 What Are Digital Textile Printing Applications?Digital textile printing is widely used in garment (cloth, scarves, fashion show, etc.), home textile décor (curtain, table cloth, bath, etc.), outdoor products(umbrellas, bags, tent, beachchair, etc), and more. However, its advantages can be seen more obviously in producing products with multiple patterns, small order, or high definition images. What Kind of Inks Do You Use?Digital Printing System supplies a variety of dye based inks that include disperse, pigment, acid, and reactive, for most fabric applications including but not limited to: cotton, nylon (flags and banners), Lycra, Spandex, polyester (flags and banners), silk, rayon, and blends. 1) Reactive ink, which mainly is used to nature fabric such as silk, cotton, flax, and wool, or their mixtures 2) Acid ink, which is mainly used to nylon. Also it can be used to silk or wool, which causes the color brighter than using Reactive ink but the some parameters of fastness of the color will be lower, such as wet rub solidness (3 degree instead of 4 degree like 1) 3) Disperse ink, which mainly is used to polyester. 4) Pigment ink, which is mainly used to mixtures of 50% polyester and 50% nature fabric. Or it can be used to spry printing on dyed fabrics, including silk, cotton, flax, polyester, and etc. What is Sample Set Up FeeThis is a design charge during the sample printing process when you ask for specific image colors to be achieved. Due to a common fact about colors -- what you see on the computer screen is quite different from what is print out by digital textile printers. Therefore, to achieve ideal image colors, a manual adjustment using software application is need. What Are Digital Textile Printing Advantages?- Due to introducing advanced technologies and a totally different process to work on the digital printing; one of the biggest advantages is less minimum order requirement needed as compared with the traditional order, which meets the demand for the individual fashion and unique design concept or any customized requirement. - Digital printing shortens production cycle of 10 days less than traditional printing, if it is customized design and small number orders. - No industry pollutions due to using ink instead of chemical materials and water spill in manufacturing of the traditional printing. Therefore it is echo friendly. - It can achieve image copy of high definition from original designs to textiles with a high quality and vivid colors. How Are Color Fastness, Handle / Softness?Digital printed cloth or scarf behaves in the same way as tradition printed ones, the same color fastness and handle as known from traditional printing. Can Printed Fabric Be Washable? Yes the same color fastness as known from traditional printing. However, with respect to specific products that you have purchased, please follow caring instructions provided by the product producers. Will Prints on Fabric Achieve the Exact Same Look as Original Designs?Due to certain unresolved technical and/or material issues, designs’ colors printed on fabric will not exactly look like those viewed on paper; and especially not those viewed exclusively on a computer screen. Textile weaves and nap may dramatically or likely modify the final printed products. How to Prepare Electronic Files for Digital Textile Printing 1) Make your electronic files from original designs (artworks, photo graphics, family photos, pictures on magazines, etc.) by professional high definition devices, such as a professional box camera and scanner. 2) Generate final electronic files on computer using image editors, such as Photoshop, stored in CMYK Tiff format, at least 300dpi, and 1:1 proportion. 3) Ideally, print images out on paper in desired colors you want comparing to original designs, which can be used as color references submitted together with corresponding electronic files.
