Premier Digital Textiles’ Elen Hughes reflects on an inspirational global event in Berlin.
The FESPA Global Print Expo convened the international print industry to discuss the future of the sector.
An invigorated 2025 event focussed on screen, digital, large format and textile printing.
It took place May 6–9 at Messe Berlin and also covered sustainability, personalisation, innovation, fostering a strong sense of community and collaboration.
Toby Lunn and Mitesh Patel of Premier Digital Textiles, along with myself, attended.
Our objectives were to connect with partners, discover the latest industry advancements and introduce our innovative PrepRITE™ fabric range.
PrepRITE™ – an industry milestone
The PrepRITE™ fabrics were showcased at live demonstrations in collaboration with industry OEMs such as EPSON, Mimaki, Klieverik, Monti Antonio, HP and d.gen.
These demos highlighted the ability of PrepRITE™ fabrics to improve print quality across various ink technologies, including sublimation, pigment and latex.
The launch of the PrepRITE™ fabrics collection marks an exciting milestone for Premier Digital Textiles and the industry.
The range is designed for markets ranging from home furnishings and interiors to apparel and personalisation.
And offers various weaves, weights, constructions and compositions, all designed to help transform creative concepts into exceptional printed products.
Its proven compatibility with a wide array of OEM printers makes it a go-to solution for businesses seeking consistency and quality as well as excellent print results.
Insight and inspiration
Beyond the technology, what truly stood out at FESPA 2025 was the collaborative energy.
Premier Digital’s presence across multiple OEM booths reflected not only strong partnerships but also a shared commitment to driving textile printing forward.
A huge thank-you to our OEM partners for showcasing what’s possible when innovation meets quality fabric preparation.
In summary, FESPA 2025 delivered innovation, insight and inspiration.
It served as a key platform for professional development and for reconnecting.
And it was a chance for the industry to reconnect, recharge and reimagine what’s possible in a rapidly evolving market.
We look forward to continuing the conversation in 2026 – Barcelona, here we come!
