Xaar’s drupa presentation on textile inkjet printing

Xaar, an inkjet innovator, providing printheads and technologies for OEM and UDI customers worldwide, is inviting visitors at drupa to hear how the latest inkjet technologies are rewriting the rulebook for textile printing in a presentation to be made as part of the show’s touchpoint textile forum.

Speaking on June 3 in hall 4, Karl Forbes, the Xaar group’s R&D director, will show how its Aquinox printhead, utilizing Xaar’s Ultra High Viscosity printing and patented High Laydown Technology, is transforming productivity in digital textile printing.

Chemists at Nazdar were able to produce a new fluid technology that can deliver clarity and high pigment loading while simultaneously reducing the use of raw materials and energy costs. Vibrant, color-rich textiles can now be achieved by using half the traditional amount of ink and printhead passes, delivering significant machine productivity savings.

Notably, Nazdar’s new HighV Aqua Series includes a high viscosity white ink, which when coupled with the TF Technology embedded within Xaar’s Aquinox printhead, provides customers with quality textile printing at an efficiency that was previously unmatched.

Drupa will also see Xaar technology across the show – including its recent collaboration with Koenig & Bauer Kammann (Kammann) to create personalized embossed effects on glass bottles, plastic and metal containers at a build height of up to 3mm. Utilizing Xaar’s Nitrox printheads with new high viscosity fluids developed by global ink manufacturer Marabu, Kammann’s machines can jet at greater viscosity and carry a significantly increased pigment load, delivering more color vibrancy and capturing fine details with up to 50 per cent less ink. 

Colors no longer need pinning, delivering significant savings in the time required for printing, as well as reductions in energy and material use. Overall, the speed of production can be more than doubled, making inkjet printing a greater reality for a much wider variety of decorative applications.

Commenting on the exhibition, Karl Forbes said, “drupa is the perfect show for visitors to hear how Xaar’s inkjet technology is enabling the development of new fluids and providing access to the many potential benefits of digital printing.

“From UV inks requiring less curing energy to aqueous inks containing high pigment loading and a lower ratio of water, inkjet is now able to deliver the performance, sustainability and innovation demanded, rewriting the rulebook for textile printing and many other applications.”

"Eco-solvent inks in 2024: sustainability and high quality change the printing industry"

In an era where environmental concerns are at the forefront, the emergence of eco-solvent ink represents a significant milestone in the printing industry.

Unlike its counterparts, UV and water-based inks, eco-solvent ink is a composition of non-toxic solvents and natural pigments.

Please take note: a remarkable 50% of its components derive from renewable resources. With a minimal volatile organic compound (VOC) content, this ink is virtually odorless.

The Birth of Eco-Solvent Ink:

Since the advent of inkjet printers in the 1990s, the ink industry has grappled with toxicity, irritation, and high pollution.

However, through three generations of technological evolution and the relentless efforts of scientists, the printing world has been introduced to a game-changer – the non-toxic, non-irritating, and odorless eco-solvent ink. It signifies the industry's definitive break from the stigma of high pollution associated with traditional printing practices.

Cost Control and Print Quality of Eco-Solvent Ink:

The high cost of traditional inks has long been a bone of contention in the printing industry. Eco-solvent ink has opened a window of opportunity, epitomized by the phrase “a long slope with thick snow.” The substantial investment required yields a steady and stable return. Boasting excellent adhesion and vibrant color, eco-solvent ink has solidified its position in an era where print quality is a critical differentiator.

Applications of Eco-Solvent Ink:

A chasm exists between traditional inks and eco-solvent inks in the industry. The market for eco-solvent inks spans a wide range, from outdoor billboards to textile banners and car stickers, showcasing its boundless adaptability. It also defines the contours of modern printing practices:

Indoor and outdoor advertising and signage printing Automobile body stickers and wraps Industrial labeling and packaging printing Textile and eco-friendly fabric printing

(Alison Elizabeth Taylor, “Anthony Cuts under the Williamsburg Bridge, Morning”, 2020 Marquetry hybrid (wood veneers, oil paint, acrylic paint, inkjet prints, shellac, and sawdust on wood)

Currently at Orlando Museum of Art is The Outwin: American Portraiture Today, an impressive collection of work in a variety of mediums.

From the museum’s website-

Launched in 2006 to support the next wave of contemporary portraiture in the United States, the National Portrait Gallery’s celebrated triennial Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition is a major survey of the best American portraiture selected by internationally prominent jurors and curators. Now in its sixth edition, The Outwin: American Portraiture Today presents 42 works selected from over 2,700 entries, that foreground the vibrancy and relevance of portraiture today. In addition to paintings, photographs, drawings, and sculptures, The Outwin includes video, performance art, and textiles, highlighting the limitless possibilities of contemporary portraiture.

Open to both emerging and established artists, this year’s entrants were encouraged to submit work that moves beyond traditional definitions of portraiture, and to explore a portrait’s ability to engage with the social and political landscape of our time. The variety of media and subjects featured in the exhibition invite audiences of all backgrounds to find relation in the human experience.

Since its inception, finalists for the exhibition have been determined by a panel of jurors including three Portrait Gallery staff members and four external professionals (critics, art historians, artists). The competition is endowed by and named for Virginia Outwin Boochever (1920 – 2005) who, for 19 years, volunteered as a docent at the Portrait Gallery. Her commitment to advancing the art of portraiture is continued through the support of her children.

