Textile Digital Inkjet Printing

Since the 1990s, inkjet printing technology has been widely used in textiles, and manufacturers of chemicals, print heads, printing machines, fabrics and software have begun to try to cooperate with each other. The cooperation of various industries enables the printing quality of textiles to exceed traditional printing standards. Yet the emergence of a new era of collaboration has both advantages and disadvantages for users. Most of the advantages are the cooperation of the various industries in the emergence of suitable machines, components, chemicals and software, which guarantee the safety of the procedure. The advent of state-of-the-art Epson printheads set a milestone for textile inkjet printers, and almost all relevant inks could be applied to these printheads. One of the drawbacks is the lack of compatibility between competing systems.
