Exploring emerging trends
On Tuesday, 13 October 2020 at 15:00 CEST, Paul Willems, Head of Product Management and Business Development at Roland DG EMEA, will speak at the panel discussion “Printed interiors: an untapped opportunity? He will explain that the explosive growth in this category, the high margins and the comparatively good resilience to Covid-19 make it an attractive diversification opportunity for printers.
His presentation on Wednesday 14 October 2020 at 15:30 CEST will be entitled “Printing fashion and apparel: finally doing it yourself? Joe Wigzell, Academy Manager at Roland DG EMEA, will talk about the need to bring back the production of textiles from overseas – at least close to home or even in your own country. He also looks at the impact of such a change on the industry, its efficiency and long-term prospects.
Stephen Davis, EMEA Marketing Director at Roland DG, points out: “In the past 12 to 18 months, we have invested massively in innovative new products. With them, we are addressing a previously unmet need that we have identified among interior and textile printers. We look forward to sharing insights and views on how these two categories are developing on our platform at the “FuturePrint Virtual Summit”. Of course we also want to focus on our new EJ-640 DECO and XT-640S-DTG, which we launched earlier this year.
