What is Digital Printing Fabric?

The Technology Behind It

Digital printing fabric is a very exciting development in the fabric industry. This type of printing opens opportunities for customization, small-run printing, and experimentation.

It utilizes inkjet printing technology which is used for paper printing applications. Over time with technological developments, wide-format printers became available to handle anything from paper to vinyl, and of course, fabric!

During the printing process, the fabric goes through the printer using rollers. As it goes through the printer, the ink goes on in layers with many passes of the printer. When the design is complete, you heat and/or steam to cure it. When that’s all said and done, you have your printed fabric!

Design & Customization

The best part? The designs! Customize to your liking or create a digital printing fabric with many graphic design programs. Scanned photographs or existing artwork work as well. Digital printing fabric allows you to find or create the perfect print for your garments!

How to select the right coated textile for your application

The process of coated textile fabrics goes back to the 18th century with the production of oilcloth. Fabric was coated with linseed oil; thus the fabric was made water resistant. The coated textile of a fabric gives the textile a property it did not have on its own.

Today we can see coated fabrics all around us. From waterproof camping gear, UV protected window shades, protective clothing for fire fighters to the inflatable chutes on aircraft, coated textiles have important applications to our everyday lives.

In order to get the fabric and coated textile combination correct, consider the final application. For example, will the product need to be water resistant, mildew resistant, fire retardant, and breathable or any combination of these? Let’s consider a military application like a backpack; a backpack would need to be water resistant. A boat cover calls for water, mildew resistance and breathability. It is very important to consider your total requirements for the application.

There are many options when is comes to fabrics and coated textile. Finding the right combination for your project is the key to success.

PVC free banner printing solution

Adapting to changes in customer behavior is critical in the print industry if you want to stay in business. PVC-free banners, which have captivated people’s attention as a result of the plastic issue, are a perfect illustration of this. Plastic pollution is expected to treble by 2030, making the plastic catastrophe one of society’s most pressing issues. People may contribute in a variety of ways, one of which is to convert to less polluting, more recyclable plastics. This has resulted in a variety of PVC-free materials, such as PVC-free banners and PVC-free media that work similarly.

A PVC banner is constructed from Polyvinyl Chloride, the world’s third-most-produced plastic, which may be used to build pipes and gutters or banners that span the length of a skyscraper depending on its molecular structure. PVC banners are the most often used banners in terms of volume since they are inexpensive, long-lasting, and work with ordinary printing equipment. PVC banners are available in a variety of sizes, shapes, and weights; a greater GSM indicates a heavier product.

In contrast to PVC flex banners, which are constructed of PVC, PVC-free flex banners are composed of polyester canvas (also known as mesh) or PE woven material. PVC-free flex banners acquire their name from the material’s flexibility during printing and how simple it is to print on a wide scale. Depending on the product, PVC-free flex banners can be used both indoors and outdoors. Envirotech PVC-free Flex Banner 160 is a similar product that can be printed with UV inks and is rain and UV (fade) resistant.

Now that you understand the environmental advantages of providing PVC-free banners to clients, the following step is to investigate the items on the market. Fortunately, we’ve already done that for you. Trueprint signs can recommend the best PVC-free banners and media based on the products you sell and help you make positive changes in your business, like introducing cost-effective PVC substitutes and transitioning from PVC banners.

How Coated Textile are Made

Coated textile are produced by applying a polymer to a textile material. For certain applications, an adhesive is used to create a stronger bond.

Several coating application techniques can be used for this process, including direct application, heat or adhesive lamination, transfer coating, and immersion. After the coating has been applied, the polymer layer needs time to cure. This new coated textile fabric system now has improved performance, longevity, durability as well as many other designed attributes.

Here, we create innovative coated textile solutions for the most demanding industries, such as aerospace, automotive, defense, and medical. Our products are created to address the unique demands of each application and include fabrics such as knits, films, woven, and non-woven fabrics.

The Vision on Sustainability of Textile with Recycled Yarn

 

We partnered with the textile with recycled yarn, and turn it into new fibers and yarns. We wanted to play our part in creating a more sustainable garment industry by textile with recycled yarn and avoiding it from ending up in landfills.

We aim to provide an alternative, more sustainable source of raw material for the textile with recycled yarn industry. We aim to do this locally, to avoid using resources and emitting CO2 in the transportation of the jooth, and mechanically, to avoid having to use any water, dyes or chemicals in the process.

This way we could significantly reduce the environmental impact of the yarn production. We aim to close the loop on this booming industry by re-using the textile with recycled yarn from the garment factories, recycling it into new yarns, and returning it to those same garment factories again, so that they in turn can use it to produce new fabrics and garments for their customers.
