The Delta Group Adds Its Third EFI Single-Pass Printer for Display Graphics

DÜSSELDORF, Germany — June 3, 2024 — Electronics For Imaging Inc. (EFI), today reported that England-based The Delta Group has acquired its third EFI™ Nozomi press, an EFI Nozomi 14000 SD single-pass printer for sign and display. This printer adds to two previous Nozomi acquisitions, a Nozomi C18000 printer for corrugated and a Nozomi 18000+ LED printer for sign and display, rounding out its high-volume digital production capability which will help them finish their migration from offset to digital. The EFI Nozomi 14000 SD printer was designed to specifically meet the needs of the sign and display graphics market, giving users the opportunity to significantly improve speed to market and increase profitability with a wide range of substrates and brilliant colour quality. Visitors to drupa can view the Nozomi 14000 SD printer at EFI’s booth, located in Hall 9, Stand A20-1 at the show.

The privately owned The Delta Group, in business for more than 35 years, is an end-to-end visual communications solutions provider predominantly serving the retail industry. Headquartered in Waltham Cross, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom, the company has four other locations around the UK, including in Dublin, Ireland. With 680 staff and revenue just north of £100 million, the company offers a wide range of services, from creative, to manufacturing, installation, digital signage and more. The company is in the final stages of opening a new, highly sustainable facility which will replace the current hub centre.

The Delta Group was the first company in the England to install a Nozomi press. “Once we have made the transition to our new facility,” said Martin Shipp, the group’s chief operating officer, “I believe we will be the first company in the world to have three Nozomis under one roof.”

Less space, more throughput, with maximum efficiency and speed

“With our distributed platform, we receive orders centrally and distribute them to the site best suited for the type of work required,” explained Shipp. “Meeting the customer’s requested delivery date is paramount to us.

“In our main facility,” Shipp said, “we had 13 flatbeds running, and each flatbed requires a space the size of a tennis court to have sufficient working space around it. But with the Nozomis being up to five or six times faster than even the fastest multi-pass machines, we have been able to reduce our flatbed footprint down to about five across our network.”

Shipp explained that the company has an efficient workflow in place, including customer-facing portals, and many jobs run through automatically where the first human touch is taking the prints off the back end of the printer, with some 500 orders per day being printed in this way. He also noted that whereas in the past, the company would produce overruns of a dozen or more in case some sheets had defects. Thanks to the inline quality control cameras on the Nozomi printers, he said, they now only run one or two sheets over.

Key drivers for The Delta Group in shifting from offset and flatbeds to Nozomi printers were the shortened turn times and run lengths. Shipp explained, “Historically, retailers would order run lengths of 3,000 or more, suitable for offset. But now, instead of campaigns having five different items with a couple thousand of each, we are more commonly seeing campaigns that contain 250 different items with an order quantity of 500-ish each. So, it has really pushed the transition from analogue to digital for the group.”

Shipp and his team first saw the Nozomi printer in Spain after seeing the technology reviewed in the trade press. “That’s where we started, and over the years, we have realized that Nozomi is clearly the most reliable press we have ever owned. Downtime is extremely minimal, and we get great remote support from Spain. We are now producing more than five million square metres on each one of the Nozomis each year with virtually no downtime.”

The EFI Nozomi 14000 SD is on display at EFI’s drupa stand, Hall 9, Stand A20-1.

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Announces BAM-1 Spider Silk Hybrids Are In Production

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — June 3, 2024 — Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Inc. announced today that Kraig Labs is now in production with its BAM-1 recombinant spider silk hybrids. The company originally planned this launch for July, but the resounding successes of the production trials positioned Kraig Labs to accelerate its 2024 production schedule.

This production cycle serves as a critical transition for the company’s commercialization of sustainable and cost-effective spider silk production. This announcement marks the company’s first transition of true production hybrids to the manufacturing environment. This rearing cycle also represents more than a 10X increase in production over the spring trials and is the largest single batch of spider silk production in the company’s operating history.

The BAM-1 hybrids exhibited an excellent hatching yield and continue to show strong and uniform growth. The company’s team has been closely monitoring their health and is proud to report that, just like the spring trials, it has not observed any sign of disease or weakness within the colony.

The BAM-1 hybrids were created by integrating the company’s recombinant spider silk technology, Dragon Silk™, into two robust commercial silkworm strains. These two silkworm strains created the parental lines that, when combined, produce the BAM-1 hybrids. The BAM-1 hybrids result in the largest cocoons and most robust silkworms Kraig Labs has produced. This, in turn, results in higher silk yield and improved production efficiency, while maintaining fiber material performance, as the company scales up its spider silk production operations.

“This successful launch of the BAM-1 hybrids is the result of more than a year of focused development by our team. The spring production trials demonstrated that we have brought together the right team, the right technology, and the right facilities to make 2024 a breakout year for the commercialization of spider silk,” said Founder and CEO of Kraig Labs Kim Thompson. “This cycle puts us securely on the path to reaching our first production milestone of a metric ton of spider silk.”

Over the coming weeks, the company will provide additional updates on this production cycle and its plans for continued production growth and end-market developments.