Below are a selection of works from the show and information about them from the museum.

Alison Elizabeth Taylor– Anthony Cuts under the Williamsburg Bridge, Morning, 2020 (pictured above)

On walks around her Brooklyn neighborhood during the COVID-19 lockdowns, Alison Elizabeth Taylor encountered the hair groomer Anthony Payne, who,with his workplace shuttered, had taken his scissors, mirror, and chair to the streets. Payne sought to financially support the Black Lives Matter movement, especially in the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder, and turned over proceeds from his donation-based haircuts to organizations advocating for social justice.

Taylor’s process, one she developed and named “marquetry hybrid,” incorporates vivid paints, inkjet prints, and the natural grains of over one hundred veneers. Marquetry, with its inlaid combination of woods, can “memorialize,” Taylor notes. She acknowledges the history of the craft, which was favored by Louis XIV (1654-1715) when he was acquiring furniture for Versailles. By giving Payne this “royal treatment,” Taylor aims to pay tribute to him. ”I want him to see how much his example meant to me,” she explained.

Kira Nam Greene– Kyung’s Gift in Pojagi (From the series “Women in Possession of Good Fortune”), 2019, Oil, gouache, colored pencil, and acrylic ink on canvas

In this mixed-media work, by Kira Nam Greene, the artist Kyung Jeon faces us with relaxed self-assurance. She is carefully positioned on her couch as her long black hair falls over her orange and turquoise tunic. In the foreground, a wooden cylinder containing paint brushes reveals her medium of choice. A plate with persimmons, consumed during the harvest festival Chuseok to celebrate good fortune, brims with potential while the rest of the painting pulsates with action.

Greene situates her friend in a fantasy world that echoes Jeon’s artwork and their mutual interest in the traditional Korean fabric quilting technique of pojagi. Two rabbits, representing Jeon’s Chinese zodiac, appear to be concocting a potion. Flowers sprout as kaleidoscopic patterns envelop her. The reference to pojagi, the visible paint drips in the background painting, and the hands of the sitter- left unfinished- invoke the role of tradition, process, and exploration in artmaking.

Stuart Robertson–  Self Portrait of the Artist from the Out and Bad series, 2020, Aluminum, earth, acrylic paint, enamel, paper,metallic bubble wrap, sequins, and gold foil on wood

“In my world, skin is high-tech, amorphous, and armored,” the artist Stuart Robertson observes. “Blackness is percussive, lustrous, flexible, and indestructible.” Self-Portrait of the Artist depicts a fragment of a man- half of his face and his upper torso-shiny and monumental. A black beard delineates his jaw, and a small gold hoop adorns his ear. Although the figure is cropped beyond recognition, the work’s title provides a clue.

Through the alternation of flat and repoussé aluminum sheets, Robertson achieves a hypnotic effect, a poignant tension playing on what he reveals or hides from us viewers. His refusal to depict his entire face or figure challenges the notion of what a portrait should be and blocks the objectification of the Black male body, so often sexualized in visual culture. Simultaneously, Robertson delivers an irrepressible, resplendent image of that body, one inspired by the aesthetics of Jamaica’s dancehall culture.

Vincent Valdez– People of the Sun (Grandma and Grandpa Santana), 2019, Oil on canvas

An elderly couple faces us with the gentle authority that old age provides. People of the Sun (Grandma and Grandpa Santana) is a portrait of Vincent Valdez’s maternal grandparents. “My grandparents spent most of their time outside,” the artist recalled. “Grandpa spent his entire life working under the blazing Texas sun as a carpenter and yard worker, cutting lawns in the wealthy communities of San Antonio right up until he passed away. Grandma was constantly working with her hands–raising kids, washing, sewing clothes, and tending the plants in her yard.”

The Santanas are depicted in a space defined by details the artist remembers: their vintage AM radio, their plants, their homemade clothes. The bedsheet, like the Virgen de Guadalupe’s aura, signals their spiritual role in the family. This portrait connects the pair to the Indigenous and mestizo cultures of the American Southwest, including the Aztec and Maya, who honored the sun.

Elsa María Meléndez–  Milk, 2020, Canvas with silkscreen, embroidery, ink, and other textiles

Elsa María Meléndez routinely crosses the boundaries between artistic mediums in large-scale artworks that command space and attention. Combining silkscreen, drawing, and various needlework techniques, Milk portrays the artist charging forward, determined. She carries a limp bull and advances while her breasts drip glistening drops of milk.

Created six months into the COVID-19 lockdown, this artwork encapsulates Meléndez’s reflection on the fight for gender equality in Puerto Rico. As people went into quarantine, gender violence escalated around the world. In Puerto Rico, where femicides increased substantially, feminist organizations took to the streets, demanding that the government declare a state of emergency. They received the scorn of substantial sectors of society, across gender lines. In response, Meléndez created Milk, an icon of indomitability that recognizes the strength of women and their life-sustaining force while acknowledging their willingness to nurse the beast that sustains patriarchy.

Timothy Lee– A portrait of the comet boy as a bearer of memories, 2019, Silk, heat-transfer ink, gold leaf, and oil on canvas

In his practice, Timothy Lee investigates his struggles with anxiety, which he feels stem from his Asian American, queer, immigrant, and diasporic identities. Yet, while drawing from his personal narratives more broadly, Lee also attends to the disquieting complexities that are intrinsic to growing up as part of two cultures.

