added. &#8220;Ensuring compatibility and consistency across projector platforms and different chassis will help with efficiency and cost savings over the long term for end users.”
Let’s not forget about edge blending. Large, high-quality images are easier to create with dvLED displays and <a href="https://www.avnetwork.com/features/warping-and-blending-high-resolution-displays-for-experiential-environments" rel="noopener" target="_blank">video walls</a>, but the process is a little trickier with projectors. For a seamless image, multiple projectors must align perfectly to overlap in the respective regions for content, brightness, and detail.
“Edge blending technology has advanced over the years, with projector manufacturers introducing new tools and software that are built directly into a projector’s interface to help automate edge-blending and create a seamless image from multiple projectors,” Soto said. “With these new features, integrators have more control over image alignment with the help of guided displays and built-in cameras, for example, ensuring images are weaved seamlessly together with ease.”
<a href="https://www.avnetwork.com/news/tvones-coriomaster-adds-flexibility-to-university-of-kent-lecture-hall" rel="noopener" target="_blank">[tvONE&#8217;s CORIOmaster Adds Flexibility to University of Kent Lecture Hall]</a>
With those advances and added control in projector technology, has edge blending become as easy as one-touch technology?
“A touch of a single button may be a bit of an oversimplification,&#8221; Shakra said. &#8220;However, with advanced tools available today, we have been able to reduce the complexity and time required to create a large, blended image with multiple projectors. Epson’s automated tools take care of the alignment between the projectors’ overlapping image as well as the gradation in brightness in the blended area to ensure there is no hot spot, creating a seamless, ultra-large, and stunning display to impress audiences.”
“One key here is that the projector needs the ability to project deep blacks and have an accurate gamma response,” Phipps added. “With this, the blend zone will be very smooth and minimize the &#8216;bright stripe&#8217; so often seen when projectors are blended.”
<h2 id="lamps-or-laser-5">Lamps or Laser?</h2>
Simply put, projectors, especially for larger venues, have changed. There are more use cases and higher lumens needed than ever before. Chances are that large-venue projectors are being used more frequently and longer during performances or events.
Which makes the lamp projector a dying breed.
“Laser projectors are preferred for numerous reasons, including the ability to lower your overall total cost of ownership,” Phipps explained. “With laser projection, there’s no costly, inconvenient, or dangerous lamps to replace, as laser systems usually run much cooler. They also provide a light source that allows the projector imager to last longer. And, with instant on/off features, users no longer wait for lamps to warm up or cool off. Time is money.”
<a href="https://www.avnetwork.com/features/projector-software-makes-a-difference-in-themed-environments" rel="noopener" target="_blank">[Projector Software Makes a Difference in Themed Environments]</a>
“There is no denying that laser technology in projectors is on the rise,” Shakra agreed. “When choosing lamp or laser, there isn&#8217;t a specific feature set to look for per se—it really depends on the application of the projector. Pending the exact application and setting for the projectors, a few things worth looking for are brightness level, size, weight, and fan noise.”

What will classroom technology look like as we fully emerge from the pandemic?
Based on insights from an exhaustive, eight-month study completed in April by Epson, front-of-classroom technology will continue to be crucial, but there’s room for improvement in what manufacturers offer and how it is implemented.
The research included interviews of teachers, curriculum designers, principals, consultants, space designers, and other thought leaders at levels K-12, plus focus groups to show teachers new product concepts and ask for their feedback.
The findings informed what we showed at ISTELive 22 in June, the conference for the International Society for Technology in Education.
Among the findings:
<h2>1. Interactive displays are more popular than ever.</h2>
“Throughout our interviews, we heard time and again that teachers love their whiteboards,” says Remi Del Mar, Senior Product Manager for K-12 Projectors, Epson America. “They don’t like the idea of giving them up for any reason, even to make room for other technology.”   
That said, “You have all this different content that you want to show from student devices, teacher devices, websites and video, and you want to add your own notes as well.”   
