Latest Target Report Analysis: EFI Walks Down the 'Digital Fashion' Runway
Digital printing of textiles takes center stage as EFI stakes out a leadership position with its acquisition of Reggiani Macchine, the highly specialized Italian manufacturer of textile printing equipment. In addition to the acquired company’s more traditional rotary and flatbed screen printing devices, Reggiani produces a line of industrial digital inkjet machines that are bringing the digital revolution to the world of fashion and fabrics.
With EFI’s expertise in front-end image processing and color management technology, can it be too long before consumers can order completely customized digitally printed wardrobes?
