Developed in Switzerland, Signracer is constantly tested and improved in our R&D center. All of our new features, inks, and applications are rigorously examined over a six–month period before being released into production. We create system solutions with pre–treatment, priming, printing, and surface coatings that can be integrated into our clients‘ production processes.
GERMANY
In 2019, we relocated to a 600m2 production site in Trier, Germany. This facility is used for assembly, quality assurance, and further personalization of our printers for customers. Thanks to our increased production capacity in Germany, we are able to promise fast, reliable delivery while keeping a sufficient supply of all our machines.
ITALY
At our new R&D and production facility located in Torino, Italy, we specialize in water-based inks with in-line printing solutions with mega rollers, cutters and stackers. Our HydroSpeed printer series is designed for printing on paper while our TEX printer series is tailored for dye-sublimation printing on transfer paper or directly onto fabric.
