why choose the digital printing on fabric?
Like digital printing on paper, digital printing on fabric even allows you to make a single print without the initial cost of a printing screen. In short, digital printing on fabric is similar to a home inkjet printer. In fact, this method of fabric printing does not impose any restrictions on the project itself - you can print any graphic on the fabric without any restrictions on the number of colors or the tonal transitions between colors.
Printing is the result of applying tiny droplets of paint (dye) to fabric, creating a pattern. By combining the four basic colors from the CMYK palette (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) and additional so-called spot colors (e.g. orange, blue), a printer is able to reproduce virtually any color from the common palette. On the other hand, digital printing also brings limitations: the possibility of using special colors (metals, fluorescents) or PANTONE palettes is very small.
Digital printing is typically done on white fabric, so printing white dots on a black background can come down to printing the entire surface black and leaving unprinted "white dots." Therefore, this "difficult" color scheme is the basic prerequisite for choosing a different method (for example, the screen printing method). Digital printing on fabric is ideal for printing photographs, detailed patterns, tonal transitions, and graphically complex designs.
Digital Printing on fabric:
- No printing screen required – no initial cost
- You can even print a copy
- No color restrictions
- The number of colors and appearance of the print does not affect manufacturing costs
- Economies of scale are certainly lower than screen printing - the first hundred meters of printing cost about the same
- Ability to perform sample printing
