Heat Fixation Unit the Built-In Heat Fixation Unit Is Controlled by an Integrated Computer That Ensures That Textile Printing and Heat Fixation Are Synchronized www.dgen.us Teleios Direct Textile Printing & Fixation Speeds up to 409ft²/h at 540dpi, 3pass Evolution? d·gen Teleios Direct Textile Printing & Fixation Revolution! d · gen™ Teleios Print graphics or photographic images directly on textile No transfer paper No large operating space No separate heat transfer process Print directly on polyester fabric just like printing on paper. It's that easy. Inline Workflow With remarkable productivity, the Teleios inline workflow system can produce over 20,000 ft² of flags and banners per day, with only 2 or 3 operators in an operating area of less than 1,600 ft². (With 3 Teleios printers, 1 coater and 1 cutter) Inline Workflow continuous process Stand-alone process PM-180 Teleios HC-200 * The devices shown here, used alone or as part of an in-line workflow process, use the same take-up system and automatic feeder as the Teleios. Each device can sustain the output of 3-4 Teleios printers. d·gen Teleios Direct Textile Printing & Fixation Direct Textile Printing & Fixation d •gen™ Teleios Create eye-catching flags and banners with photorealistic images. Print directly on polyester as easily as printing on paper with the d.gen Teleios digital direct textile printing and fixation machine. ntil now, in order to print photographic images on flags and banners, two separate processes were needed – first printing on paper, then transfering the image from the paper to fabric. So, it was necessary to purchase two machines and to throw away money on U disposable transfer paper! Now, with the Teleios, there is no need for transfer paper, a seperate heat transfer machine, a large operating space, or the difficult and time-consuming process of sublimation! By printing textile flags and banners in one hastle-free step, the compact design of the Teleios saves time, space, and money! Key Features Heat Fixation Unit The built-in heat fixation unit is controlled by an integrated computer that ensures that textile printing and heat fixation are synchronized. The heat fixation unit regulates temperature, printing speed and ink consumption. This in-line workflow enables high quality textile printing and heat fixation in one step with vivid, saturated color that penetrates through to the back of the fabric. Moreover, there is no additional complicated process after printing. Teleios Textile Feeding System The unique patented textile feeding system of the Teleios is the key to the printer’s good runability. This system makes it easy to print on meshes, chiffon and any type of fabric used for flags or banners without buckling or skewing. Increase profits as Ink Tray easy as printing money! Excess ink that may pass through thin or mesh type fabrics is collected in an ink tray below the printing surface. This prevents any ink from coming into contact with and staining the rear side of the fabric. Print on fabric as easily as on paper! Dramatically reduce production costs! Bulk Ink System A built-in Bulk Ink System is included with 4-color (2 liters per color) and 8-color (1 liter per color) Teleios systems. This Print unattended overnight without worry! easy-to-use bulk ink feeding system enables you to refill inks while printing without getting your hands dirty. Save labor costs through high productivity! Fumebuster The fumes generated during the Teleios heat fixation process contain mostly vapor and minimal amounts of oil and dust. When the temperature of the fixation unit decreases, that mixture can liquidize and stain the output. For this reason, Teleios users need a fume buster. Specially tuned for the Teleios, the d.gen Fumebuster absorbs and filters fumes through the use of powerful suction. Most of the filters in the Fumebuster are very economical and can be washed with water and reused. (Some filters need to be replaced every 6 months.) Optional Devices HC-200 (Heat Cutter) The easy-to-use HC-200 uses heat to cut and trim polyester fabric. A position sensor allows precise cutting at speeds of up to 492 liner ft/hr and the user can select the optimal cutting parameters based on the characteristics and thick- ness of the fabric. With 3 blades and 1 take-up unit (max. 5 blades and 2 take-up units optional), the HC-200 can automatically cut 2 or 3 individual strips out of a 74-inch wide roll of fabric. Plus, both edges are neatly trimmed. With its compact design, the HC-200 can be installed in a small space. PM-180 (Coater/Washer) The PM-180 is a compact, easy-to-use, high-speed coating and washing machine specially designed for the Teleios. The machine coats polyester fabric to ensure high quality printing or washes away the residue that results from the heat fixation process. The machine eliminates wrinkles and fabric misalignments, so waste is not a concern. The coated polyester dries instantly and the edges of each side are trimmed out for immediate printing. Take-Up Roller In addition to the standard take-up unit, this optional take-up roller enables allows the user to cut prints without waiting for the entire roll to finish printing.

