With Turkey now acknowledged as a rapidly growing area for digital textile printing, global leader Kornit Digital will address the huge market potential for direct-to-garment production by exhibiting at FESPA Eurasia.

To explain and demonstrate the benefits of direct-to-garment systems, the company’s resellers Tetas AS and Pekiz Makina will be in attendance throughout FESPA Eurasia, along with Doga Ipek, Kornit’s Country Manager for Turkey.

Screen-printing companies that want to add digital capabilities to their existing analogue production methods can see the Kornit Paradigm II in action, engineered to work in-line with traditional carousels and oval machines. This versatile system enables complex combinations of screen and digital technology to be created in a single job so that special effects and finishes can be merged with high quality personalisation and variable data.
