Digital printing mainly has two printing processes: direct injection printing and thermal transfer printing.
Direct spray process fabric printing has a wide range of applications, such as hemp, silk, wool, cotton, polyester, nylon, modal, but requires sizing, steaming, washing and other processes, relatively large investment. The direct-jet textile printing machine is the fastest Kyocera nozzle (about 40,000 people), followed by Starlight 1024 (more than 20,000) nozzles, which are high-speed nozzles. Common speed nozzles are: Ricoh G5, Seiko, Konica 1024i and so on.
The thermal transfer printing process has high precision, small investment, and does not need to do pre- and post-treatment. However, there are not many applicable fabrics. It is mainly used in chemical fiber fabrics. Epson nozzles are generally used, which is very slow and suitable for printing samples. Selection of printing machine nozzles: The nozzles of textile printing machines play a decisive role in printing accuracy, inkjet volume, printing speed, and production cost. : Starlight, Kyocera. The nozzles need to be replaced as consumables for several years, so the durability and replacement cost of the nozzles must also be considered.
