    Really??? What are you printing on textile via offset press right now? And what press are you running?
    Very curious. I would be shocked if textile was .01% of the offset market. Maybe I just don't know.

    I also think textile is popular,on many fairs the textile printer take more and more percentage. but why the textile still did not sell well? the market is still small.

    I also think textile is popular! Recently, I was looking for a textile material that I can print on with solvent inks and I stumbled upon a material called Veilish. It’s a self-adhesive material that is made of fabric. I did some printing tests with solvent on the Veilish and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of printed images. The media is semi-transparent, so the printed image can be seen on both sides. I saw that it has a certificate for HP latex printers, so I might do some other printing tests. I already recommended it to my clients.
