Digital Printing for Textiles

Of the various methods of textile printing, digital printing provides a world of possibilities for the design of cotton fabrics. Currently, screen printing is the most common type of printing technique, but it has some limitations when compared to digital printing. Rotary screen printing accounts for approximately 65% of printed goods, while flat-bed screen printing accounts for about 17% of the market. Both methods require fairly high development time and costs because a screen must be prepared for each color in the print design. Digital printing is used to rapidly produce trial prints for sale or evaluation. Many industry leaders believe digital printing has the potential to become the textile printing technique of the future. Learn more about cotton printing at CottonWorks.com.
