Intelligent and flexible pre-treatment systems for digital printing on textiles

摘要

Digital printing on textiles has experienced a quantum leap in recent years, recording annual growth rates of approx. 25%. As a result of enhanced flexibility, rapid adaptation to fashion trends, unproblematic and reproducible patterns, economies in the use of water and disposal of waste water as well as the elimination of costly stencils and their storage, digital printing has taken on ever greater importance. Furthermore, a design change in digital printing can be implemented without significant waste or setup time. New machine concepts with high print resolution allow print speeds of up to 80 m/min (single-pass machines) or up to 10m/min (multi-pass machines) and print widths of up to 6 m.
