AATCC symposium to focus on green and global textile printing
The American Association of Textile Chemicals and Colorists (AATCC) is to hold a symposium on ‘Innovative Textile Printing: Green and Global’ in North Carolina from September 17-19.
The symposium will examine innovative approaches for textile printing and provide insight into the development and production of textile prints within the global supply chain.
Digital textile printing will be highlighted as both an established solution for product development and an emerging opportunity for production printing of yard goods as well as finished garments.
The symposium will also address the issue of sustainability and feature information about the need to develop printed textile products with environmental considerations in mind.
On September 19, participants will have the opportunity to visit Cotton Incorporated for a tour of its digital print and textile processing areas.
The tour will then proceed to [TC]2, where visitors will be given insight into 3D technologies for product development and the integration of digital printing into the sewn product manufacturing environment.
