Fairfax, Virginia -- SGIA has added another attraction to its lineup of live demonstration areas on the show floor of SGIA '07 (Orlando, Florida; October 24-27, 2007). The Digital Apparel Production Zone will feature the latest digital technologies for garment decoration. http://www.sgia.org/events/current_expo/sgia07/Expo/attractions.cfm

The new area, which will be located near the Expo's educational workshops, offers attendees a non-sales venue to learn firsthand the lucrative possibilities associated with digital apparel printing.

Industry suppliers and experienced digital garment decorators will provide demonstrations and insight for:

* Direct-to-garment digital inkjet equipment

* Wide-format dye sublimation

* Print-and-cut vinyl

* Bling (rhinestones)

"The opportunity to come, see the technologies in person and talk with garment decorators who have worked with these processes for years will be an invaluable experience for Expo attendees," said Johnny Shell, SGIA's Vice President of Technical Services, adding, "It's all presented in a sales-free environment.”

Participating SGIA member companies include Brother International Corp. (Booth 312), Geo Knight & Co. (Booth 890), iDek USA Inc., Imprintables Warehouse (Booth 1475), Roland DGA Corp. (Gold Sponsor, Booth 2246) and US Screen Print & Inkjet Technology (Platinum Sponsor, Booth 946).
