DIGITAL PRINTING DEVICE WITH IMPROVED PRE-PRINTING TEXTILE SURFACE TREATMENT

摘要

A digital printing machine prints textiles. The machine comprises a wetting unit for wetting fabric to be printed prior to printing, a printing head for printing on said fabric and a flattening unit located between the wetting unit and the printing head for exerting pressure on the fabric to flatten outwardly extending fibers of the fabric after wetting and before printing. The flattening provides a smoothed surface for digital printing.
