Memjet has announced that MHM, a provider of textile printing equipment, will incorporate Memjet’s DuraFlex technology in its iQ Oval textile printing press.

The partnership is the first textile application for Memjet, creating a garment-printing solution with the speed, quality, and ease-of-use garment manufacturers need to succeed in a changing market.

MHM’s iQ Oval is a modular, safe, and easy to operate direct-to-garment printing press. The modular nature of the machine means it can be configured for almost any production requirement and can be expanded to accommodate for future growth.

DuraFlex is Memjet’s modular single-pass inkjet print solution with enhanced durability, A4 and A3 plus widths in a four-color printhead, a high-speed data path and modules that control all printhead functions, the company said in a press release.

Adding DuraFlex technology to the iQ Oval enables MHM’s customers to navigate changes in the textile market. In this new marketplace, where consumers demand more choices in their garments, garment producers must create more designs and less volume of each design.

By enabling the fast production of small-batch lots, the digital capabilities of the iQ Oval give manufacturers the resources to effectively respond to these trends. Smaller runs can be produced just-in-time, ensuring faster delivery and reduced waste from the production of large quantities of garments that quickly go out of fashion.

MHM has customers that run 24/7 operations all over the world. While many of these businesses want to move to digital printing, their lack of technical expertise or resources makes the digital transition a daunting prospect. The flexibility of the iQ Oval, combined with the long printhead life of the DuraFlex printing technology, ensures these customers can move to digital without worrying about unplanned downtime while waiting for technical support.
