WELCOME TO TODAYS PODCAST BROUGHT TO YOU VIA PI APPAREL AS THE HOST FOR THIS INSIGHTFUL CONVERSATION DISCUSSING “ THE DIGITAL REVOLUTION DRIVING SUSTAINABILITY IN TEXTILES”.
The Textile sector faces a seismic reform, and to do so it must adapt and evolve to become sustainable. Within the textile supply chain there are great many suppliers - connecting them together requires technology if we are to truly begin the journey to a sustainable future.

This podcast was created on behalf of AVA CAD CAM LTD whos software provides the essential link between the creative and the printer whether that’s digital or analogue. Controlling the creative workflow is paramount, how we originate designs must relate to the printed output regardless of technology. This process is managed from design to production using AVA’s suite of software tools.

All of which offer the user the tools to create designs, colour separate, control colour management, prepare print files, generate machine profiles and reduce waste. Used together they have the power to perfect the many imperfections in the current production supply chain for textiles.
