 Digital Textile Printing

With the advent of technology, there has been a significant rise in the way businesses operate today. One of the most promising developments in technology is digital printing. Today digital printing technology is adopted by many businesses that include the textile and diamond industry as well. Gone are the days of conventional fabric printing; digital fabric printing has taken a massive leap in the textile industry. 

Digital fabric printing has opened doors for boundless opportunities for creativity and unparalleled prospects to enhance the quality and maintain the growing demand of textile printing.  With digital printing, anything can be printed on any fabric easily and with the utmost perfection.

What is Digital Textile Printing

In simple words, digital printing is the process of printing digital-based images directly onto a variety of surfaces. Physical surfaces can be in forms like paper, cloth, fabric, plastic, film, etc.  In digital printing, once the design is ready, you are set to go for the printing. Unlike conventional printing, where multiple steps like preparing a screen, spreading emulsion, etc., are required before finally printing any design on the fabric.

Advantages of Digital Textile Printing (DTP)

Digital textile printing has many advantages over conventional printing. The best aspect of printing is that there is no limitation in creativity and usage of colors or repeat size. Unlike traditional fabric printing, where there was a limitation to use multiple color shades on the fabric at a time, with digital fabric printing, this is no more a restriction. The digital textile printing produces 16 million colors and shades. Therefore, the process is time saving and sustainable.

Another great advantage of digital textile printing is that digital printing is not limited to a maximum amount of rotary screens. Unlimited color combinations can be applied, and hence, fine patterns with high resolution can be experienced. As there is no need for color separation and screen engraving,it helps in saving a lot of materials which in turn decrease the overall carbon footprint. 

Digital printing has proved to be a huge benefit for designers, textile companies, and retailers. It saves them a lot of time and energy. It allows the user to print quickly with a high accuracy level. In the case of traditional printing, one must follow multiple steps and has to print quantity. Therefore the process becomes too long.

Full customization is available with digital printing, without compromising on precision and accuracy. The result will always be unparalleled.

Last but not the least, as pollution has become a serious problem on the planet, considering textile as one of the biggest contributors, digital fabric printing technology minimizes water and power consumptions as conventional printing. It creates less pollution and does not release chemical waste like other methods. The technology is environment friendly.