The ironic figure of the “comet boy,” visualized here as if emerging from a halo, is both an embrace of and a departure from the artist’s past. The dynamic interplay of light, shadow, and texture evince the layered nature of Lee’s inquiry. A keen attention to materials and precision, as evidenced by the incised cuts throughout much of the work’s surface, allude to the artist’s earlier scientific training. Snapshots of the artist’s childhood in South Korea emblazon the comet boy’s body. Memories, and with them the past, become part of the flesh, like tattoos.

Clarissa Bonet– Glimpse, 2019 from the City Space series, Inkjet print

The discovery of a figure amongst a grid of windows and vertical blinds conjures the disorienting situation of coming upon an unknown face peeking through a window. With that chance encounter comes the recognition that one is being watched, possibly even surveilled. Glimpse is part of a series that explores urban life, specifically the relationship between private and public spaces and the daily experiences of those traversing these areas, including those of the artist.

Though made before the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, for Clarissa Bonet, this photograph brings to mind the recent state of being “isolated from the public spaces we all used to enjoy freely.” The unidentified woman may be looking onto an unknown subject left out of the composition, or onto nothing at all.

Ilene Spiewak–  Deeper into the Isolation of Self Information and Gender, 2020, Acrylic paint and charcoal on canvas

For over fifty years, Ilene Spiewak has focused on the relations between color and visual space, painting at the edge of representation and abstraction. The introspection and solitude brought by the pandemic made her compositions more sparse and her palette more restrained. “I realized what I had in my studio was myself always. . .. I began to insert myself in my paintings more than I was conscious of in the past.”

In this self-portrait, Spiewak outlines her silhouette in charcoal. Her face and nude torso are rendered in soft shades of white, pink, and gray that push against the yellow background. With frankness, she paints her aging body, countering centuries of idealized, youthful, slender female nudes in art. By placing her figure off-center on the picture plane, with her right arm extended but truncated, Spiewak subtly allows us into the intimate act of observing and painting herself.

Inga Guzyte–  Cutting Edge, 2020, from the Kindred Spirits series, wood and used skateboards

Inga Guzyte recycles old skateboards, sawing and reassembling them into new sculptural configurations. Cutting Edge, a portrait of Alison Saar, is from Guzyte’s series “Kindred Spirits.” which honors women who have made their mark in the art world. The ethos of bravery and independence that is part of skateboard culture conveys the tenacity and perseverance of Guzyte’s role models.

Aptly made from reclaimed wood, a recurrent material in Saar’s sculptures and installations, this portrait stands between painting and sculpture. Saar’s expression evokes her fierceness and commitment to her practice. Her headdress points to her Afro-diasporic background, while its dynamic red and orange twists suggest her fiery creative energy. Like a flame, the headwrap attracts a multitude of moths, which recur in Saar’s work to signify a go- between for the real world and the spiritual world.

This exhibition is on view until 10/8/23.

3. Pigment Printing

Pigment printing involves using pigments that sit on the surface of the fabric rather than penetrating the fibers. This technique is versatile and can be used on various fabric types, including natural and synthetic materials.

Process: Pigments are applied to the fabric using a binder, which helps the pigments adhere to the surface. After printing, the fabric is cured with heat to fix the pigments in place.

Advantages: Pigment printing offers a wide color range and is suitable for various fabric types. It also requires less water and energy than other printing methods, making it a more sustainable option.

Applications: Pigment printing is popular in home textiles, fashion, and accessories, where versatility and eco-friendliness are essential.

4. UV Printing

UV printing is a cutting-edge technique that uses ultraviolet (UV) light to cure the ink as it is printed onto the fabric. This method offers high durability and is suitable for a wide range of materials, including textiles, glass, metal, and wood.

Process: UV ink is applied to the fabric and instantly cured using UV light, creating a strong bond between the ink and the material. This results in vibrant, durable prints with minimal drying time.

Advantages: UV printing produces high-quality, durable prints that are resistant to fading, scratching, and water. It also allows for printing on various surfaces, making it a versatile option for different applications.

Applications: UV printing is used in high-end fashion, accessories, and promotional products, where durability and print quality are paramount.

5. 3D Printing on Textiles

3D printing on textiles is an innovative technique that adds a new dimension to fabric design by creating raised, textured patterns. This method is still in its early stages but holds great potential for the future of textile design.

Process: 3D printing involves depositing layers of material (such as thermoplastic or silicone) onto the fabric to create a three-dimensional pattern. The process can be customized to produce various textures and effects.

Advantages: 3D printing on textiles allows for the creation of unique, tactile designs that are impossible to achieve with traditional methods. It also offers the possibility of integrating functional elements, such as sensors or conductive materials, into the fabric.

Applications: 3D printing on textiles is being explored in fashion, interior design, and wearable technology, where innovation and creativity are key drivers.

Printing: The design is digitally printed onto the garment using specialized pigment-based inks. These inks are formulated to be compatible with various fabric types.

Curing: The printed garment is heated in a curing chamber to set the ink and ensure long-lasting durability.

Advantages of DTG Printing

High-Quality Prints: DTG printing produces vibrant, detailed, and photorealistic prints with a wide color gamut.

Versatility: This method can be used on a variety of fabrics, including cotton, polyester, and blends.

Customization: DTG printing allows for unlimited customization options, including full-color designs, gradients, and intricate patterns.

Quick Turnaround: DTG printing often has a faster turnaround time compared to other printing methods.

