Stitch & Print International issue 2-2024

In this edition

When this issue appears, a number of trade shows have already taken place and many are still to come. At FESPA 2024 events visitors were given the opportunity to visit four events in one place this time. Sportwear Pro made its successful debut this year.

We also take a look ahead at drupa 2024 in Düsseldorf. Because of Covid-19, the last show dates back to 2016, so by now I think everybody must be really excited to be able to visit again and catch up. This time at the show no less than 17 halls will be filled with printing innovations. For garment decorators, Touchpoint textiles in particular will be interesting to visit. At the show there will be loads of information about sustainability, automation and AI, which is becoming more and more popular.

We also take a look ahead at PRINTING United 2024. At this show, all printers will be brought together again under one roof, providing technology, supplies, education, programming and services.

Because of the popularity of DTG printing, there will be an overview of current DTG printing machines on the market in this issue. Sharon Donovich and Dennis Weißenberg will also inform you about the trends and popular machines for DTG printing.
