Made in India: LED UV system from SASG UV Solutions

Customer testimonial

We have installed SASG LED UV solutions in July 2018. Its LED UV solutions are functioning well and economical too. We have installed two LED UV lamps from SASG on our new Komori five colour 20x30-inch printing press. SASG provides best after-sales services whenever we require. We went for LED UV solutions because it reduces energy consumption which directly reduces our expenses on power and curing speed is much faster than conventional UV. Right now, we are using the LED UV solution for our requirements in packaging and commercial printing.

Direct-to-garment screen printing machine by Grafica Flextronica

Mumbai-based manufacturer of screen printing machines, Grafica Flextronica, demonstrated its six-colour, 10-pallet direct-to-garment textile screen printing machine along with its flatbed screen printing machines to print transfer stickers and labels during Gartex Texprocess held at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi from 10 to 12 August 2019. 

According to Bhargav Mistry of Grafica Flextronica, while India has to improve a lot in process and standardisation in printing techniques, printers in the garment industry only look towards automation, but do not really work on colour management. “This need improvement,” said Mistry. “Even basic screen-making is also not well organised and needs improvement.”

Explaining the scope of improvement within the textile printing industry, Mistry said, "While importance is given to printing machines, experience and knowledge on textile printing should be given equal importance." He offered a breakdown. “A textile printer should give 40% importance on designing, separation and colour management; 40% on screen-making; 10% on quality inks and 10% on machines and automation,” he said, adding, “However, in today's scenario, 99% importance is given to printing machines.”

Mistry said the main reason is lack of proper education and expertise. “In textile industry, especially in printing, there's a huge demand of skilled labour, but if you look the other way around, there is a huge shortage of skilled labour."

He explained, “If you go to printing factories, you will notice that they really need skilled manpower."

Commenting on the latest trends in textile printing, Mistry said, “Value addition and simplicity in printing is what I see new in textile printing.”