Applications of DTG Printing

T-Shirts and Apparel: DTG printing is widely used for customizing t-shirts, hoodies, and other garments with unique designs and artwork.

Promotional Items: Businesses can use DTG printing to create branded merchandise, such as corporate apparel, promotional gifts, and event souvenirs.

Personalized Items: DTG printing is perfect for creating personalized gifts, such as family portraits, custom artwork, or commemorative items.

Fashion: Designers and fashion brands are utilizing DTG printing to create limited edition collections, sample garments, and prototypes.

In conclusion, DTG printing has revolutionized the way we customize textiles. Its ability to produce high-quality, versatile, and personalized prints has made it a popular choice for individuals, businesses, and the fashion industry.

Digital Printing on Fabric in Noida: Transforming Fashion and Textiles

In the heart of Noida, a city renowned for its industrial prowess and burgeoning tech scene, a new wave of creativity and innovation is sweeping through the textile industry. Digital printing on fabric is not just a trend; it’s a revolution that's redefining fashion and textile design. If you're curious about how this technology is making waves in Noida and why it’s such a game-changer, you’re in the right place.

What is Digital Fabric Printing?

Digital fabric printing is a process where digital designs are printed directly onto fabric using inkjet technology. Unlike traditional screen printing, which requires creating physical screens for each color and design, digital printing involves a digital file sent directly to the printer. This allows for high-resolution prints, intricate designs, and an almost limitless range of colors.

Why Noida?

Noida, part of the National Capital Region (NCR) of India, is a hub for both technology and manufacturing. This combination has created a fertile ground for digital fabric printing technologies to thrive. Here’s why Noida is becoming a go-to destination for digital fabric printing:

Proximity to Fashion Hubs: Noida’s location near Delhi, a major fashion and textile hub, provides easy access to designers, retailers, and suppliers. This proximity fosters a collaborative environment where digital printing can be seamlessly integrated into the fashion industry.

Technological Advancements: With its growing IT and tech infrastructure, Noida is well-equipped to support advanced digital printing technologies. Local companies are adopting cutting-edge printers and software, driving innovation in the textile sector.

Skilled Workforce: Noida boasts a skilled workforce adept in both technical and creative domains. This talent pool supports the digital printing industry with expertise in design, operation, and maintenance.

Cost-Effective Production: Digital printing offers cost advantages for smaller runs and custom designs. In a competitive market like Noida, these cost benefits are significant for both local designers and international clients.

Benefits of Digital Printing on Fabric

Customization and Flexibility: Digital printing allows for high levels of customization, from bespoke designs for boutique fashion lines to unique home decor items. This flexibility is ideal for both large-scale productions and limited-edition pieces.

High-Resolution Prints: With digital printing, designers can achieve incredibly detailed and vibrant prints. This is a game-changer for fashion designers and home decor brands aiming for high-quality visual impact.

Eco-Friendly: Digital printing often uses water-based inks, which are less harmful to the environment compared to traditional printing methods. Additionally, it reduces waste by only using the amount of ink needed for each print.

Quick Turnaround: The speed of digital printing means faster production times. This is particularly beneficial for responding to fast fashion trends and seasonal collections.

Lower Setup Costs: Unlike traditional methods that require extensive setup and screen creation, digital printing involves minimal setup costs, making it accessible for smaller businesses and independent designers.

The Future of Digital Fabric Printing in Noida

The future of digital fabric printing in Noida looks promising. As technology continues to evolve, we can expect even more innovative applications, such as 3D printing on fabrics and advanced textile materials that respond to digital designs in new ways. The integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning could also further enhance design capabilities and production efficiency.

Local businesses are increasingly adopting digital printing technologies, and educational institutions in Noida are beginning to offer specialized programs in textile design and digital printing. This will ensure a steady stream of skilled professionals ready to push the boundaries of what's possible in the textile industry.

Conclusion

Digital fabric printing in Noida is more than just a technological advancement; it’s a transformative force in the fashion and textile sectors. With its blend of technological infrastructure, skilled workforce, and strategic location, Noida is well-positioned to lead the charge in this exciting field. Whether you’re a designer, manufacturer, or consumer, digital printing offers a new world of possibilities in textile design and production. Keep an eye on Noida—it’s a city where the future of fabric printing is being written today.

Fabric Printing in Ontario: A Blend of Tradition and Innovation

Introduction to Fabric Printing in Ontario

Fabric printing has become a vibrant and innovative industry in Ontario, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. This sector is not only a hub for creative expression but also a significant contributor to the local economy, offering a wide array of options for designers, businesses, and consumers alike. From artisanal techniques to cutting-edge digital processes, Ontario’s fabric printing industry is a fascinating mix of the old and new.

Brief History of Fabric Printing in Ontario

The origins of Custom Fabric Printing in Ontario date back to the early textile mills, where the art began as a small-scale craft before evolving into the dynamic industry it is today. In the 19th century, Ontario’s textile industry was largely driven by the need for practical, durable fabrics. However, as the province grew and diversified, so did its textile industry, leading to the development of more sophisticated and decorative fabric printing techniques. Today, Ontario is recognized for its unique blend of historical techniques and contemporary innovations, making it a leader in the textile printing field.

Types of Fabric Printing Techniques Used in Ontario

Ontario’s fabric printing industry showcases a wide range of techniques, from screen printing to digital methods, each offering unique benefits for designers and consumers. Whether you’re looking for bold, vibrant designs or subtle, intricate patterns, there’s a fabric printing method in Ontario that can meet your needs.

