The 21st Guangzhou International Textile, Garment and Printing Industry Expo (ITCPE) concluded successfully today after three days. As one of the most influential events in the textile printing sector, the exhibition brought together premium enterprises across the entire industry chain, focusing on material innovation, intelligent manufacturing, and green low-carbon development trends, while showcasing cutting-edge technologies and achievements in textile printing.
HONGSAM made a strong appearance at booth T4016, presenting three core innovative printing solutions. Our company fully demonstrated its latest digital printing technologies and processes, successfully completing its exhibition journey and earning high recognition and widespread respect from the industry.
Addressing Industry Pain Points: Three Innovative Solutions Attract the Spotlight
With the rise of fast-fashion and personalized customization, traditional printing processes are increasingly hindered by low efficiency, poor texture, and insufficient environmental performance. Drawing on over 20 years of expertise in digital inkjet technology and a keen understanding of market needs, HONGSAM showcased three flagship solutions at the expo: the DTG Wet-on-Wet Garment Printing Solution, the Water-based Eco-friendly Latex Ink Printing Solution, and the Full Digital DTF Printing Solution. These targeted offerings address key production challenges and provide an efficient, eco-friendly, all-in-one solution for the textile printing industry’s transformation, yet becoming a major highlight of the show.
1. DTG Wet-on-Wet Garment Printing Solution: Revolutionizing Direct-to-Garment Production
HONGSAM debuted our groundbreaking new RCT Textile Pigment DTG direct printing process at the exhibition — another major breakthrough in the RCT printing technology. The core innovation replaces traditional sprayed pre-treatment with direct inkjet application through the printhead. Powered by the company’s patented “RCT” - Rapid Color Technology, this DTG wet printing solution stood out as a centerpiece of the show.
During the expo, HONGSAM’s Chairman Mr. Qin was invited by the organizers to deliver a presentation speech titled “The True Technology for Eco-Friendly Digital Textile Printing — HONGSAM Water-based Pigment RCT Printing Technology.” In the afternoon of May 20, he provided an in-depth breakdown of the RCT technology’s principles, advantages, and applications, sharing cutting-edge insights with industry peers to support technological advancement.
The summit was hosted by the globally respected textile media outlet WTiN (World Textile Information Network). WTiN had previously featured HONGSAM in a major in-depth report, praising the company’s disruptive innovations in digital pigment printing. The report highlighted how HONGSAM JETEXTILE® textile pigment ink system, supported by revolutionary RCT technology and a global technical service network, has overcome the longstanding issues of high energy consumption and pollution in traditional printing — proving that sustainable digital textile manufacturing can achieve true industrial-scale application across diverse global markets and regions, offering a practical pathway for low-carbon transformation in the textile supply chain.
Unlike conventional DTG dry printing, this wet-on-wet solution eliminates the need for separate spraying of pre-treatment liquid and high-temperature drying. Printing of white and color inks is completed directly on damp fabric, enabling a seamless one-step process from pre-treatment to printing. It delivers three major competitive advantages:
Significant time and space savings: No dedicated pre-treatment spraying workshop is required, greatly simplifying production layout.
Superior color performance: The wet printing process allows simultaneous output of clear, white, and color inks in one pass, preserving maximum white ink purity and color saturation while producing soft, comfortable prints.
Resolution of persistent industry issues: RCT direct printing technology ensures precise control over pre-treatment liquid application matching the pattern size, completely eliminating yellowing, color shifting, and other quality problems that often appear after drying in traditional processes. It also removes other drawbacks of dry printing, such as production bottlenecks caused by drying steps and visible pre-treatment residue on sensitive fabrics, meeting the strict quality standards of high-end clients.
The innovative process drew large crowds of industry professionals who stopped to observe and experience the technological breakthrough firsthand.
2. Full Digital Powderless DTF Printing Solution: Creating a Safer and More Efficient T-shirt Printing Model
The Hong-Jet® Full Digital
no powder DTF Printing Solution impressed visitors with its powder-free process, redefining industry perceptions of film transfer printing. The entire workflow consists of just three steps — printing, drying, and heat pressing — completely eliminating the traditional powder shaking step and preventing dust pollution at the source. It is an ideal solution for modern green factories.
This approach eliminates health risks from dust particles to operators’ breath systems, enabling quiet, smoke-free, and clean production while improving the workshop environment. It also reduces product defects caused by powder contamination, effectively lowering defect rates and increasing yield.
In terms of garment feel, the solution overcomes the common drawbacks of traditional transfer films — thickness and poor breathability. The printed patterns conform naturally to the fabric’s original texture, offering excellent softness and breathability. Suitable for a wide range of fabrics, it balances aesthetics and wearing comfort, perfectly meeting market demand for high-quality apparel.
The full digital powderless DTF Printing equipment exhibited this time received a major upgrade: the company has moved away from traditional separate machines to an integrated printing and drying system. The compact all-in-one unit significantly reduces floor space and makes sea freight and cross-border transportation far more convenient — a true “go-global” advantage tailored for overseas customers.
3. Water-based Eco-friendly Latex Ink Printing Solution: Expanding Boundaries in Premium Leather Printing
Targeting challenges in high-end garment leather printing, HONGSAM introduced the Hong-Jet® Water-based Eco Latex Garment Leather Printing Solution, successfully applying latex inks to premium leather applications. The supporting
JETALL® water-based latex inks have passed SGS and OEKO-TEX® ECO-PASSPORT certifications, ensuring they are eco-friendly and odor-free while meeting stringent safety standards for high-end apparel.
The finished prints demonstrate outstanding performance: excellent crack resistance, vibrant and saturated colors, superior washability and folding durability, and strong dry and wet rub-fastness. Even under extreme stretching, the patterns remain intact. The solution is perfectly suited for high-elastic leather and premium garment leathers, broadening application possibilities in textile printing and injecting new vitality into the high-end leather printing sector.
Deep Commitment to R&D: Building a Comprehensive One-Stop Printing Solution System
