What is Digital Fabric Printing?
A popular high-tech printing process with endless possibilities
The Technology Behind It
Digital fabric printing is a very exciting development in the fabric industry. This type of printing opens opportunities for customization, small-run printing, and experimentation.
It utilizes inkjet printing technology which is used for paper printing applications. Over time with technological developments, wide-format printers became available to handle anything from paper to vinyl, and of course, fabric!
During the printing process, the fabric goes through the printer using rollers. As it goes through the printer, the ink goes on in layers with many passes of the printer. When the design is complete, you heat and/or steam to cure it. When that’s all said and done, you have your printed fabric!
Design & Customization
The best part? The designs! Customize to your liking or create a digital print with many graphic design programs. Scanned photographs or existing artwork work as well. Digital printing allows you to find or create the perfect print for your garments!
Why Choose this Printing Technique?
Customization
Every yard you print can be completely customized and personalized with different colors, shapes, layouts, etc!
Faster Process
For sampling purposes, digital printing can give you these small runs quickly. You no longer need to search high and low for a print or it becomes unavailable right when you need it. You can get your pattern fast and have the print be exactly what you want when you want.
Keeping On Fashion Trends
The traditional screen-printed fabrics have a slow turnaround time and make it difficult to stay on top of fashion trends. With digital printing, it’s an efficient process to go from the design stage to printing in a much faster timeline. This means you can take advantage of current fashion trends.
