By Dora Reed


Using digital printing turns out to be more environmental friendly compared with traditional screen-printing technology. Here, one is able to print an exact amount inks or dyes required to directly print on the fabric. This is through the direction of the settings of the printer. Every drop is printed only on demand from the accurate coverage needed. It is important to use a digital printing that is eco friendly. It saves water and environment.

There is digitization in textile printing and this can be easily seen by looking at the number of fabrics brought to the market each year. There is cooperation between end-product manufactures and consumer who keep developing fabrics. Fabrics are substrates that are made up of natural as well as synthetic fibers, which are formed by; coating, knitting or weaving. Fabrics are environmentally friendly when compared to other rigid substrates.

Using fabric also has other benefits. For instance, when used as a substrate on display reduces the general weight of the graphic. This reduces the amount of money spent on shipping, as well as improving the ease of handling. Fabric will also enhance the appearance of a finished graphic as well as increasing its re-usability.

Inks have also advanced in digital textile printing. This has led to the introduction of varieties of dyes and pigments. The ongoing research as well as advancement in technology has encouraged these developments. This is majorly through consulting customers about their needs.

Screen printing processes will use dyes which need to be steamed for fixation and then washed off excess dye and then drying. This encourages wastes in terms of the dye materials, water as well as energy consumption. Unlike this inks which are based on dyes, those that pigmented and are based on water do use a dry process. This means they do not need to be washed or steamed.

Sepiax is an ink designed to offer a green alternative. This came about by listening to customers who want inks that are environmentally friendly. Sepiax is basically a pigment which comprises of seventy percent water. Many people want to print on fabrics with inks which are not Eco-solvent or solvent. This way, one does not have issues with agencies that advocate on Eco friendly products. At the same time, the image gotten is still beautiful and desirable.

Inkjets printers that print directly and also has wide format are also on high demand. This digitization has encouraged setting up of many businesses. Through this advancement, one is able to print even a small piece of a fabric or a large one. Even in mass production, more time and money is saved in the case of short-run or custom jobs. New machines have increased the speed of production. This speed is needed as the demand keeps increasing hence the need to meet this demand.

Lastly, we need to support those product that use materials that are friendly to the environment. The advancements that we discover must be designed with keen observation of our Eco system. The government should also come up with relevant regulations.
