HP Stitch S1000 digital textile printer makes its debut at FESPA 2019

HP launched the HP Stitch S1000 at FESPA 2019 this week – the flagship machine in its new portfolio of HP Stitch S Series digital textile printers.

The HP Stitch 64-inch HP Stitch S300 and S500, and the HP Stitch S1000 126-inch device were announced in April.

The HP Stitch S1000 is a 3.2 meter (126-inch) dye sub printer,  ideal for medium and large print service providers to boost production of textile applications in the soft signage market, including backlits, frontlits, and interior décor such as curtains, upholstery, and sofas.

It brings a new level of innovation to high production companies to meet deadlines more easily by enabling fast speeds, high uptime, and unattended shifts. Fully automatic maintenance ensures optimal image quality without user intervention, while saving time with easy media loading and unloading by a single operator.

The new HP Stitch portfolio, including the HP Stitch S300 and S500 printers, introduces dye sublimation ink into HP’s Thermal Inkjet printing technology to meet rising demand for polyester-based textiles for sportswear, fast fashion, home décor and soft signage

“HP’s expansion into the textiles industry solidifies our commitment to making digital printing accessible to all. The new super wide HP Stitch S1000 removes major complexities from dye sub printing, with industry leading technology and high-quality prints at unrivalled speed. The S1000 truly unlocks the power of colour for production environments through smart technology,” says Santi Morera, Head of Graphics Solutions Business at HP.
