• EPSON Piezo Head Equipped• More than 1,500 units was shipped• Most of them were modified by Partner / End User
• Ironically, MIMAKI improved by themselves ( TX2->TX3) but not warmly accepted
• Opened Market for “Third Party Ink Suppliers”• Ironically, MIMAKI lost Ink Revenue
• Opened Market for “Local Modification Provider”• People learned “IJ Textile Printing Business”

SummarySummary
1. IJ Textile Printing Business is finally taking off1. Market is well cultivated by Entry Models2. Players are increasing / Application is expanding3. Realistic Mid-Range is asked in the main stream ( Apparel / S&D )
2. Best Fitted Technology is required1. Aqueous capable PIEZO Head for industrial use … not for home2. Ink / Pre-, Post- Treatments / Infrastructure should be improved3. Shorter Product Life to be considered4. Printer Manufacturer should take Leadership and well rewarded,
otherwise Motivation for further development would be lost
3. Further Trial & Error1. Consistency or Collaboration ?2. Open or Closed ?
