May 27, 2026, Shanghai — DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR 2026, Asia-Pacific’s flagship trade fair for the flooring industry, officially opened today at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai, Hongqiao). Tianjin Little Dolphin New Materials Co., Ltd. has partnered with Xi'an Degao Printing & Dyeing Automation Engineering Co., Ltd. to present a complete digital printing solution for carpets at Booth 6.1C87, bringing efficient, eco-friendly, and highly adaptable printing options to the global flooring market with an integrated "equipment + ink" technology portfolio.

With 20 years of expertise in rotary screen and digital textile printing, Tianjin Little Dolphin New Materials focuses on the R&D and supply of inks for sublimation, reactive, and pigment printing processes, boasting mature experience in developing compatible disperse inks for heavy fabrics such as carpets and blankets. Xi'an Degao Printing & Dyeing Automation, as the drafting unit of national industry standards for rotary and flat screen printing machines, is a professional manufacturer of complete sets of textile printing equipment, renowned for its full-servo printing machines and automated control systems in the industry. This strategic partnership aims to create end-to-end synergy across "equipment - ink - process" to address key industry pain points in carpet digital printing, including uneven ink penetration, poor color stability, and low equipment compatibility.

At the exhibition, both companies highlighted a custom digital direct-to-textile printing solution for 4.2m wide carpets, featuring Degao’s high-efficiency printing mainframe, a 30m high-temperature color-fixing oven, a two-soaking & three-absorbing washing machine, and a 36m setting oven as a complete production line configuration. Paired with Little Dolphin’s specially developed high-penetration disperse inks for carpet fabrics, the solution enables high-definition reproduction of complex patterns and stable mass production, balancing production efficiency with environmental compliance. On-site technical teams also provided customized consultations and solution planning for inquiries regarding equipment scalability, process cost accounting, and overseas project implementation.
“The flooring industry is shifting toward personalized customization, green production, and efficient delivery. Our collaboration with Degao aims to offer customers a one-stop digital printing solution, enabling 1+1>2 synergy between equipment performance and ink characteristics,” said a representative from Dolphin New Material. “Through DOMOTEX asia, we also aim to connect with more overseas market resources and promote Chinese digital printing technology for flooring to the world.”
