As the industry develops, digital textile printing equipment is gradually replacing traditional printing methods. From small-volume printing on demand to high-precision mass production, digital textile printing technology brings many outstanding benefits, in line with the trend of optimizing production lines.
What is Digital Fabric Printing?
Digital fabric printing is a method of using a digital printer to spray ink directly onto the fabric surface, instead of through a printing plate, printing plate or printing screen like traditional techniques. Thanks to that, the images and patterns created are sharp, vivid and can be flexibly customized according to the desired design.
This technology is especially suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, personalized printing workshops, or fashion brands with a made-to-order model.

- Print head system : This is the most important part, determining image quality and printing speed. Brands such as Epson, Ricoh, and Kyocera are often used for high quality print heads.
- RIP Controller and Software : Allows users to adjust print parameters, manage colors and arrange images on fabric.
- Conveyor belt or printing table : Depending on the machine type, it can be in roll or sheet form.
- Drying and color fixing system : Includes infrared drying lamp or heat chamber to dry and fix the ink on the fabric.
