We have always printed silk using screens, one for each colour in the design. This new machine will enable us, when appropriate, to print directly from a computer onto specially coated silk. This print method is suited particularly to multi-coloured and photographic type designs.
This T5 textile belt machine finally arrived by ship from Hong Kong a couple of days ago and by 2pm yesterday was being unloaded at Beckford.
We start to unpack the crate and then try and work out which way round it is!
Steve our builder has already taken down a couple of internal walls, removed two double doors and had to cut into the brick work so that we can get the machine in.
The machine weighs about 900kg so it takes a few of the guys to start manoeuvring it into the building
After quite a struggle they get it into the building
And there it is! It's taken three hours to get it into place but the new technology HAS LANDED!!
Now it's down to my brother Robbie to get it to work!
