By Dora Reed


When you compare traditional screen-printing, digitized printing is much friendly to the Eco system. You are in a position to print the actual amount of inks you require in printing directly on a given fabric. You achieve this by directing settings of a printer. You are also able to utilize every drop you want from a given coverage. It is of greater significance to put in place a digital printing that is Eco friendly. You will be able to save water and the environment as well.

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.

Use of fabrics is coupled with other benefits. For example, if used as a substrate on a display, the overall weight of the graphic is reduced. The amount of money that will be used on shipping will be reduced. It will also be easier to handle them. Fabrics also enhance the look of the finished products and at the same time increase their 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 encourages use of dyes that requires us to steam them for fixation, wash off excess dye and later dry them. As a result we will have wasted dye materials, water and also we shall consume energy. Pigmented inks which are based on water on the other hand will use dry processes. We do not need to wash them or even steam them.

Sepiax, one type of advanced inks is Eco friendly. It was designed through consultations of customers who are constantly requesting manufactures to produce inks which do not damage the environment. Sepiax itself is a pigment. It comprises of water majorly, usually seventy percent. Many consumers push for better fabrics, without Eco-solvent or even solvent ink. This will relieve you the risks you face by using products that are not environmentally friendly as government agencies are always fighting against such products.

Some inkjets printers are highly demanded as they have wider formats and will print directly. They therefore create a lot of business opportunities. You can be able to print any piece of fabric ranging from small to large. If you carry out mass production, your costs will be cut when you want to produce custom jobs. You are also able to increase your production rate to meet 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.
