Due to people's personalized needs for clothing, the field of textile clothing fabrics also tends to be personalized and comfortable. Digital printing process is more and more popular because of the advantages of high printing precision, no need to make plates, flexible batch, environmental protection, small footprint and so on. However, how enterprises choose their own textile digital printing machine has become a new problem.
Transfer printing?orDirect spray?
The selection of the printing process is directly determinedDigital printing machineThe choice of type. For clothing fabric printing, choose the transfer process or direct spray processDigital printing machineThe choice has a decisive role in direction.
Transfer processwithDirect injection processThe difference?
Transfer process:The investment is small, the printing precision is high, but the applicable fabrics are limited, mainly suitable for chemical fiber fabrics.
Direct injection process:Generally need fabric sizing, steaming, washing and other links, the relative investment is large, but the fabric is widely applicable, can be used in polyester, nylon, cotton, hemp, silk, wool, modal and other fabric types.
01Printing accuracy depends on the fabric
Enterprises can choose the equipment that can meet the printing accuracy of customers according to the different fabrics and customer needs. Generally speaking, fabrics with more delicate and smooth fibers require higher precision, such as silk, chiffon, etc.; Fabrics with rough fibers have lower requirements for precision, such as canvas, sweaters, and so on. In the selection of printing accuracy should pay attention to, not the higher the accuracy, the better, because the accuracy and efficiency are two opposite factors, if the higher the precision requirements, the lower the efficiency.
02Ink selection
The selection of printing ink generally has three points:
①The choice of color. According to the customer's needs and the type of fabric, you can choose four-color ink, six-color ink, eight-color ink and so on. The more the color of the general ink, the better the color saturation and color effect of the print, which also directly determines the color type of the printing machine.
②Type selection. Printing ink generally has active ink, acid ink, dispersion ink, paint ink and so on. The type of ink should generally be selected according to the material of the fabric, and the ink with better coloring and good color performance should be selected for the fabric.
③Choice of make and model. In general, the ink is developed for the brand and model of the nozzle, and it is necessary to pay attention to whether it is suitable for the printer's nozzle model when selecting the ink. In addition, the fluidity of the ink, the degree of brightness, the degree of color fixation, the degree of environmental protection, etc., are all aspects to be considered in the selection of ink.
03Nozzle is the core element
As the most important parts and main consumables of the digital printing machine, the nozzle plays a decisive role in the selection of the digital printing machine. The type of nozzle determines the accuracy of printing, the size of the amount of ink jet, the speed of printing, and the cost of production. The choice of sprinkler head should comprehensively consider the type of printing fabric, cost estimation, production efficiency requirements and other factors, and the sprinkler head as the main consumables should also fully consider the cost and durability of replacement .
Comparison between domestic and imported
Due to the progress of China's scientific and technological level and the maturity of manufacturing technology, domesticDigital printing machineThe gap with imported machines is getting smaller and smaller. Enterprises choose domestic digital printing machine or imported digital printing machine, mainly need to consider the following factors.
①Cost factor. Due to the factors of tariffs and freight of imported equipment, the price of imported digital printing machines is higher than that of similar domestic digital printing machines.
②Key technology. As a key component of the digital printing machine -- Sprinkler heads are basically imported, mainly those produced in Japan. Therefore, whether it is domestic digital printing machine or imported digital printing machine, the key equipment used is basically the same.
③After-sales service. Whether it is domestic equipment or imported equipment, good after-sales service is one of the important factors to consider when choosing a digital printing machine. The timeliness and effectiveness of dealing with problems and troubleshooting directly determine the efficiency and cost of enterprise production.