Screen Printing Screen printing remains one of the most popular methods in Ontario, known for its durability and vibrant color reproduction. This technique involves creating a stencil (or screen) and using it to apply layers of ink on the fabric. It’s particularly favored for large orders and designs that require strong, opaque colors.

Digital Printing Digital printing is gaining traction in Ontario, providing flexibility and precision for intricate designs on various fabrics. Unlike screen printing, digital printing doesn’t require screens or stencils, making it ideal for small runs or custom designs. This method uses inkjet technology to print directly onto the fabric, offering a fast turnaround and the ability to reproduce complex images with a high level of detail.

Sublimation Printing Sublimation printing offers a specialized approach in Ontario, ideal for creating long-lasting prints on synthetic fabrics. This method uses heat to transfer dye onto the fabric, resulting in a print that is embedded into the fabric rather than sitting on top of it. The result is a vibrant, durable design that won’t fade, crack, or peel over time, making it perfect for activewear, sports jerseys, and other high-performance clothing.

Key Players in Ontario’s Fabric Printing Industry

Ontario is home to a diverse range of fabric printing companies, from small boutique studios to large-scale commercial operations, all contributing to the province’s rich textile landscape. Notable companies include local print shops that specialize in custom designs, as well as larger firms that produce fabrics for major fashion brands and retailers. These businesses are known for their commitment to quality, innovation, and customer service, making Ontario a go-to destination for fabric printing.

Sustainability in Fabric Printing

As environmental consciousness grows, Ontario’s fabric printing industry is increasingly focusing on sustainable practices, from eco-friendly inks to organic fabrics. Many companies are adopting water-based inks that reduce harmful chemical use and are safer for both the environment and workers. Additionally, there is a growing trend toward using recycled and organic materials, which not only reduce waste but also appeal to environmentally conscious consumers. Ontario’s fabric printing industry is proving that it’s possible to be both innovative and sustainable, setting a standard for the global textile market.

Innovations and Trends in Ontario’s Fabric Printing

The fabric printing industry in Ontario is at the forefront of innovation, embracing new technologies and trends that are shaping the future of textile design. Digital printing, for instance, is revolutionizing the way fabrics are produced, allowing for greater customization and faster production times. Additionally, there’s a growing interest in combining traditional techniques with modern technology to create unique, hybrid methods of fabric printing. The integration of digital tools with age-old practices is resulting in designs that are both fresh and rooted in history, appealing to a wide range of tastes and preferences.

Challenges Faced by the Fabric Printing Industry in Ontario

Despite its growth, the fabric printing industry in Ontario faces challenges such as competition from overseas markets and the high cost of raw materials. The global textile industry is highly competitive, with many countries offering lower production costs. This puts pressure on Ontario’s fabric printers to innovate and differentiate themselves to stay competitive. Additionally, the rising cost of materials, particularly for sustainable options, can make it challenging for local businesses to maintain profitability while also meeting the demand for eco-friendly products.

The Future of Fabric Printing in Ontario

Looking ahead, Ontario’s fabric printing industry is poised for continued growth, driven by advancements in technology and a commitment to sustainability. As consumer demand for customized, high-quality, and eco-friendly fabrics increases, Ontario’s fabric printers are well-positioned to lead the charge. The future of fabric printing in Ontario will likely see even more innovation, with new techniques and materials emerging that push the boundaries of what’s possible in textile design.

Conclusion

Fabric printing in Ontario is more than just a craft; it’s a reflection of the province’s creativity, innovation, and dedication to quality in the textile industry. From its rich history to its cutting-edge technologies, Ontario’s fabric printing industry continues to evolve, offering endless possibilities for designers and consumers alike. Whether you’re in the market for custom prints, exploring sustainable options, or simply interested in the art of fabric printing, Ontario is a vibrant and dynamic place to be.

The question of blur has been a problem that plagues dispersed ink printing. This will not only affect the pattern of the product but also damage your brand phenomenon and leave a bad impression on others.

What causes blur in dispersed printing?

The fabric is too absorbent: If the fabric is highly absorbent, the ink will be quickly absorbed and diffused as soon as it contacts the fabric, resulting in blurred edges of the pattern.

Poor compatibility with ink and fabric: The chemical properties of the dispersed ink do not match the fiber type of the fabric, which may cause the ink not to be well fixed on the fabric, causing blurring.be well fixed on the fabric, causing blurring.

The ink fluidity is too high: If the viscosity and fluidity of the ink are too high, it is easy to diffuse on the fabric's surface, causing blurring.

The printing nozzle is clogged: The pressure of the nozzle is too high, causing the ink to drip too fast.

Drying problem: If the ink dries too slowly, this will cause excessive diffusion of the ink on the textile, thereby contaminating the textile.

Improper distance between the print head and the fabric: If the distance between the print head and the fabric is too close or too far, it may affect the jetting effect of the ink droplets and cause ink halting.

Printing speed: Printing too fast may cause the ink to not dry in time, while printing too slow may cause the ink to accumulate on the fabric, which may cause ink haloing.

Matching of ink and substrate: Dispersed ink is prone to ink haloing on natural fibers.

How should I deal with the dispersed ink blur phenomenon?

Adjust the corresponding ink formula and change the type of ink

Select the ink type and formula suitable for specific fabrics.

