The firm is exhibiting on the stand of manufacturing partner Neolt (A3/A50), the Italian inkjet specialist. The device can print up to 400 T-shirts per hour, making it a viable alternative to existing volume screen print production.
"Its potential impact is dramatic because it changes the production dynamics and logistics," said Steve Knight, owner of Aeoon partner firm Digital Direct Technologies. "It’s ideal for just-in-time production, repeat orders and sample prints."
The Aeoon One uses Kyocera heads and is fitted with two platens to allow continuous production – while one T-shirt is printing the other can be unloaded/reloaded.
It costs €168,000, with ink at €80/litre. Aeoon said the average ink cost per t-shirt was €0.05.
