Digital textile printing is expanding due to rising consumer demand for eco-friendly printing options, quick turnaround times using digital printing technology, and trendy designs on garments and household goods.
With the aid of a computer and a process known as digital textile printing, or inkjet printing, fabric designs can be created and printed instantly, just like paper. This adaptable tool allows for quick changes to color or design components before to printing as well as mass customisation.
Digital printing has a number of advantages over traditional printing, including quick turnaround, quick setup and speed, affordability and considerable flexibility, consuming less time, the ability to make changes, etc. And in today's consumer-focused industry, printing technology is not just used for clothing; it also meets the demands for flags, banners, trade fair graphics, large-scale fabric posters of celebrities from television and film, and other items.
Advantages of Digital Printing:
provides cost-effective print runs and speedier manufacturing technology. Additionally, this procedure uses less water and dyes, demonstrating its environmental friendliness.
Digital printing is now used to create the most cutting-edge and imaginative designs, such as concepts for shadow, shimmering, vibration, reflection, moire, optical, translucent, netting, blurring, layering, and superimposing, without the need for specialized traditional printing techniques.
The key advantage of digital fabric printing is process color applications, which use the newest printers and software. With the most recent advancements in ink technology and color management software, greater color gamut and better printing quality are now possible.
With the aid of Photoshop, photographic and tonal designs can be created in millions of different color combinations and printed on fabric.
Without the restrictions of repeat size, colors, or manufactured designs, the design is accomplished with greater flexibility, resulting in an excellent representation of continuous tone (photographic) images.
Infrastructure requirements for digital printing equipment are minimal.
Reduce the time it takes to sell the products significantly.
It offers a consolidated manufacturing facility, reduces industrial waste, and print loss.
Requirements for mass customisation are quickly available.
The availability of high resolution/drop size, configuration with spot colors, and color management without a need of standards, as well as quick greater speed of operation.
Bangladesh has a recent history of digital textile printing. In 1990, digital printing became more widely used after being initially patented in 1968. In Bangladesh, Beximco Group first developed digital textile printing in 2015. There are now between 20–22 manufacturers in Bangladesh that have digital textile printing machines, including Square Group, Liz Group, Knit Concern, Padma Textiles, Fortis Group, Mondol Group, and others. The countries of Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Vietnam produce over 60% of the world's digital prints.
With All Over Printing (Screen printing), Bangladesh has developed the expertise and capacity to compete with any nation in the world, however we are still lagging far behind in All Over Digital Printing.
Over the past few years, a growing number of high-fashion retailers, including H&M and Zara, have added distinctive and unconventional designs to their collections. While conventional printing may make it difficult for designers to produce distinctive, high-quality designs. Digital textile printing gives designers the tools they need to produce futuristic patterns while also allowing them to exercise their creativity.
However, some forward-thinking Bangladeshi businesses have already begun making digital improvements. Among the well-known manufacturers and exporters engaged in extensive digital printing are Square Group, Liz Group, Masco Group, Knit Concern Ltd, Metro Group, Padma Textiles Ltd, and Mondol Group.
As quality and accuracy are prioritized in the printing sector, a decline in quality will result in significant company losses.
Manufacturers in Bangladesh benefit from larger margins thanks to digital printing. Let's say a T-shirt producer receives $1 to $1.50. However, he will be able to sell the print for $4–5. Even with a $1 print cost, he will still make $2 to $3 in margins.
The primary factor propelling the global market for digital textile printing is the fast evolving trend toward automation in the textile industry. Additionally, digital textile printing firms are seeking to advance on technological fronts and are investing heavily in research and development activities in order to broaden their product range on the global market. The environmental effect of printing processes can be reduced by using eco-solvent, UV, solvent, and aqueous inks with newly designed digital textile printing systems. As soon as feasible, factories must have decided on this industry because Bangladesh will soon be one of the countries where digital textile printing will overtake traditional printing.
