Digital printing of textiles is the latest innovation in the textile printing industry. More and more printing companies are transitioning to digital printing and benefiting from the competitive advantages they offer. Digital printing offers the fastest production efficiency and the ability to produce complex patterns and fine patterns. Before deciding whether your printing company is interested in digital textile printing, it is necessary to understand the choice of digital printing for printed fabrics.
Digital textile printing is an inkjet-based printing method that allows the printing machine to print high quality patterns on a variety of fabrics. However, some fabrics are not suitable for this particular printing technique. In this article, I specify which fabrics can be used and which fabrics cannot be used for digital printing of textiles. To fully understand why certain fabrics cannot be used for digital printing, you must understand digital printing techniques.
For digital printing, the fabric should be pre-treated first, and then the fabric is passed through the inkjet printer at high speed. Textile digital printing machines use digitally printable patterns to read the correct color information and print the color onto the fabric.
The fabric is colored using tiny droplets of ink produced by the nozzle. The nozzle is located a few millimeters above the fabric (SPGPrints Archer technology allows the nozzle to fabric distance of up to 4 mm).
In textile digital printing, the large number of print heads in the printing ensure high quality pattern design and fast production speeds. However, some fabrics cannot be used for digital printing because the nozzles are too close to the fabric. For example, some off-line fabrics can come into contact with the spray head, and causing damage.
1. Cotton. Cotton is a natural fiber and is widely used in garment industrial. Digital printing can be used for cotton fabric.
2. Woolen fabric. Printing on wool fabrics with a digital printing machine is possible, but it depends on the type of wool fabric used.If you want to print on "furry" wool fabric, It is important to choose a digital printing machine that allows the print head to print at a higher position from the fabric.
3. Silk. It can be used for silk, but you should use the reactive ink and acid ink.
4. Polyester. This is the most common fabric in digital printing, especially the sublimation printing.
5. Blended fabric.Blended fabric refers to a fabric composed of two different types of materials.Usually, textile digital printing machines can handle 70-30% proportioned mixed fabrics.
Digital textile printing can print on almost all fabrics and help improve print quality and productivity. For these special reasons, more and more traditional printing companies are transforming into digital printing.