This may explain why we saw dramatic increases in the sales of our <a href="https://epson.com/brightlink-interactive-displays-whiteboard-projectors">BrightLink®  interactive displays</a> in 2020 and 2021.  “It may be that these increases were inflated by the funding schools received during the pandemic, but certainly it indicates a growing  interest in combining a traditional whiteboard with the ability to project digital materials,” Del Mar explains.
In response, we put the BrightLink front and center at ISTE, and we have continued to add capabilities. “The BrightLink has become a massive tablet, offering touch-screen control of an instructor’s computer as well as serving as a display.” Del Mar says.  
Still, the research findings show that educators want even more.
<h2>2. Wireless student connectivity is crucial.   </h2>
“While 1:1 devices are the big new thing in many schools, students aren’t just learning independently,” Del Mar explains. “They’re learning as a group and, within that group, learning from one another. Educators want technology that can support that kind of interaction.”
The missing piece, she says, is wireless connectivity from student devices to the classroom display. It’s true that screen sharing has been around a while, but the research shows that administrators worry about having to add expensive new systems, while teachers want to be sure they retain control over their classrooms and the classroom display.”
In response, we showed our <a href="https://news.epson.com/news/brightlink-goboard-software-wireless-collaboration">Epson GoBoard™ wireless collaboration software</a> at ISTE. GoBoard allows teachers and students to share and annotate content from Chromebook™, Windows®, iOS®, or Android™ devices to the BrightLink, while working in concert with popular video communication tools, such as Google Meet, Zoom and Microsoft Teams, so students at home can easily follow along.1
GoBoard includes a Teacher Console that keeps teachers firmly in control. From their own devices or from the BrightLink, they can connect to up to 35 student devices, accept files from them, share student screen to the BrightLink display, and annotate those screens.  And without leaving the GoBoard platform, teachers can access lesson plans, cloud-based storage, and video communication tools.
“GoBoard really kicks screen sharing up a notch,” Del Mar says. “And the nice thing is, you don’t have to buy any new hardware to use it.”  
<h2>3. Immersive displays and gamification are sparking interest.</h2>
As popular as the BrightLink and GoBoard were at the Epson booth at ISTE, the thing that drew the most attention was a wall-sized immersive display showing game-based learning applications from <a href="https://play-lu.com/">Lü Interactive</a>.
In this setup, attendees could learn math or hygiene skills via multi-player games where they used their whole bodies to compete.
“One big concern we saw was the amount of time kids spend in front of screens,” Del Mar explains. “Teachers, administrators and thought leaders all expressed a concern that, with the proliferation of 1:1 devices, kids are that much more likely to spend too many hours in front of a device.
“There is a notion that kids need to get up and be active, outdoors if possible, but indoors as well. This kind of technology allows them to play games and socialize with other kids while they are in school learning. And it’s based on evidence that the more of your senses you can engage in a learning activity, the more likely you are to remember what you learned.”
It’s part of a trend, Del Mar adds, toward more immersive experiences in theater, art, and entertainment. “Just think of the immersive Van Gogh and Picasso exhibits, which more than five million people have seen. As projectors become lighter, brighter, and less expensive, you have the ability to create these huge images and use them in some remarkably effective ways.”

<h2>4. Better technology training is needed.</h2>
There’s nothing new about training teachers in the use of technology, but the Epson research revealed a strong desire for more.
“As with many things, people, teachers included, have widely different aptitudes in learning about technology,” Del Mar explains. “Our interviews revealed a fairly high level of frustration, not just with the process of learning how to use new devices, but with how to apply them effectively in the classroom.”
In response, we have teamed with training developer Eduscape to create a series of online courses called the <a href="https://www.eduscape.com/epson-brightlink/">BrightLink Academy</a>, which can  be offered onsite at the school or district, virtually or on an individual basis through elearning.  We showed some of this new material at ISTE and it was warmly welcomed, she says.
Eduscape offers five learning packs with a total of 12 courses on using BrightLink and GoBoard technology on its own and with the Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and SMART Lumio, plus seven additional courses on driving engagement, meeting the needs of diverse learners, teaching reading skills, supporting social-emotional growth, teaching in early childhood classrooms, and other crucial topics using interactive technology.
“These courses are teaching teachers and instructional coaches not only how to use our products, but how to create engaging learning experiences using interactive technology,” Del Mar says.  
