Expected Revolution : Pigment Textile Printing more open now..

Pigment Textile continous printing always dream for Textile printing market. 

However ,due to printheads, chemists there was a lot of limitation.

There is slight differences and revolution just lunched at Sign Istanbul 2013 Exhibition from Turkish manufacturer Eurotechprinters ,printer called Eurotech Moda-SP width of 2.4mt ,equipped Dimatix head with Eurotech own pigment ink.Machine also equipped pretreatment options available.

Pigment printing , Israel based company Kornit is the leading company in there World , and Aeoon from Austria which is not promising with Kyocera head is following the Kornit (incl.patented hardwares)

Eurotechprinters gives more effective production with very low investment cost around 3 times cheaper than Kornig Allegro.

It was big advantage for Turkey Textile Factories with local printer manufacturer.

I recommend Most Textile Pigment Printing lovers to follow Eurotechprinters....

If you think to invest Eco-Solvent printer,

                              BEFORE INVEST ECO-SOLVENT PRINTER,READ THIS !

After the economical crysis reached top level at 2008, All Digital printing market approaches changed.
Today almost 5 years passed away, Still all we are struggling  financials and also price pressure on the market.
However, The demand of Digital Printing on Signage due to printer segmentation is looks like this all over the World.

Printing Segments	Ratio
Solvent Printing	37%
Eco-Solvent Printing	20%
Latex Printing	25%
Water-Based Printing	3%
Textile Soft-Signage Printing	15%

* As reference of 5 different Sign Magazine information,we collected this date. Data has variations upto more less %10 .But picture almost same.

Therefore it seems Solvent Printintg itself Declining compare to last 5 years ago which was aroun 50% however declining of Solvent printing still not fast as expected due to economical issues.

However  the List shows that Eco-Solvent(or Low Solvent) printing increased %50 percent and Latex printing with the push of HP increased from %200 percent on the market.

I will recommend below Eco -Solvent Printer on this blog,

1-Roland Eco-Solvent printer:  Leading printer manufacture from Japan, specially force market with Print and Cut printers so many years. Roland still leading company on eco-solvent printers however the speed of printers are slower than competitor, and Chinese Epson head printer will be real competitior .However Roland is high quality based printers.And Roland printer doesnt require service a lot.


Roland Printer Models are:

Eco-Solvent Printers

• SOLJET PRO III XC-540 54" printer/cutter
• SOLJET PRO III XJ Series 54"/64"/74" printers
• VersaArt RS Series 64" printer
• VersaArt RE-640 64" printer
• VersaCAMM SP-i Series 30"/54" printer/cutters
• SOLJET SJ-1045EX 104" printer

Eco-Solvent  Printers with Metallic & White

• SOLJET PRO III XC-540MT 54" printer/cutter
• VersaCAMM VS Series 30"/54"/64" printer/cutters
• VersaStudio BN-20 20" printer/cutter
• 
  

I dont recomment Eco solvent printers with Metallic&White due to quality issue and high cost of ink.

2. Mimaki Eco Solvent printer:-Another Leading Japanese company, They are very attractive on 2011-2012 . Mimaki opening New Mimaki owned companies many Emerging companies where Mimaki expect high value . Mimaki expand products much faster after they release Print and Cut printer and Mimaki JV5( which is not perfect printer).Mimaki also launched Latex based ink printer which is second printer of the world after HP and also  bring first White Latex ink from Mimaki.

I recommend Mimaki JV3(old model) and mimaki JV33 printer which highly stable .

Mimaki Printer Models are:

• 
  
CJV30 Series 

JV 3 Series

JV5 Series

3.Mutoh Eco Solvent printer- This is also Japanese company called Mutoh,
 they seem not going smooth on business where they close down Mutoh Belgium 
factory and getting smaller  size and also rumoured on market that Epson and Mutoh
 has close relations and relation may end with Mutoh will /may acquire by Epson
 on long run.(rumoured only)

Mutoh printers are not bad but complicated and not stable compare to Roland and 
Mimaki.

4.Seiko printers - Latest Eco solvent(Low Solvent compan)- Seiko Holding is huge 
,including printhead manufacturer and another company is printer manufacturer
 Seiko Infotech.

They had very famous Konica 512MH based Seiko Colorpainter printer with 
14pl printhead which is also OEMed by HP 3-4 years and finalized unsuccesfully 
where only TOYO ink  shoulduse . It was strange that  Seiko used Konica head in
 first pritnter.

Seiko new printer Seiko H series with Seiko 508gs printhead on multicolor option .
It is fast and perfect quality however printer price and ink price is not competition
 with mimaki-Mutoh and rolandwhere they use EPSON head.

5- Eurotechprinters - Mid-size Turkish printer manufacturer where they establish 
Konica 512/1024 14pl oxy -eco odorless solvent printer-Printer price is expensive than
 Roland-Mimaki and Mutoh but size is 3.2m and speed is %50 faster than them.
Ink price 2 times cheaper than others. Quality looks stabil however 

Signage price competition needs low price ink and printer.

You will find more Chinese Printers however Service and Stability is issue ,But they are king of

price .

These are all reality of Market.

Salsa,Jeti, Pre8tor & Gandy Digital ...

Being Pioneer is not easy stuff on the market ,specially signage market. It brings you many things and it gets all your life.


I would like to write this blog about one Pioneer family that they create many products and synergy on market with product quality and marketing power.


I personally met them couple of times,it is Gandy family. Mr.James and Harry Gandy.


Specially James are mainly focus on production and team hard work and created many printers ,Such as Signtech Salsa,it was one of my bad printer ever seen however they sold out many with the great work of Harry Sales power. Harry is one of the great sweattalker and powerful sales person. This was perfect match ,good manufacturer and good sales person.


Salsa was become ERA to Gandy Family because Israel Printer Manufacturer NUR Macroprinters purchased project very good rates.


Then 3 years ,Family and team get rest, but they come very good and Gandinnovations Jeti borned.


It is totally differenct concept and much better printer with James and his team hard work.


They surround all market with Harry Marketing and Sales work..


They installed over 400 units per year.

For this sales ,become more open account to some endusers and when 2008 become economical crysis knocked the door of Gandinnovations ,AGFA become new HERO to get this ..


I dont believe LUCK . HARD WORK creates its own LUCK and Gandy family creates own luck.


Now They become GANDY DIGITAL with Pre8tor UV printer with less active due to World Economical crysis.


But Who knows when these pioneer family become again number one like 3-4 years before?


Like Gandy family,there is similiar printer manufacturer families in the market such as:


- MS Print
- La Mechanica,
- Eurotech Printers (www.eurotechprinters.com)
- Grapo 


They dont have such ambitious that Gandy Family has.


It is not suprise that World %98 percent of Companies are Family oriented companies.


Thanks Gandy Family....We are lucky your are the market...Even you make many good and bad things...
