HP Reinvents Dye Sublimation Printing with the Launch of HP Stitch
April 23 2019 - 12:01AM
Highlights:
Today HP announced the new
HP Stitch S series, a
portfolio of digital textile printers that deliver fast, precise
color-matching, alongside efficient, simplified processes. It is
HP’s latest innovation designed to accelerate commercial digital
print adoption.
“Décor and fashion application trends, on demand production and
personalization are boosting digital print growth,” says Santi
Morera, Head of Graphics Solutions Business at HP. “The digitally
printed textiles market is experiencing double-digit annual growth,
forecast to reach $5.5 billion by 2023, according to Smithers Pira.
We look forward to more digital print transformations being
realized with the arrival of the new HP Stitch S series.”
The portfolio of printers couple HP Thermal Inkjet technology
with industry-standard dyes for superior color durability. The
first-ever built-in spectrophotometer enables Stitch’s fast and
exact color-matching. The introduction includes three new printers
from 64-inch to 126-inch wide: the HP Stitch S300 64-in Printer,
the HP Stitch S500 64-in Printer, and the HP Stitch S1000 126-in
Printer.
The HP Stitch S300 Printer holds the first
user-replaceable printhead, resulting in reduced down-times and
service costs. The HP Stitch S300 Printer was designed specifically
for new-to-dye sublimation professionals, prototyping departments,
and growing print providers.
“Our experience with HP Stitch S300 has been much easier and faster
than other dye sub printers we’ve previously used,” says Teunis
Roos, Color Concepts. “Most printers require manual action in terms
of head maintenance and alignment, but the HP Stitch S300 is more
proactive and automated when it comes to performance.”
HP Stitch S500 Printer enables predictable dye
sublimation color and less media waste for production environments.
With symmetrical 2xCMYK printhead configuration and Optical Media
Advance Sensor, this 64-inch printer allows for saturated and
reliable one pass mode for true top speed. The HP Stitch S500
Printer was designed specifically for high production sites.
Key HP Stitch S500 Printer features include:
- Streamlined production
- Big ink supplies, larger rolls, and HP’s Tension-Sensing Winder
allow unattended operations—even overnight, complete with HP
Services and cloud fleet management tools.
- Color you can rely on with HP SmartColor tools
- Confidently distribute jobs across your fleet with color
consistency from printer to printer.
- Cost savings
- Help avoid reprints and media waste with 1200 native dpi
printheads and HP Smart Nozzle Compensation system, saving up to 50
percent floor space with frontal media loading and a spindle-less
system.3
New HP Dye Sublimation PaperHP has also
launched a set of new dye sublimation papers for the new HP Stitch
S Printer series. These papers are designed and tested as a system
