The FESPA Global Print Expo 2026, the world’s premier event for printing and personalization, took place from May 19 to 22 at Fira Barcelona in Barcelona, Spain. At this gathering of global printing leaders, HONGSAM made a strong impression at booth 3-E11, showcasing the strength of Chinese digital inkjet technology on the world stage. From the steady flow of visitors and distributed product materials to live technical demonstrations, HONGSAM proved that the 25 years of dedication to inkjet ink R&D and production is now shining brightly on the international scene.
Throughout the exhibition, HONGSAM Digital’s booth was constantly busy. Clients from Europe, South America, the Middle East, Africa, and beyond came in waves — drawn by the vibrant colors, impressed by the fine print quality during live demos, and many specifically seeking out HONGSAM’s reputation for “Chinese smart manufacturing.”
The HONGSAM team’s technical engineers and sales staff provided one-on-one consultations for every visitor, covering technical details, printhead compatibility, and cost optimization, answering every question with patience and expertise.
At FESPA 2026, HONGSAM highlighted three advanced inkjet printing solutions, each representing the culmination of 25 years of technical expertise:
Hong-Jet® HJ-1604L Water-based Latex Solution – A Green Printing Pioneer with Full Media Compatibility
The Hong-Jet® water-based latex solution delivers high-definition output on a wide range of uncoated substrates, including leather, wallpaper, special papers, lightbox fabrics, and soft packaging materials. The inks offer high color saturation, excellent scratch resistance, and strong outdoor weatherability. As a pure water-based formula, it is odorless and non-toxic, fully meeting strict VOC emission requirements for home decoration and commercial spaces.
The JETALL® water-based latex inks have passed comprehensive SGS GB-18401 testing and hold OEKO-TEX® ECO-PASSPORT certification. They are safe, environmentally friendly, and ideal for high-value applications such as premium home customization, automotive aftermarket, eco-friendly commercial advertising, and high-end leather apparel.
HOTME® High-Energy Disperse Ink Solution – Color Specialist for Industrial Polyester Printing
As the drafter of China’s national industry standard for disperse dye inks, HONGSAM Digital developed its high-energy disperse inks specifically for chemical fibers and polyester fabrics. The prints feature brilliant colors, rich layering, and maintain excellent fabric penetration and soft hand feel.
In 2023, HOTME® high-energy disperse inks successfully passed rigorous testing on Ricoh printheads, making HONGSAM the first and only Chinese manufacturer to receive official Ricoh certification. This achievement marks a new international benchmark for domestic disperse inks in industrial printhead compatibility. The inks also hold OEKO-TEX® Eco Passport certification and are an excellent choice for sportswear, flags, satin, and other high-standard printing applications.
JETEXTILE® Textile Pigment Printing Solution – The “Master Key” to Digital Inkjet Textile Printing
As the drafter of China’s textile pigment ink standards, HONGSAM’s JETEXTILE® textile pigment inks address previous shortcomings in domestic nano-pigment digital inkjet technology. They have earned OEKO-TEX® ECO-PASSPORT and GOTS certifications and deliver strong performance in fastness, hand feel, color vibrancy, and print reliability.
The solution enables a simplified process with no steaming or washing required, significantly reducing energy consumption and wastewater discharge to support low-carbon production. One ink works across all fabric types — cotton, polyester, nylon, silk, and blends — making it truly versatile.
WTiN (World Textile Information Network) previously highlighted HONGSAM’s disruptive innovation in digital pigment printing in a major feature report. It noted that HONGSAM’s self-developed JETEXTILE® textile pigment ink system, backed by revolutionary RCT technology and a global technical service network, has overcome the high energy use and pollution issues of traditional printing. The report confirmed that sustainable digital textile manufacturing can achieve true industrial-scale application across different global markets, offering a practical new path for low-carbon transformation in the textile supply chain.

Beyond strong foot traffic and positive feedback, HONGSAM also secured significant business results at FESPA. One international client, after thoroughly evaluating the pigment inks, placed an order on the spot. This immediate decision served as strong validation of product quality, technical capability, and service reliability. After seeing the fine detail, vibrant colors, and soft hand feel of the printed samples, the client made their purchasing decision without hesitation.
Building on its mature technical system and industry experience, HONGSAM continues to advance its “HONGSAM+” strategy, aiming to build a value-sharing ecosystem. As a technology bridge, the company connects equipment manufacturers, channel partners, and end users. Moving forward, HONGSAM will keep delivering advanced printing technologies and comprehensive one-stop solutions, supporting partners through joint marketing and technical empowerment to enhance competitiveness and achieve mutual success with global collaborators.
FESPA 2026 has now concluded successfully, but HONGSAM’s journey toward globalization continues. We extend our sincere thanks to every industry colleague who visited our booth for discussions and exchanges. In the future, HONGSAM will stay true to its innovative roots, continue deepening its focus on digital printing technology R&D, and deliver better products and services to the market, contributing to the high-quality development of the textile and printing industry.
