The digitalization of inkjet digital printing has begun

According to historical records, inkjet digital printing first appeared in the 1990s, which is a sign of innovation in the printing industry. It is printed on a variety of textile fabrics and printed directly on the digital printing machine using active, acid, paint, dispersion, and other water-based inks. Inkjet printing technology is considered to be the best solution for small batches or single parts, requiring fast delivery and proofing before large-scale printing.

The outstanding advantages of inkjet digital printing

Under this understanding, Xiaowu then discovered in an exchange with many spray net friends that ink jet printing has excellent performance in improving efficiency and saving costs, and its contribution to environmental protection is more worth looking forward to.

(I) Inkjet digital printing has outstanding performance in improving efficiency and saving costs

The application of inkjet digital printing technology has greatly reduced the working time of textile designers and printing studios, greatly improved work efficiency, and simplified the processes, which objectively caused a continuous decline in production costs. The reason is that they have been using digital software since the design work, and they have used digital inkjet printers to realize printing samples and small batch production, and the mature use of dye inks and pigment inks such as acid inks, reactive inks, and disperse inks. They can perform better on various kinds of fabrics, skipping time and effort, labor intensity (a lot of spray net friends of Xiaowu strongly agree), expensive plate making process, achieving “What you see is what you get” The screen pattern prints directly.

(II) Digital inkjet printing is more worth looking forward to in environmental protection

Under the pressure of most of the traditional printing companies facing energy conservation and emission reduction, the advantages of inkjet digital printing are gradually emerging. According to the relevant data, we have to face the problem that, when using traditional printing equipment for printing, about 30% of the amount of dye can not be combined with the fiber, which caused huge waste while also being washed in the washing process to produce Huge environmental pollution; Inkjet digital printing process adopts ink direct injection process, the amount of dye is only about 40% of the traditional printing, and only 5% of the ink is washed off after the post-processing, the amount of pollution generated is only the traditional printing process 1/15-1/25. It is also the advantages of inkjet digital printing, such as convenience, speed, and environmental protection. The demand for digital printing by printing and dyeing companies has also increased dramatically year by year. Recently, as a provider of domestic well-known textile printing solutions, the horsepower waterless printing program proposed by Hongsheng Digital has aroused everyone’s great interest. The characteristics of the program that do not require steaming, washing, short process energy saving and environmental protection Dyeing people have been looking forward to, is not it?

Problems with inkjet digital printing

Understand the various advantages of ink-jet printing, the fog can not help but start thinking, so obvious advantages of technology, why not be industrialized application? According to the altarmate, the problems faced by digital printing are mainly accuracy, color matching, improving the quality of printing ink, and the speed and cost of digital printing equipment. These factors make traditional printing companies produce large quantities of orders in the same color. It is more difficult to use inkjet digital printing technology for industrial production. Are you thinking of the spray net altar friends?

The status of inkjet digital printing

Although there are problems with speed and color matching, the continuous improvement of software, machines, print heads, and ink continues to make the inkjet digital printing impressive. It is recalled that there are data indicating that in the US rolling digital textile market, there was an increase of 13% in 2010, and the digital printing output value reached US$130 billion, while there was a direct increase to the apparel market of 32%, of which the digital printing output value was US$245 million. Unfortunately, Xiaowu did not find the data for the last two years. If you have any, please feel free to contact me at the sprayer's jar.

In China, the performance of digital printing is also quite eye-catching. According to statistics, in 2011, the number of various types of inkjet digital printing machines in China was about 700, which was equivalent to 3.3 times that of 2008. In 2011, the amount of digital ink-jet printing in the country was 140 million meters, accounting for 0.86% of the total printing volume. Compared with the national digital ink-jet printing volume of 40 million meters in 2008 and 0.33% of the total printing volume, the number of digital ink-jet printing products increased significantly.

From the statistics, it can also be seen that the current proportion of inkjet digital printing fabrics in China's textile printing industry is very small, accounting for less than 1% of the total printing, and the proportion of foreign digital printing is much greater. At the same time, foreign authoritative research reports predict that from 2009 to 2014, the annual compound annual growth rate of digital textile printing machines can be as high as 23.1%. In the next few years, there will be an explosive growth in digital printing.
