Benefits of Digital Printing

Design without limits - imagine creating a painting or drawing and having it become part of the design of your fabric. When you decide to digitally print your fabrics, your design choices are unlimited. Mix the traditional patterns with the actual photograph, incorporate solid colours, patterns, and blends. Use as many colours as you wish. Anything you can design on your computer can be printed on fabric.

Superior print quality - printing fabrics digitally gives an excellent level of print and colour clarity. The final printed fabric when combined with infinite colour combinations and design choices, will exceed your standards compared to traditional fabric printing techniques.

Faster turnaround - it could take up to eight weeks to get a unique design printed on your fabric range to see the results. And, unless you're satisfied, the process begins all over again. This not only wastes valuable time and resources, but limits a designer's imagination. Printing your fabric digitally changes everything. In most cases, your designs can be printed by a digital textile printer on the same fabrics that you usually screen print, but delivered in as few as seven working days. Just imagine how it will change the way you do business with this quick delivery time.

Print on any fabric type - digital printing can be done on any fabric. From polyesters and blends of natural fibres such as silks, cotton, linen, wool, and rayon. Regardless of the fabric type you’re looking to produce, digital fabric printing ensures the creative vision and expectations are met.

Better for the environment - compared to traditional methods of fabric printing, digital fabric printing makes significant reductions in both water and energy consumption. As a result, it can minimise water use by up to 90 percent and electrical use by up to 30 percent.

You can have the latest groundbreaking and imaginative designs such as concepts of shadow, shimmering, vibration, reflection, moire, optical, transparent, netting, blurring, layering, superimposing, and so on, without the special efforts needed with traditional printing methods. The printing technology has grown rapidly and is both eco-friendly and user-friendly, that you don't have to think twice about digitally printing your fabric.
