Barron Boosts Sublimation Printing Capabilities with HP Stitch S1000
Barron, a leading Johannesburg-based provider of printed garments, has enhanced its fabric and textile sublimation printing services with the addition of an HP Stitch S1000. Capable of printing up to 3.2 meters wide at a top speed of 220sqm/hr, this advanced machine is helping Barron expand its soft signage offerings and meet growing demand.
A Legacy of Quality and Innovation
For over 30 years, Barron has been delivering high-quality apparel and workwear to the South African market, while also catering to the display, gifts, and bags sectors. Recently, the company has seen a surge in demand for soft signage solutions, prompting an investment in state-of-the-art technology to enhance its service capabilities.
Meeting Growing Demand
Recognizing the limitations of its existing equipment in handling the rising volume of soft signage projects, Barron turned to Midcomp, an approved HP distributor, for guidance. After exploring various options, the HP Stitch S1000 emerged as the perfect fit for the company’s needs. The machine was promptly installed at Barron’s specialist facility in Johannesburg.
“Our current equipment couldn’t keep up with the volume of demand we’ve been experiencing in soft signage,” said Barron Marketing Executive Lollitta Pitso. “The HP Stitch S1000 ticked all the boxes for us, thanks to its reputation for quality and the support we’ve always received from Midcomp.”
Enhanced Capabilities
Since its installation, the HP Stitch S1000 has delivered a marked improvement in both sublimation printing production capacity and print quality. According to Pitso, the machine’s speed, reliability, and ability to produce vibrant, eye-catching colours have been instrumental in supporting the company’s growth strategy in the sublimation printing sector.
“We love how easy the machine is to use, and its speed and versatility make it a game-changer for us,” said Pitso. “The bright, popping colours it produces are essential for the type of work we do.”
Strategic Growth
This investment aligns with Barron’s long-term goals to expand its sublimation product range and deliver cost-effective solutions at a larger scale. “The HP Stitch S1000 strengthens our ability to meet customer needs and positions us competitively in the growing sublimation printing market,” Pitso said.
Looking ahead, Barron is exploring additional opportunities to integrate HP technology into its operations to further support its expansion plans.
By adopting the HP Stitch S1000, Barron is poised to capitalise on the growing demand for soft signage and maintain its position as a trusted provider of high-quality printing solutions.
