Seiko Epson Corporation has announced two new hub sites dedicated to the development of new industrial digital textile products. The Innovation Research Lab, focusing on ink technology R&D, has been created by Epson together with For.Tex. The Printing Research Center, in collaboration with F.lliRobustelli, a major player in production engineering for textile printers and recently acquired by Epson, will aid future development of Epson inkjet core technology dedicated to textile printing.
The two new sites join Epson’s established Textile Solution Center in Como, Italy. With the opening of these facilities, Epson, For.Tex and F.lliRobustelli have realised their vision to create a worldwide hub for the digital textile printing industry based in Italy.
“We are delighted to announce the establishment of the Innovation Research Lab and The Printing Research Center in Como,” said Sunao Murata, chief operating officer, of Epson’s Professional Printing Operations Division. “These state-of-the-art R&D facilities symbolise Epson’s strong commitment to accelerating the development of digital textile inkjet printing both in the Como region and the rest of the world.”
