Using digital printing turns out to be more environmental friendly compared with traditional screen-printing technology. Here, one is able to print an exact amount inks or dyes required to directly print on the fabric. This is through the direction of the settings of the printer. Every drop is printed only on demand from the accurate coverage needed. It is important to use a digital printing that is eco friendly. It saves water and environment.
There is digitization in textile printing and this can be easily seen by looking at the number of fabrics brought to the market each year. There is cooperation between end-product manufactures and consumer who keep developing fabrics. Fabrics are substrates that are made up of natural as well as synthetic fibers, which are formed by; coating, knitting or weaving. Fabrics are environmentally friendly when compared to other rigid substrates.
Using fabric also has other benefits. For instance, when used as a substrate on display reduces the general weight of the graphic. This reduces the amount of money spent on shipping, as well as improving the ease of handling. Fabric will also enhance the appearance of a finished graphic as well as increasing its re-usability.
Digital textile printing has led to advancement of inks. Varieties of dyes as well as pigments are introduced into the market. There is ongoing research and development on this which keeps improving the level of technology. This is mainly through encouraging the involvement of customers.
Screen printing processes will use dyes which need to be steamed for fixation and then washed off excess dye and then drying. This encourages wastes in terms of the dye materials, water as well as energy consumption. Unlike this inks which are based on dyes, those that pigmented and are based on water do use a dry process. This means they do not need to be washed or steamed.
Sepiax, is a type of an ink made to provide a green alternative. This was designed after consulting customers who are in support of inks that are friendly to the environment. Sepiax is simply a pigment, comprising of about seventy percent water. A lot of people support use of fabrics without Eco-solvent or solvent ink. This supports the idea behind the setting up of agencies that always encourage Eco friendly products. The image achieved too is beautiful.
Some inkjets printers do have wide formats and usually print directly. They are on a high demand since they open up new business opportunities. This enables us to print both a small piece of fabric as well as a large one. Even mass production firms are able to save their costs when dealing with short-run as well as custom jobs. Emergence of new machines enables us to produce product at an enhanced rate. We need this so as to meet the high demand.
Lastly, we need to support those product that use materials that are friendly to the environment. The advancements that we discover must be designed with keen observation of our Eco system. The government should also come up with relevant regulations.
