Digital Printing

Digital printing uses state-of-the-art industrial inks specifically developed for textile printing.

This technique also has the advantage of not using the same amount of chemicals that are needed to prepare the garment, something that other conventional printing techniques cannot do without.

Why choose Digital Printing?

  • You can create beautiful gradient effects and respect every nuance of your images.
  • It can reproduce high-resolution photographs or images with a wide range of colours.

Benefits

  • Perfect for small productions.
  • Ideal for colourful looks.
  • Very soft light colours.
  • Use of ecological water-based inks with the Oeko-Tex certificate.

Types of digital printing

1. Reactive digital printing:

Technique used to print with reactive dyes directly onto substrates mainly of cellulosic origin, whether natural or modified fibers, such as cotton, linen, viscose, modal, lyocell, and also silk.

Advantages:

  • Lower consumption of water, energy and inks than in conventional printing.
  • Greater capacity to carry out small orders at a lower cost than in conventional printing because there is no need to open cylinders.
  • Easier and faster sample making than conventional printing.
  • Use of water-based inks certified to Oeko-tex standard 100 and GOTS version 6.0 with very good fastness.
  • Possibility of printing by components for cutting on an automatic machine, ideal for matching or positioning of pieces
  • Solid, intense colors obtainable.
2. Acid digital printing:

Technique used to print with dyes that act in an acidic field, suitable for printing polyamide, wool and silk.

Advantages:

  • Lower consumption of water, energy and inks than conventional printing.

  • Greater capacity to carry out small orders at a lower cost than in conventional printing, as there is no need to open cylinders.

  • Easier and faster sample making than conventional printing.

  • Use of water-based inks certified to Oeko-tex standard 100 and GOTS version 6.0 with very good fastness.

  • Possibility of printing by components for cutting on an automatic machine, ideal for matching or positioning of pieces.

  • Solid, intense colors obtainable.

3. Digital pigment printing:

Technique used to print with pigments on any type of textile substrate.

Advantages:

  • 0 % water consumption and reduced carbon footprint.
  • Biodegradable and eco-friendly inks.
  • Oeko-tex and GOTS version 6.0 certified inks.
  • No pre-treatment, steaming or washing required thus saving energy.
  • Possibility of printing finished garments or components before production.
  • It can be produced in series, but also as a single piece if desired.
  • Vibrant, solid colors.
