For over a decade, there is many developments on the technique of printing in fabric.
Screen-printing fabric making use of flat screens may be the well-established technique for applying colour and design to fabric until recently. The process is useful when you are likely to print to a medium to large runs. Conversely, the rotary screen-printing was tried for high volumes of runs. Indeed, it is expensive for engrave and create the screens though the usage of this has become reasonable as a result of volume that it can generate.
Small runs were not economic making use of either of these methods for fabric printing. As a result of costs of the set ups, small runs can be extremely expensive.
This is prior to the release of a new technique in fabric printing. Digital fabric printing has offered fabric printing a new notion wherein small runs can be cost-effective. Printing digitally onto fabrics created from polyester has now reached new heights thanks to continuous development work by fabric manufacturers who are specialized in this kind of printing on fabric.
Stunning answers are now being achieved on fabrics and this can be noticed in a wide range of applications from flags, banners, artist’s canvas, exhibition graphics, mobile displays, stretch display systems, theatrical back drops, pos displays, home furnishings, window blinds, roller blinds etc. Printing on fabric for this ever-increasing range of applications calls for careful and steady research and development. As a result, you can be sure that there would have been a good overall performance of the fabric when it is used on different digital printing machines using several types of inks.
to make sure that you get the best from your ink and machine, a great deal of chemistry is necessary when you are planning to print fabrics with the use of dye-sub water-based direct to polyester textiles.This will then give hi-def, brilliant strong colours and when needed for flags excellent print through, for all types of printing on fabric.
However, the fact that dye-sub printing polyester has shown great results means that
printing onto fabric has attained new heights. You can now make use of the inks for textile printing. Plus, having latex ink technology lets us know that there are now inks which can be used by textiles. This is another evidence that fabric is indeed vital for digital printing since textile is now used instead of O\PVC.Because of this, machine and ink manufacturers have liked this change.
Nowadays, the newest development is the entrance of two new environment-friendly materials fabrics—Gossyp (cotton) and Chrous (jute). The requirement for printing in biodegradable and compostable fabrics are getting in importance since there has been a rise in landfill taxes. This is particularly very important to those companies who are aware of the growing demand for more green products.
Brook International is a family owned business based in Yorkshire, UK. fabric printing is one of the key services offered by Brook International, a who company strive to be the first choice supplier of high quality fabrics to flag makers and digital printers throughout Europe and beyond.
