Digital inkjet printing on textiles is a printing technique that utilizes inkjet technology to directly transfer designs or images onto fabric. This method is highly versatile, allowing for precise, high-quality prints with intricate designs and vibrant colors. It uses specialized inkjet printers that apply liquid ink droplets to the fabric in a controlled manner.
The main types of digital inkjet printing on textiles include direct-to-garment (DTG) printing, direct-to-fabric printing, dye sublimation printing, and care label printing. DTG printing is a process that employs specialized inkjet technology to print detailed designs directly onto textiles, providing higher precision than traditional methods such as screen printing. These technologies, including inkjet and digital printing, are used on various textile types such as clothing, decorative fabrics, and industrial textiles, serving industries such as apparel, home furnishings, and automotive.