Don't waste your time and money on printers that can't deliver the quality and efficiency you need. Read on to discover the ultimate guide to choosing the best thermal inkjet printer for your printing needs.

Advantages of thermal inkjet printers

Thermal inkjet printers have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their numerous advantages over traditional printing technologies. One of the primary benefits of thermal inkjet printers is their exceptional print quality. These printers use advanced ink technology to produce crisp, detailed, and vibrant images with a high resolution, making them ideal for a wide range of applications, from professional-grade documents to high-quality marketing materials.

Another key advantage of thermal inkjet printers is their versatility. These printers can handle a variety of media, including paper, cardboard, plastic, and even fabric, allowing you to print on a diverse range of materials to suit your specific needs. This flexibility is particularly valuable for businesses that require the ability to print on different substrates, such as product packaging, labels, or textiles.

Thermal inkjet printers are also known for their efficiency and cost-effectiveness. They typically have a lower cost per page compared to other printing technologies, making them a more economical choice, especially for high-volume printing. Additionally, these printers often have a smaller footprint and lower energy consumption, which can translate to significant savings on operating costs over time.

Types of Thermal Inkjet Printers

When it comes to thermal inkjet printers, there are several different types to choose from, each with its own unique features and capabilities. One of the most common types is the desktop thermal inkjet printer, which is designed for personal or small office use. These printers are compact, easy to set up, and often come with a range of connectivity options, such as USB, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, making them a convenient choice for users who need to print from a variety of devices.

Another type of thermal inkjet printer is the wide-format printer, which is designed for larger printing tasks, such as posters, banners, and technical drawings. These printers can handle a wider range of media sizes and often offer higher print resolutions and faster print speeds than their desktop counterparts. Wide-format thermal inkjet printers are commonly used in industries like advertising, architecture, and engineering, where high-quality, large-format printing is a necessity.

In addition to desktop and wide-format printers, there are also specialized thermal inkjet printers designed for specific applications, such as industrial coding and marking. These printers are built to withstand harsh environments and are often used in manufacturing, logistics, and other industrial settings to print barcodes, expiration dates, and other critical information on products and packaging. These printers are known for their durability, reliability, and ability to print on a wide range of materials, making them an essential tool for many businesses.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Thermal Inkjet Printer

When it comes to choosing the best thermal inkjet printer for your business, there are several key factors to consider to ensure you make the right decision. One of the most important factors is print resolution, which determines the level of detail and sharpness in your printed output. Higher print resolutions, such as 1200 dpi or more, are typically preferred for applications that require high-quality images or precise text, such as marketing materials or technical documents.

Another crucial factor to consider is print speed, which can vary significantly between different thermal inkjet printer models. If you have a high-volume printing workload, you'll want to look for a printer that can deliver fast print speeds, typically measured in pages per minute (ppm) or inches per second (ips). This can help you save time and increase productivity, especially for time-sensitive printing tasks.

Connectivity options are also an important consideration when choosing a thermal inkjet printer. Many modern printers offer a range of connectivity options, including USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, allowing you to print from a variety of devices, including desktops, laptops, smartphones, and tablets. This flexibility can be particularly useful for businesses with multiple users or remote employees who need to access the printer from different locations.

Understanding Printer Specifications and Features

When evaluating thermal inkjet printers, it's crucial to understand the various specifications and features that can impact the performance and suitability of the printer for your specific needs. One key specification to consider is the printer's duty cycle, which refers to the maximum recommended monthly print volume. This can help you determine whether the printer can handle your expected printing workload without compromising its lifespan or performance.

Another important feature to look for is the printer's ink compatibility. Thermal inkjet printers typically use either dye-based or pigment-based inks, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Dye-based inks are known for their vivid colors and smooth gradients, making them a good choice for photo printing, while pigment-based inks are more water-resistant and durable, making them a better option for industrial or outdoor applications. Ensuring that the printer you choose is compatible with the type of ink you require can help you achieve the desired print quality and durability.

Additionally, consider the printer's media handling capabilities, such as the maximum paper size, paper weight, and media types it can accommodate. This is particularly important if you need to print on a variety of materials, such as labels, foils, or specialized substrates. Some thermal inkjet printers also offer advanced features like automatic duplexing (two-sided printing) or built-in finishing options, which can further enhance the printer's capabilities and efficiency.

The Future of Custom Direct to Garment Printing: Innovations and Applications

Direct to Garment (DTG) printing is a cutting-edge technique that has revolutionized the textile printing industry by changing how designs are printed onto fabric. With its unparalleled quality and versatility, DTG printing is a popular option for custom garments and other textile products, in contrast to traditional printing methods. This blog explores the many facets of custom direct to garment printing, its uses, and why it’s quickly taking the lead among individuals and companies.

Direct To Garment Printing

Direct to Garment (DTG) printing is a method that uses specialized inkjet technology to print digital images directly onto textiles. High-resolution prints with fine details and brilliant colors are possible with this technique. DTG is perfect for personalized clothes since it can print multicolored graphics in a single pass, unlike screen printing, which needs a separate screen for each hue.

Custom Direct to Garment Printing: Personalization at Its Best

The capacity of bespoke direct to garment printing to produce individualized designs rapidly and effectively is one of its biggest benefits. DTG printing may meet all of your needs, whether you want to print a one-of-a-kind t-shirt for a special occasion, a personalized gift, or branded clothing for your company. There are no minimum order requirements when printing on demand, which increases flexibility and decreases waste.

