What is Digital Printing Fabrics

Digital printing fabrics refer to fabrics that have been printed using digital textile printing technology. This process involves printing high-resolution images directly onto fabrics using specialized inkjet printers. The printer delivers ink droplets onto the fabric surface, creating the desired design. Digital printing technology allows for high-quality, detailed designs and faster turnaround times compared to traditional methods of textile printing. It is ideal for small to medium-sized print runs, for printing complex and detailed patterns, and for customizing fabrics with unique designs. Digital printing fabrics are used in a variety of applications, including apparel, home décor, and signage.

What fabrics can you digital print on?

We can print on cotton, polyester, rayon, silk, linen, nylon, wool, etc., as well as blends with a maximum width of "60". There are however various reasons why any specific fabric may not perform well on our printer.

Advantages of Digital Printing Fabrics

Ink Usage

Digital printing fabrics use specially formulated inks that are designed to bond with the fibers of the fabric, resulting in a vibrant and long-lasting print. These inks are available in a wide range of colors and can produce stunning gradient effects.

Printing Heads

The printing heads on digital printing fabrics are designed to disperse ink droplets onto the fabric in a precise and controlled manner. These heads can be adjusted to produce different print densities, allowing for fine details and a high level of accuracy.

Short turnaround time

Digital textile printers are more efficient than traditional printing methods because they do not require the use of screens or printing plates. This means a much faster turnaround time for print orders without incurring high set-up costs.

Environmental friendly

Digital textile printing machines are more environmentally friendly than traditional printing methods. They require less water and energy to operate, which means they have a lower carbon footprint.

Basic Characteristics of Digital Printing Fabrics

1. There is no need to spend expensive plate making costs. You only need to transfer your favorite pattern to the thermal transfer printing master. After a little processing by the printing master, the printing paper can be produced for transfer printing.

2. Since there is no need for plate making, digital printing fabrics eliminate some unnecessary processes, and the sample production speed is accelerated. Generally, samples can be produced in 2-3 days.

3. The number of colors is unlimited, and the patterns and colors of digital printing fabrics are fuller and more delicate.

4. The materials used in digital printing fabrics are environmentally friendly and pollution-free, which can completely eliminate the worries caused by environmentally unqualified products.

5. The color fastness is excellent. As long as your fabric is mainly made of polyester, the color fastness to light and washing can reach level 4 or above.

6. Digital printing fabrics are soft to the touch and have good breathability.

Component Classification of Digital Printing Fabrics

1. Cotton: Digital printing fabrics are mainly cotton, but reactive dye inks can also be used in linen, silk, etc.;

2. Chemical fiber: Digital printing fabrics based on chemical fiber, produced with dispersed dye-sublimation dye ink and chemical fiber dispersed direct-injection digital;

3. Blended fabrics: Some blended digital printing fabrics such as T/C, fabrics that cannot be operated with reactive, dispersed, and acid dye inks alone, are printed with paint inks;

4. Nylon and wool: Digital printing fabrics based on nylon and wool are produced with acid dye inks, and silk can also be used.

What fabrics are suitable for digital printing?

01.Cotton fabric

Cotton is the most commonly used natural fabric for printing. No matter it’s for fashion or just personal use, it’s always a priority. Thanks to the natural fibre feature, cotton has a high moisture control, comfort, durability and breathability. We are using reactive inks, which could be better absorbed by cotton fibre for digital printed cotton. At the same time reactive inks could provide a stronger color fastness and penetration.

02.Linen/Ramie fabric

Linen/Ramie is also one of the natural fibre and we call it a natural air conditioner.Due to the special feature and breathability ,it’s your first choice in summer. In the past, we were only able to choose solid

03.Mixed/blended fabric

Mixed/blended fabric means one fabric that’s made up of at least two different yarns. It could be poly/cotton, viscose/cotton, silk/cotton, viscose/poly, etc. Or three different compositions like poly/cotton/viscose, polyamide/poly/spandex, etc. It could be a challenge for printers, as we can only use one certain ink for digital printing on a specific fabric. Don’t be panic, still many of them are good for digital printing. No matter how many materials are mixed together, there’s a game rule that all digital printers will follow. We will explain more about it in other articles.

04.Wool and Silk

Both wool and silk are luxury fabrics and deserve to be applied with the best digital printing technologies on textiles. Reactive inks and acid ink will work on both fabrics, if you are looking forward to a better color fastness we shall go for the reactive. If for color vibrancy, go for the acid inks.

05.Viscose/tencel/modal/rayon/lyocell

You might have heard about these fabrics and actually they all belong to the man-made fabric category. Each fabric represents a different feature. And they are widely applied in the fashion industry, high street fashion like H&M, Zara. You can find a lot of blouses, pants and shorts made up of viscose in their stores. As is the case we apply digital print on cotton, we use reactive inks as well to print on man-made fabrics.

06.Polyamide fabric

Polyamide fabric is a general term that is used to refer to a variety of different fabrics that are made from strings of polyamide monomers. The most famous form of polyamide fabric is nylon.
