Step into the future of digital textile printing with Epson

Digital printing represents the future of textile printing. In fashion, a sector particularly receptive to versatility, speed and customisation, an ever-growing share of printed fabrics is produced using inkjet technology. Created to reduce the time and costs necessary for the creation of textile samples, twenty years later digital printing has undeniably assumed a fundamental role not only in the design but also the production of printed fabrics. Among the enabling factors of this technology a number of distinctive features stand out, particularly when it comes to fabric printing.

Inkjet printing improves the creativity of designers and printers as it allows the reproduction of complex and photographic designs, provides definite answers to the need for customisation and uniqueness of a product, all while guaranteeing the product's industrial reproducibility at a high quality; it is economically beneficial even for small quantities, where the reductions in waste and material are evident in favour of more efficient logistics; it reduces design and production time; compared to conventional printing, it has numerous environmental advantages, including lower water and energy consumption; faster digital process execution ensures greater guarantees for the intellectual property of the design and finally, inkjet printing requires fewer dyes and chemicals. Not to mention that today you can print on a huge range of fabrics, from natural to synthetic fibres, and from the very latest generation of artificial fibres to leather.

In short, a fabric printed with inkjet printers helps to reduce the environmental cost of the finished product, thereby increasing its level of sustainability. The economic, organisational and ecological advantages of inkjet printing are primarily recognised by printing companies, but fashion brands are also showing interest in this technology as it represents a revolution in the way fashion is designed and produced.
