Digital Printing Fabric Fact

WHAT IS DIGITAL PRINTING?

First, let’s look at conventional printing. Conventional screen printing requires the engraving of one screen per color in a design. So a design with 18 colors would require 18 screens. Additionally, 18 separate colors also need to be mixed and matched. With digital printing, there are no screens or colors to mix. Any image you can see on a computer can be reproduced on digital printing fabric in the same way as your desktop printer prints images on paper.

WHAT FABRICS CAN BE PRINTED?

Unlike other digital printing operations, our digital printing solution is not limited in regards to any digital printing fabric content. We can print on cotton, polyester/cotton, rayon, silk, linen, nylon, wool, etc., as well as blends with a maximum width of 66”. There are however various reasons why any specific digital printing fabric may not perform well on our printer. Examples of things that can make a digital printing fabric unprintable include: water repellent finishes, softeners, hairy fabrics, extreme textures, sheer fabrics, warped selvages, long haired selvages, etc.

All about textile with recycled yarn

We partnered with Global Recycling Standard (GRS) with the mission to reclaim this textile waste, and turn it into new fibers and textile with recycled yarns. We wanted to play our part in creating a more sustainable garment industry by reducing textile waste and avoiding it from ending up in landfills.

We aim to provide an alternative, more sustainable source of raw material for the textile 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 textile with recycled yarn production. We aim to close the loop on this booming industry by re-using the textile waste from the garment factories, recycling it into new textile with recycled 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.
