Digital Direct-to-Fabric Printer is a procedure that uses specialized aqueous inkjet technology to print on textiles. The print head of Digital Direct-to-Fabric Printers typically uses a platen to hold the cloth in place while the printer inks are jetted or sprayed onto it.
The garment must normally be pre-treated using a PTM or pre-treatment machine for DTG in order to allow for a stronger connection between the colored inks and fabric fibers, and lays down loose fibers to create a substrate that is smoother.
The print is clearer and has a greater resolution, or DPI, than traditional printing techniques like screen printing because this is a digital process.
A special curing procedure is necessary for the aqueous textile inks (water-based chemistry) used by Digital Direct-to-Fabric Printers.
D2 inks, which are water-based, print best on natural textiles including cotton, bamboo, hemp, and linen. Prior to printing, the garment is frequently given a pre-treatment.
The pre-treatment causes the fibers of the personalized t-shirt to lay flat when it is heat-pressed into the garment. The pre-treatment also enables a stronger bond between the water-based inks and the fabric. This is crucial when printing with white ink on dark clothing.
The custom garment, such as a t-shirt, is placed onto a platten system intended to hold the garment in place after it has been appropriately pre-treated. The design in the printer queue is then digitally printed on the shirt.
The Global Digital Direct-to-Fabric Printer market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Epson unveiled the Monna Lisa 8000, its first digital direct-to-fabric printer available in North America, in response to production print businesses’ ongoing need for cutting-edge approaches to digital textile printing.
The Monna Lisa 8000 (ML-8000) is the result of more than 20 years of research, development, and customer feedback. It combines precision engineering with cutting-edge design to enable printing on a variety of fabric types.
“Epson Monna Lisa printers have long maintained a strong reputation and market position in Italy where they have been used to digitally print fabrics for some of the biggest, most well-known high fashion brands in the world.
The Monna Lisa 8000 was created to offer the same excellent quality in a more cost-effective, user-friendly package, enabling North American businesses to print locally on a wide range of textiles for both short runs and big-volume orders.
