Specialty Graphic Imaging Association’s (SGIA’s) inaugural WB/Camp is open for registration.

The event is sponsored by Bella + Canvas, Douthitt Corporation, Ink Kitchen, SGIA, and Threadx.

The event which will be hosted by Motion Textile in Sacremento, Calif., from Sept. 20 to 21 will feature expert-led educational sessions and live demonstrations in a production environment. 

WB/Camp’s first day will include a lineup of industry leaders, including experts from Matsui and Virus Inks discussing different water-based ink types, fabric considerations, variables and the requirements to control them, art preparation practices, technology integration, and more. Attendees will then see these concepts in action on day two in the Motion Textile production facility, where multiple manual and automatic press demonstrations will illustrate a variety of printing techniques and essential press parameters. 

“Water-based printing is no longer optional for the modern decorator—it’s a requirement,” said Motion Textile’s founder Tom Davenport. “It not only expands your decoration capabilities, but also your potential clientele, and WB/Camp is a chance to experience water-based printing in a different way.”
