What is digital Direct to Fabric printing？
Direct to Fabric printing is a process where rolls of fabric are printed using large format inkjet printing machines. In a similar process to a desktop computer printer, printer heads containing many fine nozzles squirt tiny droplets of inks onto pre-treated fabric. Direct digital printing has been developed particularly for the natural and nylon market. Fabrics are pre-treated with chemicals to help in the bonding of the print by the fibres. The digitally printed fabric then post treated to fix the dye into the fabric in the process of high heat pressing.
Direct to fabric printing method is quick and relatively easy process with files loaded into specific print software then sent to printer. As with digital sublimation printing on polyester fabrics, direct digital fabric printing allows for multiple color ways and designs to be printed along or within one roll of fabric. The number of colors within a design does not impact the cost of printing, it allows for the quick turn-around and for small run sampling as well as for printing large runs, placement and engineered designs.

Print Head
What are the advantages of using Ricoh print heads?
1. High Print Resolution
Three-level grayscale piezoelectric inkjet, featured variable ink droplet printing. the smallest ink droplet can reach 7pl, high printing accuracy, little color difference.
2. Easy To Maintain
The print head is made of all-steel material, which is not easy to block or corrode during use. The piston type cleaning method can reduce the damageto the nozzle, one head is double colored, and the utilization rate is increased to reduce the purchase cost.
3. Wide Range of Applications
The automatic height measurement and height control system adopts the full closed-loop design, which can automatically identify the material thickness,so it can break through the material limit and print patterns on a variety of materials.
4. Easy To Operate
Ricoh print head adopts intelligent X-direction and Y-direction white jump printing,automatic identification of white areas,fast skipping,support for multi- frame printing and area printing,which is convenient for large image batch printing and large image sampling printing.Supports resume printing,which is used to resume printing for users to stop the print job or exit the print job due to an error during printing.Support the mirror-to-print function of double- sided printing.Double zero positioning(double start printing),the printer can print from the beginning or the end.Realize reverse printing and forward alter nate printing without wasting materials.
5. Stable Performance
The equipment is designed according to the 24-hour*7-day production operation mode,and various durable components that meet the requirementsof industrial production are used to meet the production requirements.The service life of the nozzle can be as long as 3-5 years if maintenance is paid attention to.
6. Save Ink And Environmental Protection
Ricoh print head uses environmentally friendly ink, does not contain VOC(volatile organic compounds), environmental protection is a major trend inthe fu ture. Using variable ink drop printing, can save 30%-50% printing ink. It reduces the amount of ink it uses by adjusting the size of the ink droplets to adapt to changes in the color depth of the image, while normal printing uses light ink to adapt to changes in the color depth of the image. It saves a lot of cost fo r users who have a lot of consumption. Lower printing costs, profits will naturally increase.

Printing Process of Special Materials
How silk is printed on the Belt textile printer?
The methodology for digital silk printing is similar to standard inkjet printing but requires more care as silk is a delicate fabric.
Below is the step-wise process:
1. Designing
The customers’ design or artwork is required to begin the process. It can be either digital or hand-drawn and then can be converted into digital format. Designers have many options, including the ability to use a wide range of colors. It is important to create designs that can be reproduced consistently.
2. Pre-treatment
Silk printing requires pre-treatment. Silk must be coated with an external fabric finisher to absorb ink and accept it in order to ensure the best output. The fabric is in RFD (Ready for Dyeing) mode. A piece of fabric is print tested for calibration of the printer, as per the right amount of ink. Too much ink can cause the fabric to lose its crispness and low ink may result in the print losing its brightness and color.
3. Printing
After the fabric has been pre-treated, it is now in the RFDP (Ready for Digital Printing) mode. Now, the fabric can be passed through the digital inkjet printing machine to print the desired design. Silk fabric is printed by acid dye ink or reactive ink. Acid dye is water soluble anionic dye which shows brilliant bright colours and fastness properties. Before printing begins, the ink heads are adjusted to the right height. In order to create the desired design with vibrant colors, the head sprays tiny droplets of ink on the fabric.
4. Finishing
The last step in the process is finishing, which is the same for digital or screen printing. As silk is freshly printed, it is in the most vulnerable stage and requires utmost care. The silk needs to be steam-dried so that the ink and fabric fibers are bonded. Then, it must be washed to remove any residual ink and coating. Finally, the silk is dried and ironed.
