The students who have previous experience with industrial knitting with ADF is possible, have the chance to knit 2 samples for the Epson Textile Print Competition project. However, we suggest that you use the hand-operated knitting machines to knit print grounds. 


In case you use ADF:

 You can either send designs for jacquard or links links, or if you have another previous file that has been knitted with ADF (is tested and works well), you can also use that. For jacquard and links links it is enough to send the photoshop files in tiff format (index colour) and indicate in the product card which jacquard structure and yarns you would like to use.  Please collect the yarns you would like to use and bring them to the knitting workshop by Wednesday morning with a note with your name on it. The samples should be suitable either for the Epson t-shirt printer (natural fibers or polyester) or Epson sublimation (polyester). Select the colours keeping in mind the printing possibilities. Weigh the yarns and mark them down in the material cost folder, in a page for the Epson textile print competition. 

 The size of the files should be 350 x 350 pixels.

You don’t need to be present for the knitting.

See the Aalto Epson brief for ideas!
