Digital printing technology is to print the pattern on the transfer paper, and then use the high temperature of the transfer machine to print the pattern on the transfer paper onto the fabric. Thermal transfer printing machines mainly print some polyester, chemical fiber materials, etc. With the advancement of the times and technological innovation, digital printing machines have emerged in the industry with advanced digital printing technology and have become the choice of more and more printers. Especially in economically developed areas the proportion of digital printing machines has continued to increase and has achieved rapid development in recent years. It allows more traditional companies to accelerate their transformation to digital printing. So compared with traditional printing methods, what are the technological characteristics of digital printing?
No need to mix pulp, reducing environmental costs
In the traditional printing process, more or less waste color paste is produced for each set of colors printed. These waste color pastes are difficult to reuse, which not only wastes dyes and additives but also increases the cost of sewage treatment. Digital printing does not require color paste preparation, which not only saves the space, facilities, dyes, and auxiliaries required for color paste preparation but also uses the same ink no matter what pattern is printed, except for a small amount of waste ink produced when cleaning the nozzle. , no other waste is produced, and the waste of dyes and auxiliaries is very small.
No need for plate making, reducing intermediate links
Digital printing does not require the production of patterns (mesh), which saves the purchase of related equipment and materials and the space for making patterns (mesh), saving costs. For traditional printing, it costs at least several thousand yuan to produce a pattern (screen) based on 10 sets of colors. The storage of the finished pattern (net) requires a large space. If large-scale production is not carried out after proofing, it will cause a waste of pattern-making plates (mesh). In addition, color separation and tracing are required before making the pattern (mesh). The color separation and tracing of complex patterns takes a long time. Digital printing requires neither tracing nor making the pattern (mesh), which saves time and cost. Create conditions for fast delivery.
No version restrictions, making the expression of design concepts more powerful
In traditional printing, whether it is a flat screen or a rotary screen, due to the limitations of the screen width and the diameter of the rotary screen, there are restrictions on the size of the printed patterns. Digital printing breaks through the color registration limitations of traditional printing. It can flexibly create color combinations, quickly change colors, and easily complete color gradients, moire, and realistic color expressions. Digital printing patterns are not affected by color number and screen registration errors, and the patterns are vivid in color and rich in layers.
Can meet the needs of small batches and quick response
Traditional printing requires a series of complicated processes such as pattern making (screen), color paste, and machine printing, so it often has minimum printing volume requirements. When market sales are unclear, it is difficult for manufacturing companies to develop new patterns in large quantities. One of the biggest advantages of digital printing is that it can meet any small batch production requirements of customers, thereby meeting customers' sales needs for developing new patterns and zero inventory backlog. In addition, the delivery time of traditional printing is very long. If you encounter products with complex patterns and sensitive colors that are difficult to produce, the delivery cycle can reach 1 to 2 months. However, the delivery time for small batches of digital printing is usually only 2 to 3 days or less, and urgent proofing can be completed on the same day.
Products are not easily counterfeited
The patterns and colors of digital printing need to be processed by digital technology, and computer software is used for color matching and printing conversion, so that the colors of digital printing products can theoretically reach 16.7 million, completely breaking through the color limitations of traditional textile printing. Especially in the printing of high-precision patterns such as color gradients and moire, digital printing has more technical advantages. Moreover, printed products are difficult to copy and counterfeit when sold in the market, which can fundamentally protect the intellectual property rights and economic interests of manufacturers and designers.
Make the decorative effects of fabric patterns rich and diverse
Digital printing can achieve the performance of various complex pattern effects, breaking through the process limitations of traditional printing. Through changes in pattern design and creation methods, the visual field of pattern effects on clothing fabrics has been expanded, and special pattern effects that are full of changes have been produced, such as three-dimensional effects, motion effects, mixed effects, light effects, psychedelic effects, and tie-dye effects. , watercolor effect, texture effect, simulation effect, neon effect, etc. Digital printing has promoted the popularity of innovative effects on printed fabric patterns and increased the interest and vividness of printing.