The Atmosphere Washing Revolution Hits Denim PV

VALENCIA, Spain — June 3, 2024 — Jeanologia will make its presence felt at the upcoming Denim PV Milan edition, slated for June 5-6 in the heart of Italian fashion. At this landmark event, the Spanish company, a global leader in sustainable textile technology, will present its groundbreaking atmospheric washing process ATMOS, promising to revolutionize the denim industry by offering an eco-efficient alternative to traditional stone washing. The unveiling of ATMOS in Milan holds particular significance amidst the resurgence of Italian denim, with the country’s textile industry redefining its standards towards sustainability and luxury.

The ATMOS process, fueled by the innovative INDRA system and G2 technology, marks a true breakthrough in denim garment finishing by leveraging only atmospheric elements, dispensing with water and pumice stone. This pioneering technical approach not only ensures a drastic reduction in the consumption of natural resources, with up to 96 percent less water usage, but also eliminates the use of abrasive materials associated with negative environmental impacts, ensuring the quality and durability of garments.

Traditional stone washing entails significant water consumption during the washing, wearing, rinsing, and cleaning stages, using between 80 and 100 liters of water per 200 kg of garments and requiring additional detergents and chemicals to remove pumice stone residues. In contrast, Jeanologia has successfully reduce water usage to only 1 liter per garment, by leveraging a combination of the ATMOS process and other proprietary technologies, including, eFlow technologies, which utilizes nanobubbles to apply performance chemicals and the revolutionary H2 Zero a water recuperation system, guarantee a perfect close loop. This approach not only eliminates the need for extensive rinsing and chemical use but also reduces resource consumption and facilitates wastewater management, thereby promoting a cleaner and more efficient water treatment cycle.

These attributes enable to garner a high rating on the EIM assessment scale. Jeanologia’s environmental impact measurement software in textile garment production, widely adopted by leading brands and retailers worldwide. Denim garments aged through G2 Ozone & INDRA attain ‘green EIM score’, ensuring compliance with global sustainability standards throughout the production chain, classifying processes based on water, energy, chemicals consumption, and worker health.

Jeanologia is set to present the ‘Atmos Vintage’ collection at Denim PV, featuring a ‘stone wash’ inspired looks created using the ATMOS process. This capsule collection is designed to inspire all European brands and garment manufacturers with its cutting-edge approach. By showcasing it in Milan, Jeanologia seeks to engage the Italian market in responsible textile production, significantly reducing water usage and eliminating the need for stones and chemicals, all while preserving the authenticity and beauty of the garments.

Propelling Italy into a new era of sustainable luxury denim

The Italian textile industry, renowned globally for its quality and design, has undergone significant transformation in recent years, especially in the denim sector, which has evolved into a benchmark for the luxury market. Italian factories have adapted their processes to meet the demand for high-end denim products, incorporating new designs and applications of these fabrics not only in garments, but also in footwear, and accessories.

Mindful of this evolution, Jeanologia has bolstered its presence in Italy, forging close collaborations with the country’s leading fashion brands. The company has emerged as a key ally in implementing technologies that enhance the quality of the final product and production efficiency, while markedly reducing the environmental impact of textile processes.

“Italy has always been a beacon in fashion and sustainability, and its denim industry has repositioned itself in recent years towards the luxury market,” notes Stefano Tessarolo, Jeanologia’s Sales Manager in Italy. “ATMOS not only aligns with this new positioning but also propels Italy towards a new era of sustainable and responsible denim fashion.”

Committed to leading the charge towards more sustainable practices in the fashion industry, Jeanologia views ATMOS as a tangible manifestation of this commitment. Through Denim PV Milan as a platform, the Spanish company seeks to inspire other entities in the industry to embrace eco-efficient technologies and collaborate towards building a more sustainable future for fashion.

With a current capacity to process up to 50 million jeans, Jeanologia anticipates an exponential uptake of this technological process in the coming years, catalyzing a fundamental shift towards responsible fashion.

The program invited students from North Carolina State University’s Wilson College of Textiles to explore textile production sites in Vietnam.

This summer tour program systems from an industry-academia collaboration established between Hansae and Wilson College of Textiles at North Carolina State University in 2019. To recruit participants, Hansae actively engaged at the 2024 Wilson College of Textiles Spring Career Fair held in February. Following a paper screening and video interview process, the company selected the eight finalists.

On May 14, the eight students began their exploration with a visit to Hansae’s headquarters in Seoul before departing for Vietnam. From May 15-17, they immersed themselves in the operations of Hansae’s Vietnamese production plant, known for its advanced automation technology.

At C&T VINA, Hansae’s fabric subsidiary, the students gained firsthand experience with clothing production technologies, including fabric knitting, dyeing, and printing. They also explored diverse systems like biomass boiler systems and reverse osmosis systems. Since acquiring the Vietnamese dyeing factory C&T VINA in 2013, Hansae established ‘COLOR & TOUCH’ in 2014, achieving vertical integration encompassing dyeing, processing, fabric brokerage, sewing, and manufacturing.

Afterwards, the students were exposed to an advanced manufacturing environment driven by IT technology at the Hansae Vietnam TG factory. They experienced the clothing production automation system, hanger line system, Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV), and HAMS 2.0, a cutting-edge smart tech system.
