MagnaColours® Get Ready For ISS Long Beach

BARNSLEY, England — January 4, 2018 — Manufacturers of water-based screen-printing inks, MagnaColours® are pleased to announce that they will be exhibiting once again at ISS Long Beach 2018. The event, which will take place from 19th to 21st of January brings together industry-leading brands, screen-printers, distributors and manufacturers.

At the event, MagnaColours® will be demonstrating how to get the best results from their innovative product range, with live printing demonstrations on their stand. In addition to this, Magna Colours® will be making some exciting announcements, launching their revolutionary new wet-on-dry ink, EDGE, that is set to transform all preconceptions of water-based inks, and unveiling their new Make the Switch programme.

Over the past four decades, MagnaColours® have been at the forefront of screen-printing, developing new products and technologies in their MagnaLab. They have worked hard to dispel the myth that plastisol inks perform better than water-based inks by encouraging screen-printers to make the move to using these greener, more sustainable alternatives. The Make the Switch programme is designed to hand-hold printers through the transition into printing with water-based inks.

Helen Parry, Managing Director at Magna said: “ISS is a fantastic event, which brings together the industry. At Magna, we embrace this as an opportunity to showcase our comprehensive product range, and celebrate the advances of water-based inks in recent years. 2018 is set to be an exciting year for Magna, so at this year’s ISS event, we’re looking forward to unveiling new products, and launching our Make the Switch programme, so we’ll be welcoming industry leaders to our stand to see just what our inks are capable of.”

“For many years, we’ve been making strides in water-based inks and helping screen-printers to embrace these products, in place of harmful counterparts. As the demand for sustainability from leading brands intensifies, printers need to respond to this. Our Make the Switch programme demonstrates our commitment to guiding customers through the transition to water-based inks and is designed to tailor the level of support to the printer’s individual requirements and desired timescales. Water-based inks provide the perfect sustainable alternative to plastisol-based products.”

MagnaColours® strives to provide environmentally friendly water-based alternatives to widely used toxic inks traditionally used in the screen-printing industry. At last year’s ISS event, MagnaColours® launched their education programme, MagnaAcademy® and their stringent industry standard, GNA® as part of their efforts to raise awareness of the multiple benefits of water-based inks and to advise printers on how to get the very best results from the MagnaPrint® range.

HOSYcan: Device For Testing Compression Garments During Movement

BÖNNIGHEIM, Germany — January 4, 2018 — To deliver increased information of greater accuracy regarding the compression of textiles for various functions, Hohenstein Group has developed the next generation of its compression testing device, HOSYcan. HOSYcan allows for accurate compression measurements during movement and measures the interaction between different materials. Combined with data from 3D scanning, simulated movement profiles provide increased accuracy for specific applications.

Compression garments constitute a high-growth technology in the sport, leisure
and medical sectors, performing different functions depending on the application. Compression garments generally come with a defined level of compression. Until now, however, these values were inaccurate when measuring compression levels during movement. What’s more, interaction between different materials has unpredictable effects on compression. With the further development of the HOSYcan, the Hohenstein Group is the only provider of a solution with objective measurement values as well as analysis for compression garment product development.

“Compression garments are so challenging that the various influences on the level
of compression are often not clearly or precisely measurable,” said Florian Girmond, Hohenstein Group Director Consumer Tests. “HOSYcan lets us simulate movement sequences for the first time. In doing so, the actual pressure on different parts of the body can be determined even in extreme situations.” The device, which can measure circumferences of up to 150 cm, can be individually adjusted and programmed. Body measurements compiled at Hohenstein using cutting-edge 3D scanner technology can be used as a base data set in customizing movement profiles.

The advantages of the new HOSYcan device for manufacturers of compression materials for shaping and compression garments:

  • With HOSYcan, the interaction between individual materials in compression garments can be tested and analyzed in a simple and cost-effective way—both in static and dynamic conditions. In this way, HOSYcan delivers important performance data in relation to the desired product properties. The simulation of both dynamic and static testing scenarios, as well as a combination of the two, is achieved without difficulty, allowing testing situations very close to the practical application.
  • The new compression testing device enables product development to be carried out in an improved, application-specific way in terms of material selection and product design. The modification of individual components can be extensively and individually tested.
  • The whole HOSYcan package can shorten development time with innovative comparison and visualization techniques. 
The database software features a modern user and reporting interface, which provides diverse parameter variations, filter functions and duplicating functions, enabling
more efficient order processing. The measurement results are reported in the form of statistics and graphics and then made available to the customer. 
At the Outdoor Retailer show (January 25 to 28 in Denver, USA), interested parties have the chance learn the range of uses and versatile applications of the new HOSYcan device in the Hohenstein Group booth #30077-UL. For further information or individual questions, our team is also happy to help you at any time.

Nordstrom To Begin Hiring Employees For New NYC Men’s Store

SEATTLE — January 2, 2018 — Fashion retailer Nordstrom Inc. will hire 250 employees for its first stand-alone Men’s Store in Manhattan, which will open on Broadway between West 57th and West 58th Streets in April 2018.

Sales and support positions will be posted on Wednesday, January 3 and interested applicants are invited to apply for jobs online at careers.nordstrom.com. The retailer also announced Cailin Caro, as store manager of the NYC Men’s Store, and company veteran Chris Wanlass, as vice president of its Manhattan full-line stores.

“This is an exciting and historic time to be a part of Nordstrom as we prepare to open our first full-line store in one of the best retail cities in the world,” said Caro. “We’re building an empowered team of people focused on service and providing customers with an elevated experience that reflects the best of what we have to offer.”

Sales positions are available in all areas, including men’s apparel, designer, furnishings, shoes and grooming. Hiring will also take place for various support positions in building services, housekeeping, loss prevention, as well as jobs in the store’s food offerings. Nordstrom offers employees a competitive benefits package including a retail discount, medical coverage, 401(k), commuter benefits (up to $100 a month towards transit elections) and paid parental leave. New hires will participate in extensive product-knowledge seminars, selling immersion and a day of shadowing at one of the neighboring full-line stores.

To promote the start of employee hiring, the retailer wrapped the exterior of its Men’s Store with larger-than-life ‘help wanted’ banners incorporating witty job descriptions like “Desperately Seeking Sock Svengali,” “Now Hiring: Sneaker Obsessives,” and “People People Wanted.” The recruiting campaign also includes digital and social media placements.

“Nordstrom is a great place to build your career, something I’ve been fortunate to have experienced firsthand over the course of my 25 years with the company,” said Wanlass. Adding that he and Caro are “committed to creating an environment that fosters career development and growth opportunities, not only within our Manhattan stores, but the company as a whole.”

Wanlass began his career in 1992 as a stockperson at Nordstrom Fashion Place in Salt Lake City, Utah. He relocated to Atlanta in 1997 to open the company’s first store in the southern U.S. at Perimeter Mall as a department manager. In 1999, Wanlass made the move to Seattle, where he worked as an assistant buyer and then buyer in the men’s division. Relocating again in 2003, he accepted a new challenge as the Assistant Store Manager of the Downtown San Francisco store. Over the past 10 years, Wanlass has been the store manager at Stonestown (San Francisco), The Westchester (White Plains, N.Y.), Arden Fair (Sacramento, Calif.), Bellevue Square (Bellevue, Wash.), and most recently Pacific Centre (Vancouver, B.C.).

Caro joined the company as a seasonal salesperson in Lingerie in 2006 at the Nordstrom Downtown Seattle flagship store, and then went on to hold various store and regional management positions in the Lingerie division in Oregon, California and Washington D.C.