<h2>5. Projection will continue to be relevant.</h2>
 A final insight from the Epson research is that projectors are likely to stay relevant for many, many years, Del Mar says.
“It’s simple. The amount of content we see on web pages, video communication apps, even PowerPoint screens has continued to grow, and that makes the readability of the classroom display a big concern,” she explains. “A large canvas is very helpful.”
We now offer our BrightLink interactive display in sizes up to 130” diagonal. <a href="https://epson.com/projectors-education">Our classroom laser projectors</a>, with brightness up to 7,000 lumens, can easily handle screens of 400” – 500”.2
The research showed that teachers and administrators also appreciate Epson laser technology.  “Laser projectors are appealing for their simplicity, longevity, consistency, and fast startup,” Del Mar explains.     
In short,  while classrooms have become decentralized, group instruction, and the technology to support it, remains crucial.
Fortunately, Epson is continuing to learn and to innovate.

Zeroing in on the textile market, it’s clear that just like those printing on non-textile materials, the same wants and needs of a printer apply. The reality is that print shops are looking to do more with less staff. Automated features are in high demand to increase uptime without breaking the bank. While the soft signage generated for trade shows, retail, and events bounces back, the added demand for on demand décor and apparel is not waning. Today more than ever textile printers must employ versatility to meet the varied requests of a print provider’s customer base.
<h2>Features in Demand</h2>
Print service providers (PSPs) look for features on their textile printers to help achieve quality work for their clients. These include versatility and productivity at a reasonable cost.
“The most prominent features PSPs request when looking at a new textile printer revolve around ink versatility and image quality with the ability to print onto transfer paper or direct print with one ink set, productivity and capacity with the ability to print sellable quality at higher speeds and meet demanding turnaround times, and finally technology assets that allow for true unattended printing like large ink and media roll capacity, customer replaceable printheads, automated maintenance, and color management tools,” summarizes Joe Dawson, business lead, textiles, HP Inc.
PSPs demand operational excellence from new capital investments, points out Peter Casasanto, business development, Global Imaging Inc., whether it’s textiles or some other type of media. “They are asking, ‘how can we do more with less?.’ We are unarguably in a period of high inflation while at the same time facing a limited labor pool within the printing industry. The best way to offset inflation is through increases in productivity. It can be hard to increase productivity without enough staff.”
Casasanto suggests the best way to achieve higher productivity when printing textiles with fewer people is to eliminate process steps in both print and finishing areas. One way to do this is “via direct printing with true built-in inline sublimation, and inline is in demand in the soft signage world.”
Addressing the demand to do more with less, “it’s important that PSPs have reliable hardware with low maintenance needed. Certain features reduce downtime on the machine, and minimize the need for highly trained staff, making it easy for any operator to consistently produce high-quality, sellable output,” says Tim Check, senior product manager, Professional Imaging, Epson America.
 
<iframe loading="lazy" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Jp-V9jMJvMY" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>
 
John Ingraham, senior marketing specialist dye-sublimation (dye-sub), Canon Solutions America, believes PSPs want to upgrade their older dye-sub printers for systems that offer higher productivity without having to increase their production footprint.
“We’ve seen a large increase in demand to make systems more efficient and cost effective while maintaining or improving the print speed and quality. These were areas of focus pre-pandemic and demand for these types of features has only increased as companies deal with labor shortages and an overall return to full production,” agrees Mike Syverson, textile manager, North America, Durst Image Technology.
Versatility is key no matter what type of printer you chose. “The world of digital textiles is vast with different markets and applications. Whether you are an experienced provider or new to the digital textile market, PSPs are looking for a dye-sub printer that offers them the flexibility to serve as many of these markets as possible with one device,” explains Deborah Hutcheson, director of strategic business development and distribution, Agfa.
“Versatility also plays a key role from a feature standpoint. Having a system that can run paper or direct print equally well is crucial in today’s world as it gives PSPs a choice on the best method of production for a given product,” adds Syverson.
