Digital textile printing has several advantages over traditional dyeing. It reduces waste, and it also addresses the water pollution that dyeing causes, which is the second largest global polluter of water. Digital production and textile printing allows manufacturers to effectively handle both small boutique and large retail orders, using the same technology.
Fast production is possible with a low cost per print, and print-on demand convenience. Profitability can be achieved from any order, regardless of quantity, by pressing a button. Digital textile printing allows designers to create almost limitless graphics and colors, which is superior to traditional printing techniques. Designers can now unleash their creativity to create unique designs.
The supply chain also benefits from the new technology.
Digital printing makes it easier to meet production and shipping deadlines, which prevents overstocking. Designers can constantly produce new collections to keep up with ever-changing fashion trends, while customers can satisfy their desire for customized apparel, décor, and gift items.
