Basic Introduction to Digital Printing
Apr 10, 2023
Digital printing is divided into digital direct spray printing and digital heat transfer printing. Digital direct printing refers to using a digital printer to directly print the patterns you need on various materials. And digital heat transfer printing requires pre printing the printed pattern on special paper, and then transferring it to various materials through heat transfer printing, such as T-shirts, underwear, sportswear, and other clothing.
Basic features of digital heat transfer printing:
(1) There is no need to spend expensive plate making fees, just transfer your favorite patterns to the heat transfer printing master, and after the printing master has done some processing, you can produce printing paper for transfer printing.
(2) Due to the need for plate making, unnecessary process flow is eliminated, and the sample production speed is faster. Generally, the sample can be produced in 2-3 days.
(3) There is no limit to the number of colors, making the pattern more full and delicate in color.
(4) The materials used are environmentally friendly and pollution-free, which can completely eliminate the worries caused by environmental non-compliance.
(5) A single print can better showcase the unique personalized characteristics of the world.
(6) Excellent color fastness, as long as your fabric is mainly made of polyester, the color fastness to sunlight and washing can reach level 4 or above.
(7) Soft to the touch and excellent breathability.
Fabric suitable for digital heat transfer printing:
Chiffon yarn, Oxford fabric, polyester fabric, polyester cotton fabric, etc.
Products suitable for digital heat transfer printing:
T-shirts, advertising shirts, cultural shirts, dresses, sportswear, couple clothing, fashion underwear, and other clothing.
Due to the impact of the international financial crisis, the field of clothing printing processing has struggled to develop well in recent years, and the number of printing orders will shrink for a period of time. But in the long run, the overall performance will still be relatively optimistic. Correspondingly, we should adapt to the reality of quantifying small batches of printing orders, diversifying varieties, abandoning low value-added products, and delivering quickly as soon as possible, strive for initiative, and strive to reach a higher level! Digital printing technology will have a broader application in the field of clothing printing. Digital printing will also go further.