<h2>Needs Change</h2>
While versatility and productivity requirements will always be the norm, the printing industry is at the whim of all that goes in the world. While we could say it’s the natural evolution of things, there are micro/macro forces at play.
“Trade shows, retail, and events are finally picking up after 24 months of the pandemic shutdown. These are three essential areas of opportunity to sell soft signage for PSPs, so the reopening of these large group gathering-type events is very positive. It’s not just about firing up printers that have been relatively dormant for months on end, it is also about bringing back skilled labor and experience to operate the equipment,” notes Casasanto.
Labor issues create challenges up and down the supply chain. “The pandemic accelerated PSPs’ needs to automate and minimize the amount of time operators would have to focus on a given output device. In many cases, the person operating the printer may be running more than one system, taking care of finishing, and even running the company where, pre-pandemic PSPs had sufficient staff for all of these roles,” explains Syverson.
Ecommerce also influences textile printing. “A rapid growth of print on demand (POD) through ecommerce adds new pressures. In 2020 and 2021, there was an explosion of new business all geared toward POD applications focusing on the home décor and personalization markets. These industries by their nature require very streamlined workflows with minimal personal interaction at virtually every level of the production to maintain the tight deadlines and margins,” shares Syverson.
“There is a push for versatility as PSPs launch into new markets like home furnishing and décor, personalized gifting with blankets and pillows, and fast fashion,” agrees Dawson.
With gas prices and other transportation-related fees at an all-time high, the cost of shipping a lighter weight sign/graphic is attractive. “As transportation and labor costs continue to surge, soft signage prints are lighter, require less space to store and transport, and are simple to install,” says Hutcheson.
“With increases in shipping costs and labor shortages everywhere, cost savings are critical. The ability to ship a fabric graphic folded in a box versus on a roll saves shipping cost,” cites Syverson.
Tony Simmering, product manager, Mutoh America, Inc., believes “it’s a natural evolution and the market is just getting more creative. PSPs are starting to learn that sometimes tapping in to different niche markets can be more profitable than trying to reach broadly.”
<h2>Drilldown Specifics</h2>
Besides the aforementioned features, there are other components to textile printers that seem to be all a buzz lately. While these are not specific to textile printers, fabric does benefit from the advancements in technology.
Larger ink tanks, media handing, automated cleaning mechanisms, and remote access are primarily discussed here and maintain a common link. “All of these features provide PSPs with the ability to run longer runs with minimal roll/ink changes and reduced maintenance downtime,” says Ingraham.
Larger Ink Tanks Larger ink tanks offer the capacity to hold more ink, which results in less refill disruptions.
“A big difference with industrial inkjet printers is they do not utilize cartridges, but ink reservoirs. They are designed to be filled on the go without stopping the printer. In this class, ink is usually supplied in five to ten liter containers as the print volumes can be quite significant,” explains Syverson.
Larger ink tanks mean that you are replacing ink and mixing different batches of ink less frequently, saving time. “Ten liter ink tanks are also more cost effective than smaller sizes and it’s important from a reliability and image quality standpoint that the ink be in a self-contained, clean packaging and delivery system, so as not to introduce dirt and debris,” recommends Dawson.
Less operator interference and lower ink prices on bulk systems versus small cartridges are other benefits to larger ink tanks, according to Casasanto.
Media Winding/Unwinding Automation is important for a number of reasons, but perhaps none more so than to eliminate manual error. Systems programmed to control winding and unwinding of media offer this.
“Precision transfer media winding can result in sharper ink transfers and reduced waste by minimizing the amount of paper shifting during the transfer process. With automatic media winding and unwinding unattended printing allows a single operator to manage multiple printers, reducing the overall production costs of the PSP,” says Check.
Roll changes, whether different fabrics being changed out or in the case of a printer that can handle direct and transfer technologies fabric changed to paper and vice versa, equal downtime. Automated media handling eliminates this as it keeps the printer running during the transition. “Additionally, features such as multi-roll loading to stage subsequent supply and take-up rolls dramatically reduces roll changeout times as you can prepare the new roll while the printer is still running,” continues Syverson.
“A heavy-duty fabric take-up system takes the stress away from textile management. Those bolts can be heavy,” stresses Simmering.
