One area of digital textile printing that
recently has seen steady growth is the
heat transfer. It involves printing
a graphic design onto a recipient substrate and transferring the image to a
textile product or finished garment via
heat. Designs can be printed onto a
relatively cheap carrier substrate, such
as paper and film, and heat-applied
to multiple products to provide rapid
response to market demand.
page, and printed by striking an ink-soaked
cloth ribbon against the paper, much like
an old-fashioned typewriter.This preceded the emergence of the inkjet printer,
which propels small ink droplets onto a
paper carrier.
From this original process came dyesublimation printing, which showed
early promise for textile imaging. It
transfers a wet dye that can be applied
to a compatible substrate surface to produce high-definition, vibrant, soft-hand
sublimated images.
Digital printing was first used for imaging products in the 1990s. It now is
firmly positioned to reinvent the printing
world via application on surfaces such as
paper, film, cloth, metal, labels and more.

Digital Textile Printing
Digital printing can be distinguished from
litho-offset, flexographic, letterpress and
screen printing because each graphic impression can be different.The digital ink
will not be absorbed by a substrate like
conventional ink; rather, it produces a layer
on the surface and may be fused with a
substrate in a direct-print application or
by forced heat transfer.
The printing ink and transfer substrates
are manufactured to comply with the restricted substances list (RSL) testing and
certifications that are aligned with environmental safeguards and test methods.
Being a relatively new printing process,
digital printing has a consistent record of
materials conformance and, therefore, is an
excellent choice for global, environmentally
conscious companies.
The differences between traditional and
digital textile printing have long been debated.When viewing digital textile printing applications, it is necessary to align the
printing method with its contribution to
sustainability and customization within the
