Print specialist YR Store has collaborated with Japanese streetwear brand ‘A Bathing Ape’ to launch a pop-up within Selfridges on London’s Oxford Street where customers can design their own personalised T-shirts printed on Epson SureColor direct-to-garment printers.

Epson renewed its partnership with fashion designer Kansai Yamamoto to support the ‘Hello Istanbul!’ fashion show this year. The company printed out 15 of Yamamoto's creations for the event. It spent four weeks reproducing the designs with specialist Genesta inks on the Monna Lisa textile printing system developed by Robustelli of Italy and using Epson's inkjet, and on Epson's SureColor F7100 series and SureColor FP-30160 textile printers. 

When Heathrow Airport commissioned Creative Triangle to design and install an induction room for all new operational employees, the company turned to Sign Away to print carpet with an aerial view of the airport on which moveable 3D buildings (terminals, control tower etc) and props (airplanes etc) could be sited.

Sign Away put down two layers of ink into the carpet and cured the ink twice with the printer’s UV lamps to give the print more longevity.

This suspended fabric ceiling at the Bullring in Birmingham was produced by PressOn for client Limited Space.

The 7.2m wide by 16.1m long ceiling panel, printed on Polyester, is an irregular shape and was printed in sections and stitched together. It is held in place by a wire tension system that attaches to the mezzanine floor. From brief to installation the job took four weeks and this involved sample sign off and print quality and texture sign off. The campaign also included lift doors and ceiling banners.

Epson teamed up with fashion designer Kansai Yamamoto for the V&A’s recent exhibition ‘Fashion in Motion: Kansai Yamamoto’. The company printed around 30 of Yamamoto’s designs on its digital textile printers amounting to more than 1,000m2 of textiles including cotton, polyester and silk.

Digital textile printing solutions developer Sawgrass collaborated with L’Esperance Design, an interior design firm, to produce custom wall coverings for the Grand Entry at Greystone Mansion during November as part of the Design House International showcase.

L’Esperance Design recreated the wall covering found in the historic 18th century Italian estate Tenuta Berroni in Tenuta, Italy, then partnered with Sawgrass to digitally print the design using Sawgrass M-XTR pigment inks and specialty finished fabrics.
