NEXT EVENT: Talking Textiles
With the growth of the digital textile printing market accelerating and forecast to quadruple in the next 7 years, now is the time to consider adding this profitable arm to your business. We’ll explore the revenue opportunities for sign makers, digital printers, print service providers and even entrepreneurs looking to set up their own home business in textile printing.
From soft signage to garment apparel to interior décor & wallcoverings – digital textile print is spanning many markets. The demand for personalisation is ever-growing and has become a consumer and business expectation
Whether you’re new to the market or looking to build new revenue streams into your existing services. Join us as we deep dive into the technology available, the processes used and the business opportunities you can harness.
This latest Sign & Digital Online event will include:
9.30am – 9.45am: Networking & Visit Expo Booths
9.45am – 10.00am: Welcome from your hosts Colin Gillman & Jack Gocher
10.00am – 10.30am: Business Perspectives: Phil Oakley, Kornit Digital
What is the size of the garment printing market…S, M, L or XL?
It’s not one size fits all but you can be in on the opportunity.
Phil Oakley of Kornit Digital will present a Market Business Briefing on Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing. He’ll cover workflow requirements and generally how to make the chaotic more organised and the complex more simple.
Phil will also talk about the business opportunities in DTG fulfilment and how Kornit Digital’s workflow customers are part of a growing community. We’ll then take your questions in a Q&A.
10.30am – 10.45am: In the Coffee Bar
Join us in the Coffee Bar where Colin Gilman will be chatting to Colin Marsh, Managing Director of Resolute DTG, a multi-brand inkjet supplier, to provide his insight into the potential in the DTG market and how sign-makers can get involved.

Head over to the Expo booths to see the latest product demonstrations and event offers available or talk with your peers via the Networking area.
10.45am – 11.15am: Technical Session: Phil McMullin and Tom Owers, Epson UK
Business Opportunities in Customisable Products
Phil and Tom will talk about the growth in the market for personalised, high-quality garments and customised gifts and how the pandemic, coupled with the range of dye-sublimation and direct-to-garment printers available, has fuelled the opportunities for print graphics businesses to introduce a new profit-stream or for entrepreneurs to enter the market.
This technical session will take a deep-dive into the technology available from Epson’s SureColor SC-F Series printers, which have been developed in-house and designed to deliver innovation at every level for superior textile, soft signage, interior and promotional printing. So whether you’re interested in an entry-level A4 or 24- inch dye-sub printer that requires no specialist knowledge to set up, a 76-inch large format production printer, a single print DTG printer or production DTG & Direct-to-Fabric printers, Phil and Tom will be on-hand to answer all your questions.

Colin and Magnus come together for a detailed chat about the industry, where it’s heading and RA Smart’s plans for it. They will look at how easy is it to get into producing personalised apparel with a DTG printer and while this is ok for small numbers, how people can get into producing more specialist stuff, such as cycling clothes etc.
12.00pm – 12.30pm: Talking Heads: Grow your business with Textile Print in the Décor & Furnishings markets
Colin and Jack are joined by Garry Brown, YPS and Beth Travers, BoBo1325