Direct to Garment T-Shirt Printing: A Popular Choice

Maybe the most common product for DTG printing is t-shirts. The method works flawlessly for producing personalized t-shirts with intricate designs, photos, and graphics. Because the ink is absorbed into the fabric rather than sitting on top of it, direct-to-garment t-shirt printing guarantees that the finished product is gentle to the touch. This produces a washable, long-lasting print that is suitable for frequent usage.

Expanding Horizons: Direct to Garment Printing on Polyester and Cotton

Although cotton fabrics are typically thought of when discussing DTG printing, technological developments have allowed for the printing of designs on a wide range of materials, including polyester. Sportswear, activewear, and other synthetic items have new possibilities thanks to direct-to-garment printing on polyester. Polyester is not absorbent, therefore printing on it can be more difficult, but with the right inks and pre-treatment techniques, it is now possible to print on polyester with good results.

Contrarily, cotton is still a top choice for DTG printing because of its inherent absorbency and capacity to retain brilliant colors. Cotton direct to garment printing yields crisp, high-quality prints, which makes it perfect for everyday clothing and promotional goods.

Beyond Clothing: Direct to Garment Printing on Textiles and Towels

DTG printing is not limited to using it on t-shirts and other apparel. Direct to garment printing makes it possible to create distinctive, individualized products that stand out on fabrics like pillowcases, canvas bags, and home decor items. This technique can make complex designs come to life on a variety of objects made of fabric.

Towels printed directly to clothes are another creative use of this technology. Personalized towels with unique patterns, emblems, or words are ideal as presents, business giveaways, or branding accessories. Although the great absorbency of towel cloth presents a special difficulty, DTG printing may provide stunning, long-lasting effects when done correctly.

The Benefits of Custom DTG Printing

Superior Print Quality: DTG printing provides very good print quality. Because the inks are absorbed into the fabric, the finish is smooth and resistant to peeling or cracking over time. This is especially crucial for bespoke clothing that will be worn and laundered regularly.

Versatility: The possibilities for custom DTG printing are endless. Various materials, such as cotton, polyester, and mixes, can be printed on it. This adaptability may be found in various goods, including towels, tote bags, sweatshirts, and t-shirts.

No Minimum Order Quantity: Custom DTG printing’s ability to accommodate tiny, on-demand print runs is one of its biggest benefits. This lowers waste and costs because you may order a custom t-shirt or a batch of 100 without worrying about minimum order requirements.

Eco-Friendly: Compared to conventional plastisol inks, DTG printing employs water-based inks, which are less damaging to the environment. Furthermore, because DTG printing is done only when needed, waste is kept to a minimum because only the necessary quantities are generated.

Applications of DTG Printing

DTG printing is a popular option in a variety of areas due to its wide range of applications:

Custom fashion: DTG printing is a popular method for producing custom t-shirts, hoodies, and other fashion products, and it is utilized by both huge internet stores and tiny boutique firms. Because one-off designs may be printed on it, it’s ideal for personalized presents and distinctive items.

Promotional Products: Businesses frequently create branded tote bags, caps, and mouse pads using DTG printing. These things are frequently sold as company merchandising, given out at events, or worn as uniforms by employees.

Fashion and Art: DTG printing is a tool used by artists and fashion designers to print their creations onto textiles. Artists can provide their audience with wearable art because of the high detail and vivid colors that enable the exact reproduction of the artwork.

Textile Customization: DTG printing is utilized in home décor products such as personalized towels, curtains, and pillowcases in addition to clothing. The options for personalized home items are virtually limitless when it comes to printing directly onto a range of materials.

Custom Direct To Garment Printing

Maybe the most common item for custom DTG printing is t-shirts. The method works flawlessly for producing personalized t-shirts with intricate designs, photos, and graphics. Because the ink is absorbed into the fabric rather than sitting on top of it, custom DTG t-shirt printing guarantees that the finished product is gentle to the touch. This produces a washable, long-lasting print that is suitable for frequent usage.

Expanding Horizons: DTG Printing on Different Fabrics

Although cotton fabrics are usually thought of when DTG printing is mentioned, modern technology allows for the printing of a wide range of materials, including mixes and polyester. Every type of fabric has different advantages and difficulties.

Cotton: Sharp, high-quality prints can be achieved using direct-to-garment printing on cotton. Cotton is the perfect medium for vivid colors and intricate designs due to its inherent absorbency.

Polyester: Because polyester is not absorbent, direct-to-garment printing on it presents greater difficulties. Nonetheless, it is now possible to achieve good results with specific inks and pre-treatment procedures. This creates new opportunities for activewear, sportswear, and other synthetic clothing.

Blends and Other Textiles: Canvas bags, pillows, and home décor items may all be made with custom DTG printing on blended fabrics and other textiles. Because of its adaptability, distinctive, individualized goods may be made that make a statement.

Maybe the most common item for custom DTG printing is t-shirts. The method works flawlessly for producing personalized t-shirts with intricate designs, photos, and graphics. Because the ink is absorbed into the fabric rather than sitting on top of it, custom direct to garment printing guarantees that the finished product is gentle to the touch. This produces a washable, long-lasting print that is suitable for frequent usage.

Beyond Clothing: Custom DTG Printing on Towels and Other Products

Beyond t-shirts and apparel, custom DTG printing is incredibly versatile. Towels with custom DTG printing are yet another creative use of this technology. Personalized towels with unique patterns, emblems, or words are ideal as presents, business giveaways, or branding accessories. Although the great absorbency of towel cloth presents a special difficulty, DTG printing may provide stunning, long-lasting effects when done correctly.

