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!
