HOCHSCHULE REUTLINGEN

Textile Printing Lab

The textile printing laboratory is equipped for classic screen printing, transfer printing and digital printing. The production of screen printing stencils and the realisation of prints is possible as simple colour printing, flock printing, foam printing, burn-out or e.g. metallic printing. Digital printers allow the printing of photo-realistic motifs. With a high-precision controllable semi-automatic screen printing machine, defined prints can also be realised, such as those required for the production of so-called electronic textiles. The printing laboratory in particular is a space for interdisciplinary work - designers and technologists use it equally.
