Textprint Technology The first stage of the printing process is carried out in the creation department, a work group of supreme importance. There, trends are pondered, colours are investigated and various proposals are put together for the client who will work on the colouring in close collaboration with the company staff. As a rule, 8 colour combinations are tested and then samples for prospective garment makers are produced. The samples are made on a conventional printing table with a computerised printing chariot used exclusively for samples preparation. In 1997 about 1000 partners will be produced, that is to say, about 4000 colour combination.
