Inkjet Printer: Digital Printing
Digital printing is divided into digital direct printing and digital thermal transfer printing. Digital direct printing means that you can use a digital printer to directly print the pattern you need on various materials. Digital thermal transfer requires the printed pattern to be pre-printed on special paper, and then transferred to various materials through thermal transfer, such as T-shirts, underwear, sportswear and other clothing.
Basic features of digital thermal transfer:
(1) No need to spend expensive plate making fees. You only need to transfer your favorite pattern to the printing master, and the printing master can produce printing paper for transfer with a little processing.
(2) Since there is no need for plate making, some unnecessary process flows are omitted, and the sampling speed is accelerated, and sampling can be done in 2-3 days.
(3) There is no limit on the number of colors, making the pattern fuller and more delicate.
(4) The materials used are environmentally friendly and pollution-free, which can completely eliminate the worries caused by environmental failure.
(5) One-piece printing can better reflect personalized characteristics.
(6) Excellent color fastness. As long as your fabric is mainly polyester, the sun fastness and washing fastness can reach above level 4.
(7) Soft touch and good breathability.
Fabrics suitable for digital thermal transfer: chiffon, Oxford cloth, polyester cloth, polyester-cotton cloth, etc.
Products suitable for digital thermal transfer: T-shirts, advertising shirts, cultural shirts, dresses, sportswear, couple clothes, fashion underwear and other clothing.
Due to the impact of the international financial crisis, it has been difficult for the field of clothing printing processing to develop well in recent years, and the volume of printing orders will shrink for a period of time.
But in the long run, the overall performance will remain optimistic.
Correspondingly, we must adapt to the reality of small-batch printing orders, variety diversification, rejection of low-value-added products, and fast delivery as soon as possible, strive for initiative, and strive for a higher level.
Digital printing technology will have a broader application prospect in the field of clothing printing. Digital printing will also go further.