Advanced Cleaning Mechanisms Similarly, the care and maintenance of a printer is getting automated and these features are found on textile printers as well.
Automated maintenance is essential in the quest to maximize uptime. For water-based, dye-sub systems Hutcheson notes advanced cleaning mechanisms are important because “water tends to evaporate, hence you need more cleaning to keep the nozzles open. These automatic cleaning systems minimize operator intervention and allow better production yields.”
Advanced features include printhead fabric wiping systems that ensure a pristine surface on the printhead, without involving an operator, and result in consistent print quality day after day. Additionally, systems are available that monitor the printhead nozzle health and automatically compensate or clean the nozzle to ensure high-quality sellable print quality. “These features help to reduce overall maintenance and downtime, and ensure the PSP has a reliable product that continues to produce sellable output,” explains Check.
“Properly designed ink delivery systems are made to run for entire shifts without wasteful ink purges or cleaning cycles as all of these reduce your overall throughput and increase waste,” says Syverson.
Remote Access Last but not least, remote access via smart devices, while important for those on the go is also seeing a surge in use for typically more on-the-floor orientated processes like textile printing.
It’s all about data and leveraging it to the fullest. Remote access provides the “ability to monitor production off-hours and provide daily production feedback for managers,” says Casasanto.
“The trend in today’s market is leaning towards more remote diagnostics and quality control giving users the ability to proactively diagnose and manage systems maintenance with the ultimate goal of maximizing uptime,” explains Hutcheson.
This includes capturing real-time production information for a shop, as well as a dashboard view of notifications, low supplies indicators, or errors that require attention, which can help a PSP better understand their output and return on investment, shares Check.
Cloud operating systems also help manage fleets of the same printers, notes Dawson, so they “clone” the settings of each allowing the output and color to look the same across all devices.
“You can be in a meeting two doors over from the print area and still have the ability to track printer status. I see the future allowing PSPs to send print jobs while on the couch watching TV,” astonishes Simmering.
<h2>Purchasing Power</h2>
A good indicator of popularity is whether textile printers are being purchased. With trade shows back and people venturing out to see devices in person, expect those numbers to continue to grow.
Dawson sees a surge in demand and purchases in the last six to 12 months. He attributes this to many older textile printers that sat idle or were underused during COVID-19. Purchasing a newer device is preferable to investing in expensive maintenance and printhead replacement to get up and running.
“Once the economy started to open up again and we saw events, sports, trade shows, and retail return, many PSPs are choosing to invest in new printer technologies, rather than trying to fix the older equipment. Soft signage for retail point of purchase, sporting events, pillows, blankets, and home décor are all applications in high demand,” admits Dawson.
“Yes, we are seeing an uptick in purchases of textile printers,” agrees Casasanto. “Coming out of the pandemic, trade shows, retail, and events are back and these are the big three for soft signage. For some PSPs who didn’t consider soft signage as their core business, they sold their fabric printers, ultimately reducing the supply in the market, which has been good for those who stuck with it. In addition, ecommerce has taken off and many soft signage customers have branched into new markets, which is helping drive print demand.”
With shipping and supply constraints looming, Check believes a portion of textile product demand has shifted from global to regional providers—resulting in the purchase of more printers. “There has been a growing trend to shift to local production, and the challenges of the pandemic have accelerated the trend.”
At Canon, Ingraham notices “significant interest in ten-foot devices, which can be attributed to the fact that PSPs are looking to invest more into printing larger soft signage, display graphics, and backdrops.”
“Trade shows have largely returned to pre-pandemic numbers and PSPs supporting this market witnessed turnaround. Additionally, retailers are working on large scale fabric rollouts for their display graphics,” adheres Syverson.
In addition to trade show, retail, and event graphics, Simmering sees printers purchased for new niche items like flags and facemasks, in addition to custom fabrics and POD cut-and-sew clothing. Thanks to this variety, “the market appears to be steady and consistent.”
<h2>Referencing Valuable Needs</h2>
Meeting the needs of PSPs, the newest textile printers offer advanced features like automated maintenance, robust media handling, remote access solutions, and more.
