Flexible material transport system

A flexible material transport system for fabric, the system comprising:

• a printing machine;
• a material accumulator connected at a first end to the printing machine;
• and
• a cutting machine connected to a second end of the material accumulator;
• wherein the material accumulator is configured to feed printed fabric from the printing machine into the cutting machine;
• and
• wherein the material accumulator comprises a material web transporter comprises a plurality of rollers configured to control movement of the fabric from the printing machine to the material accumulator and onto the cutting machine.

A flexible material transport system for fabric, the system comprising:

• a material accumulator configured to hold one or more rolls of fabric;
• and
• a cutting machine connected to the material accumulator;
• wherein the material accumulator is configured to feed fabric into the cutting machine;
• and
• wherein the material accumulator comprises a material web transporter, the material web transporter comprising a plurality of rollers configured to control movement of the fabric from the printing machine to the material accumulator and onto the cutting machine.
