Arena Maker highlights the creativity of visual communication

FESPA Digital Printing 2020 innovates and presents for the first time ever an arena 100% focused on the creation of unique items produced with the interaction between thermoplastic and digital printing.
Materials such as Acrylic, PP, PS, glues, adhesive tapes, vinyl and others will come to life and become profitable products.
There will be 4 classes a day, each one teaching how to produce an object from start to finish. Registration is free and can be done through the FESPA Digital Printing 2020 website. Just reminding that the initiative takes place from March 18 to 21 at Expo Center Norte, the stage of the most important digital printing and visual communication event in Brazil.
Arena Maker will showcase machines for gluing, machining, polishing, bending and printing, in addition to supplies such as acrylic sheet, XPS, glue, tape and all the items that are part of the production chain of thermoplastic objects. The FESPA Digital Printing initiative is sponsored by Cristal & Cores, ECNC, Maxfix, Senai, Sinteglas, PH Printers PhotoPro and VP Máquinas.
According to Alexandre Keese, director of FESPA Digital Printing, the Maker expands the range of applications shown at the exhibition: “We strongly believe in the evolution of this niche within visual communication. Our goal is to stimulate the market, by bringing quality content aiming at showing the visitor the huge variety of options the segment has to offer. By integrating thermoplastic and printing, the entrepreneur will be able to add more value and offer additional sales options to his customers.”

The importance of ink for large format printers
Ink is crucial for large format inkjet printers, influencing substrate compatibility, productivity, and cost. Nessan Cleary discusses the three main types which include UV-curable ink, latex ink and eco-solvent ink. Each ink type has specific strengths and weaknesses, making printers choice dependent on budget and intended applications.

What are the benefits of Direct-To-Fabric printing?
Direct-to-fabric printing is gaining popularity for high-volume textile production, enabling on-demand, customized short runs. These printers offer ink flexibility, accommodating various fabric types like cotton and silk, though ink development focuses on faster turnaround by reducing pre- and post-processing. Compared to traditional methods, direct-to-fabric inkjet printing is a more sustainable option due to reduced water and chemical usage, and localized production.

What are the opportunities for large format providers regarding digital touch screens?
Digital touchscreens are becoming increasingly common, offering businesses opportunities to improve customer engagement and streamline operations. Nessan Cleary shares, while more expensive to implement than standard digital displays due to complex software and integration needs, touchscreens provide self-service options, multilingual support, and can reduce staffing costs in various settings like retail, transportation, and healthcare.