    EMBROIDERY AS AN EMBELLISHMENT IN FABRIC DECORATION By OLOWOOKERE PETER OLADIPO Department of Fine and Applied Arts, Federal College of Education, Osiele, Abeokuta. Abstract Nigeria is endowed with abundant human, natural and material resources, which could be used in different vocational practices. Practitioners have consistently practiced their art with attention to uniqueness and high quality forms, styles and content. Embroidery as a decorative process in Art has played principal roles in entrepreneurship development. Hence, this paper made a critical analysis of the forms, content and significant of embroidery in art, the thread colours, fabric motifs and pattern suitable for a successful embroidery design would also be considered. The general conclusion is that if embroidery is properly done, it would increase the embroiderers sense of creativity in our societal growth and the interested individual should be encourage to learn the craft so that the tradition will remain forever. Embroidery is an interesting stitching technique by which coloured threads, generally of silk or wool are used with a special needle to make a variety of stitches, and it is used to make an attractive design on garment, wall hanging or upholstery pieces. In Nigeria today, embroidery clothing are used far and wide and its unique feature and elegance remain the ability to trill and appeal to the people’s fervent love for it whereby the artisan considered different textile materials such as guinea brocade, damask and bringing out the significance of thread with which it is worked. Ojo (2000) defined, embroidery as an art of making pattern on textiles, leather, using threads of wool, linen, silk and needle.

It has not seemed desirable to explain in detail the mechanism of the various machines used in modern textile industries, but rather to show the student that the fundamental principles of textile manufacture found in the simple machines of primitive times are unchanged in the highl}^ developed and complicated machinerj^ of to-day. Minor emphasis has been given to certain necessarily technical paragraphs by printing these in type of a smaller size than that used for the body of the text.

    Identifying Woven Textiles 1750–1950 DATS in partnership with the V&A 1 Identifying Woven Textiles 1750–1950 This information pack has been produced to accompany two one-day workshops taught by Katy Wigley (Director, School of Textiles) and Mary Schoeser (Hon. V&A Senior Research Fellow), held at the V&A Clothworkers’ Centre on 19 April and 17 May 2018. The workshops are produced in collaboration between DATS and the V&A. The purpose of the workshops is to enable participants to improve the documentation and interpretation of collections and make them accessible to the widest audience. Participants will have the chance to study objects at first hand to help increase their confidence in identifying woven textile materials and techniques. This information pack is intended as a means of sharing the knowledge communicated in the workshops with colleagues and the wider public and is also intended as a stand-alone guide for basic weave identification.

  • Ancient Indian Texts of Knowledge and Wisdom
    Newsletter Archives www.dollsofindia.com The Saree - The Very Essence of Indian Womanhood Copyright © 2013, DollsofIndia A saree or sari is a long strip of unstitched cloth, which is draped by Indian women – it practically typifies Indian women and showcases the vast diversity of Indian culture as a whole. The word "Sari" is derived from the Sanskrit and the Prakrit (pre-Sanskrit language) root, "Sati", which means, "strip of fabric". Interestingly, the Buddhist Jain works, the Jatakas, describe women’s apparel, called the "Sattika", which could well have been similar to the present-day saree. Another fact is that the end of the saree that hangs downward from the shoulder is called the Pallav. Experts believe that the name came to be during the reign of the Pallavas, the ruling dynasty of ancient Tamilnadu. A saree typically ranges from six to nine yards in length and can be worn in several ways, depending upon the native of the wearer and her outlook on current fashion. Usually, a saree is tucked in at the waist and is then wrapped around the body with pleats in the center, the other end draped loosely over the left shoulder, showing the midriff. This apparel is also popular in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Singapore and Malaysia. This very feminine garment is worn over a petticoat, also referred to as a lehenga in the North, a paavaadai in the South, a parkar or ghaghra in the West and a shaya in the East. It is worn along with a bodice or blouse, called the choli (in North India) or ravikkai (in South India).

  • Realistic Simulation in Virtual Fitting Room Using Physical Properties of Fabrics
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia Computer Science 75 ( 2015 ) 12 – 16 2015 International Conference on Virtual and Augmented Reality in Education Realistic Simulation in Virtual Fitting Room Using Physical Properties of Fabrics Poonpong Boonbrahma,*, Charlee Kaewrata, Salin Boonbrahma † aSchool of Informatics, Walailak University, Nakorn si Thammarat, Thailand 80161 Abstract Virtual Dressing Room (VDR) is the popular topics during the past 10 years and it seemed to have the bright future when Microsoft’s Kinect tracking system appeared in the market. The VDR is not only helping the online customer making decision on buying apparels but also helping customers in department store to save time in waiting for the fitting room. In facts, there are few parts of VDR that make virtual fitting more realistic and tracking the movement of the body is only one of them. The other parts are dealing with the clothing and how they interact with the body even when the customer moves around. The virtual fitting rooms available in the market today and on the website used 2D dresses putting in front of the body. These dresses did not fit on the body and did not interact with the body except they were appeared on the front part of the body. In order to make the simulation process of the virtual fitting room more realistic, 3D virtual dress will be used along with the physical interaction of the fabrics and the environment. In this research, we have to define the shape of the 3D dress and the physical properties of the fabrics. Since the dress did not come as one piece of fabrics but composed of many pieces with different textures and physical properties, for example, some parts is thicker than others or made with different materials, so all these issues have to be taken into account.
