Given China’s splendid reputation and long tryst with product development, credibility can be attached to the technologies for value-addition developed in the country. Zhejiang-based Wenli was one such innovative exhibitor at the GTE and the centre of attraction at its booth was ZY50/180 heat transfer printing machine. Based on oil media-heating and felt-releasing system, this machine is suitable for printing not just roll-to-roll fabrics but printing garments as well. The machine can print on digital printing paper of 100 GSM at a speed of around 100 m/hour and on gravure printing paper at a speed of 180 m/hour, shares Zili Zhao, Director, Wenli. The piece-wise productivity of the machine is 700 pieces per hour. The distinction of the machine lies in its temperature control feature wherein as the temperature of the table rises during operation; it is controlled by washing after every stroke without stopping the machine. “It is important to control the temperature of the table because the rise affects the quality of the print. This is a brand new innovation in the market pioneered by us,” avers Zili.

Another key attraction at the Wenli booth was the ‘Oval type digital printing machine’ – a part of three-machine series. The LF3000A variants come with DX5 – a PC digital printing head from Epson. The range of heads that can be affixed to the machine varies from four to eight and has an hourly output of 280 pieces for an A4 size print. LF3000B on the other hand comes with an industrial printing head (starfire 1024). While the compatible range of number of heads is the same as LF3000A, it can print 400 pieces an hour. The third model in the range is LF3000C, with the same head of LF3000B. While LF3000C can accommodate at least 4 heads, it can be configured to use a maximum of 12 heads. The productivity rests at 500 pieces per hour.
