Digital textile printing involves printing designs directly onto fabric from a computer without additional steps. It can print any design onto fabrics like cotton, polyester, and silk. The fabrics must be pre-treated to hold the ink better and achieve high quality. Common inks used are acid, disperse, and reactive inks for different fiber types. The printing process involves pre-treatment, design modification, printing with a digital textile printer, and finishing steps like steaming.

3.  It is the technology that consists
of printing your designs on
fabric, directly from your
computer, with no other
additional step. This means that
after you are finished creating
your designs, and once you
have them in repeat, you can
print on fabric just like you
print on paper or other medias
using a RIP software. Some ink
types may require a post
treatment such as steaming or
heat setting the print.

4.  Digital can print any
design on all kind of
fabric, like cotton,
poly or silk etc.

5.  The only requirement is that the fabrics to use
have to be pre-treated to hold the ink better,
and achieve a wider color gamut and quality
output.

6. 
The Dyes which are commonly used for digital textile inks are
as follows: Acid dye Inks, Reactive dye Inks and Disperse dye
Inks.
Name of Digital Printing Inks Types of fibers used
Acid inks Silks & Nylons
Disperse inks Polyester
Dye based inks Not used for any fabrics, used for
photography only.
Reactive inks All cellulose based fibers: Cotton, Linen
& Rayon

7.  Pre-setting Process : Using 'pre-setting'
system / Coating machine / Padding mangle,
appropriate treatment should be done for the
fabric before printing.
 DTP System : Print it via Digital Textile Printer
after modifying colors & Designs with help of
Design & RIP Software.
 Finishing Process : Printed result has to
undergo the finishing process, such as
steaming, washing etc.

9.  The image can be printed all over the entire item, with no
difficulty.
 Colors can be extraordinarily brilliant due to the bonding of
the dye to the transparent fibers of the synthetic fabric.
 Truly continuous tones can be achieved.
 Time saving for sampling only.

10.  Back side of fabric always be white.
 Sampling and production cost is high.
 Cost and lead time will be high for bigger
run.
 Speed of digital printing is very slow.

11. The concept of digital printing on fabrics has
opened new opportunities for designers,
merchandisers, production and art
departments, sales persons, etc.
