The history of Garment printing technology can date back to 1980s. That was when the first color inkjet printers were introduced by Hewlett-Packard and Canon. Of course, these printers didn't reproduce designs on fabrics, but it wasn't long before one was modified to do so.The first digital printing on garments was little more than a novelty. Bubble jet printers could be used to recreate pictures and designs on basic white T-shirts and fabrics. But the technology and the materials were far too expensive for regular, working businesses.