The Environmental Impact of Custom DTG Printing

The environmental effect of manufacturing processes is an important factor to take into account in today’s eco-conscious world. Custom DTG printing is a more environmentally friendly option for printing than conventional techniques. Because DTG printing is digital, it uses no screens or plates, which means less waste. Furthermore, compared to plastisol inks used in screen printing, water-based inks used in DTG are less damaging to the environment.

Custom DTG printing is also on-demand, which means that only the necessary numbers are produced—thereby cutting down on waste and overproduction. We may anticipate even more environmentally friendly developments in DTG technology as the sector keeps innovating.

The Future of Custom DTG Printing

Custom DTG printing appears to have a bright future thanks to ongoing developments in materials and technology. The potential of DTG is growing thanks to advancements in ink formulas, printing methods, and fabric treatments. In the textile and garment business, DTG printing is expected to become more significant as the need for customized and personalized items rises.

Another fascinating trend is the incorporation of DTG printing with online platforms and e-commerce. These days, customers may create their products online, print them, and have them delivered right to their door. The way we think about custom clothing and textile printing is being revolutionized by this smooth fusion of technology and business.

Direct to Garment Printing in Lagos: A Growing Industry

DTG printing’s widespread use has prompted its acceptance in several places, including Lagos, Nigeria. In Lagos, direct-to-garment printing is becoming more popular as people and companies look for high-quality, adaptable printing options. The dynamic metropolis offers an ideal environment for the development of the DTG sector, meeting demands ranging from corporate branding to fashion.

To satisfy the growing demand for personalized clothing and other printed goods, local businesses in Lagos are making more and more investments in DTG technology. DTG printing is a desirable choice for both new and existing businesses due to its affordability and capacity to create customized designs and small batches.

The Evolution of Digital Printing: Transforming the World of Print Media

Digital printing has revolutionized the print industry, offering unprecedented flexibility, quality, and efficiency. As technology advances, digital printing has become a staple in both commercial and personal projects, shaping the way we produce and interact with printed materials. This blog delves into the evolution of digital printing, its benefits, and its impact on various sectors.

Understanding Digital Printing

Digital printing refers to methods of printing that involve transferring digital files directly onto a variety of media. Unlike traditional printing techniques such as offset or screen printing, digital printing doesn’t require the creation of plates or screens. Instead, it uses digital files—like PDFs or images—and prints them directly onto paper, fabric, or other substrates. Common digital printing methods include inkjet and laser printing.

Advantages of Digital Printing

High-Quality Output

One of the most significant benefits of digital printing is the high quality of the final product. Modern digital printers offer sharp, vibrant colors and fine detail, rivaling or even surpassing traditional methods. This high resolution is particularly beneficial for producing marketing materials, promotional items, and high-end publications where quality is paramount.

Customization and Personalization

Digital printing excels in customization. Unlike traditional methods that are cost-effective only for large runs, digital printing allows for economical short runs and personalized prints. This means businesses can produce materials tailored to individual customers, such as personalized direct mail pieces or custom merchandise, without incurring excessive costs.

Fast Turnaround Times

The absence of setup times and the straightforward nature of digital printing mean that projects can be completed quickly. This speed is crucial in industries that require rapid response and fast production, such as marketing and event planning. Whether it’s a last-minute promotional flyer or a custom-printed banner, digital printing delivers results in record time.

Cost Efficiency

Digital printing is often more cost-effective for small to medium-sized print runs compared to traditional methods. There are no setup fees or plate costs, which makes it an attractive option for businesses and individuals looking to print smaller quantities without compromising on quality. Additionally, digital printing reduces waste by only printing what is needed.

Versatility

Digital printing technology supports a wide range of media and substrates, from traditional paper and cardboard to more unconventional materials like fabric, plastic, and metal. This versatility opens up endless possibilities for creative projects, including custom packaging, unique promotional items, and personalized gifts.

Applications of Digital Printing

Marketing and Advertising

In marketing and advertising, digital printing is used for producing brochures, flyers, posters, and banners. The ability to quickly produce high-quality materials and personalize content makes digital printing a powerful tool for engaging audiences and promoting brands effectively.

Packaging

Digital printing has also made significant inroads into the packaging industry. Companies can now create custom packaging designs in short runs, allowing for more frequent updates and personalized packaging solutions. This flexibility helps brands stand out on the shelves and respond to market trends more swiftly.

Textiles and Apparel

In the fashion and textiles industry, digital printing is used to create custom fabrics and garments. Designers can print intricate patterns and vibrant colors directly onto textiles, enabling rapid prototyping and customization in fashion collections.

Personalized Products

Digital printing has paved the way for a booming market of personalized products. From custom phone cases to personalized home décor, digital printing allows for the creation of unique, one-of-a-kind items tailored to individual preferences.

Conclusion

Digital printing has transformed the print industry, offering unmatched quality, efficiency, and flexibility. Its ability to produce high-quality, customized, and cost-effective prints has made it a preferred choice for a wide range of applications, from marketing materials to personalized products. As technology continues to advance, digital printing will undoubtedly play an even more significant role in shaping the future of print media. Whether for business or personal use, embracing digital printing technology opens up a world of possibilities for creativity and innovation. For more details visit our website: www.a-acesignco.com
