Samples will be shown and discussed, as well as suggestions and caveats to consider in the production environment.
Thursday, Nov. 5, 2015 at 12 pm noon: Aurora’s Christian Smith will discuss how to Shed the Fear & Join the Fabric Revolution: In this discussion, Smith will review common misconceptions related to printing on textile products. As the digital printing industry continues to grow at a rapid pace, more and more companies are drifting away from the traditional vinyl or banner applications typically used for POP, event signage and interior décor products, among others. This presentation looks at these ongoing trends, and reviews the knowledge attendees will need in order to put their company at the forefront of this digital revolution. Smith is Aurora’s South Central Region Print Media Account Manager.
In addition, Shaneyfelt will be a featured speaker at an 11 am fabric industry panel on Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2015 that will also take place in SGIA’s Digital Textile Zone.
