One of the most promising developments in the textile industry is digital fabric printing. It has opened the doors for numerous prospects to enhance the quality and maintain the growing demands of textile printing. Anything can be printed with ease and perfection on fabric using digital printing technology. In digital textile printing, once the design is created, it can be directly printed on the fabric from the computer. This process does not require any other step. Just as an image is printed on the paper easily, one can print designs on fabric. To print the designs on the fabric digitally, a dye-sublimation printer is used, which carries out the printing process by using heat to transfer the design onto the fabric. In digital printing, it is necessary to pre-treat the fabric. This will ensure that the fabric holds the ink well, and a variety of colors can be attained through the pre-treatment process. The inks used in digital printing are formulated specifically for each type of fiber (cotton, silk, polyester, nylon, etc).
