Companies operating in the digital textile printing market are increasingly focusing on technological innovation, such as the development of UVgel printing technology, to strengthen their market position and deliver high-quality, efficient, and versatile printing solutions. UVgel technology is a digital printing method that separates the printing and curing stages, allowing the ink to settle evenly before curing, resulting in smooth surfaces, superior image quality, high performance, and fast drying compared to conventional UV printing methods. For instance, in March 2023, Canon Inc., a Japan-based imaging and industrial products company, launched the Colorado M-series 64-inch roll-to-roll printer. This printer offers dual-speed settings and optional UVgel white ink capabilities, enabling consistent, high-resolution output across a variety of textile applications. Key features include precise color management, rapid drying times, and compatibility with multiple fabric types. Applications range from fashion textiles and soft signage to home décor and customized fabrics, providing benefits such as improved print quality, enhanced operational efficiency, design flexibility, and reliable performance for both short and long production runs.
