Digital inkjet printing technology is a brand-new printing method. It abandons the complex links that traditional printing needs to make plates, and directly prints on the fabrics to improve the accuracy of printing, and realizes small-lot, multi-variety, multi-color printing. It solves the problems of large area and serious pollution in traditional printing, and therefore has broad prospects for development.
Since the 1990s, inkjet printing technology has been widely used in textiles. Chemicals, print heads, printers, fabrics, and software manufacturers have begun to try to cooperate with each other. The cooperation of various industries makes the quality of textile printing exceed the traditional printing standards. However, the emergence of a new era of cooperation has both advantages and disadvantages for users. Most of the advantages are the cooperation of various industries in the emergence of suitable machines, components, chemicals and software, which ensure the safety of the program. The emergence of first-rate Epson printheads has set a milestone for textile inkjet printers, and almost all relevant inks can be applied to these printheads. One of the shortcomings is the lack of compatibility between competing systems. For example, compatibility problems arise between the respective systems of BASF and Stork in the Netherlands and Huntsman and Reggiani.
New progress in ink research
Inks include solvent inks and weak solvent inks. In addition to the well-known CMYK color separations (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) for thermal transfer printing, there are special colors such as dark blue. Dark red and orange. At present, many manufacturers such as Trident, located in Brookfield, USA, have produced 12 colors of ink.
The printer manufactured by Epson Corporation is equipped with piezo-electric crystal sensor nozzles, which can accurately eject drops onto the fabric. The artistry is superb. The variable print head can use different inks such as solvent ink and sublimation. Ink, reactive ink and pigment ink.
Many inkjet printer suppliers also provide corresponding software (which can be produced by themselves or co-produced). With this software, some image data can be modified into commands and controlled by a computer. Although the print head may be different for different manufacturers or different batches of the same manufacturer, the "RIP" software, which is the heart of the inkjet printing system, must be tailored for each print head.
The basic task of the RIP software is to accept scanned digital images, color separations, and color management, and digital technology controls the inkjet system.
Now, different designs of dryers can dry solvent inks, infrared dryers, ultraviolet dryers, which are installed in order on the press and match the printing speed. The printing speed is generally 30-50m2hr, and the speed can reach 150m2hr or more, such as HPScitex's TS8300 and Italian Reggiani's DreAm digital jet printing machine.
But in general, the most important point is the quality of the printing. It is understood that the better the printing quality, the slower the speed.
Pigment inks: There are many manufacturers selling them now, including BASF, Huntsman AG, DuPont, and Wilmington, USA. There are also some small producers, Digital Technology Co., Ltd., Zhengzhou, China, and Trident. Since pigment inks are developed later and their technical difficulty is also large, the pigment particle size is particularly sensitive to the effects of clogging nozzles, ink rheology, and stability during inkjet printing. At present, the average number of pigments printed in the world's printed fabrics is 40%-50%. The pigment must be crushed into tiny particles and dispersed in an aqueous solution to form an ink. Such ink can be considered as a water-soluble ink. This type of ink does not need to be pre-treated as long as it is dry after printing. It is said that the UV desiccant will exert its greater advantage on pigmented inks and is usually mounted directly on the press.
Anti-ultraviolet ink: mainly used for outdoor banners and banners. DuPont introduced a special Artistri-SolarBrite ink. Its light fastness is said to be extraordinary.
Ink for printing on dark fabrics: White or luminous prints on dark fabrics are mainly used for advertising T-shirts.
At present, the United States USScreenPrint&InkjetTechnology company can produce ink that can meet this requirement, such as their FastInk2, these are pigment inks. When printing, just as in screen printing and transfer printing, pre-treatment procedures are necessary to form a closed system on the surface of the fabric, which prevents the penetration of white printing pigments into the fabric. In addition, RalfBenz, an expert who has used Fastink technology, said that in this pretreatment process, paint spray guns must be used, especially when dealing with dark T-shirts.
RalfBenz is head of Schilder+Druck Werbetechnik GmbH in Geislingen, Germany, and a user of FastInk technology. The manufacturer said that although its fastness cannot be as fast as the plastisol print, it is sufficient to achieve the above-mentioned purpose and the washing fastness is also good.
The complete solution of pigment ink
At present, there are not many pigment inks used for ink jet printing of textiles. The inks used are mainly dye inks. As the two giants in the printing and dyeing industry, BASF and Stork in the Netherlands are collaborating on the development of an easy-to-use, high-performance pigmented ink for textile digital printing. Stork is the largest printing solution in the textile and t-shirt industry. s company. The new pigment ink was officially introduced to the market at the Turkish International Textile Machinery Exhibition held in Istanbul in June this year. Not only does BASF's high-tech knowledge of ink make the color of pigment inks more colorful, but also makes the printing speed more suitable, and Stork's research on the printing process and the ink feed system make these properties even more possible. This pigmented ink has been certified by StorkUSee, and StorkUSee has been recognized as an authoritative standard in print quality. StorkUSee's qualification allows people to get the same print quality anywhere, anytime. For example, printing can be done at an Asian manufacturing center, and products can be produced locally.
DPA is the first textile digital printing factory in the world with the production of standard digital textiles. The Netherlands PrintUnlimited is a printing company that has just recently qualified to produce this kind of product. The network of such sample service systems is now planned to expand into the world's major design centers.
Evolving digital printing machine
D.gen Corporation, located in Seoul, South Korea, is a company that manufactures a series of digital printing machines. The company's Teleios series of digital printers, model TXV874, can print at widths up to 187 cm. Now, this type of printing machine has new features. As a result, the production efficiency of the V8 printing machine has been increased to eight, instead of six, which makes it easier to change colors when printing.The Teleios V8 digital jet printing machine adopts a 2×4 color scheme and is equipped with suitable The dye reservoir stores approximately 1 liter of different color dyes, respectively. According to reports, such devices do not need to manually add dyes or replace the dye reservoir during the production process, and the seasoning time and temperature are suitable for the ink jet and printing speeds.
From the beginning to the end of the work, printing and seasoning can be synchronized. An effective external extraction system is directly connected to the printing machine, and the system can extract the ingredients within a certain period of time to prevent evaporation of the dye vapor. This system also increases the production efficiency, and it is expected that the printing speed can reach 50m2hr. D.gen's Teleios TX100†digital printing machine is still six print heads with a width of up to 260 cm and can use 1×6 color or 4×4 color scheme.
HPScitex now recommends a TruColor digital ink jet printer from Germany's 3PInkJetTextiles. The 3PTruColor guarantees the printing quality when using solvent ink (TJ8300) and UV ink (TJ8500). The 3P paper laminate structure guarantees The best media transfer in the printing process. The special Trucolor coating finish prevents ultraviolet light, humidity and the effect of abrasion on the fabric.
Seidenweberei Güsken, located in Krefeld, Germany, is a relatively authoritative company that produces jacquard fabrics. At present, it has launched a new brand “Artido!â€. According to the person in charge of the company, the launch of the new brand aims to open up a wider market. Artido will use its unique printing technology to establish a new set of quality standards. People can get products satisfying themselves without leaving home. Just transfer your data to the “Artido!†website, indicate your requirements, and enter your own detailed address. Güsken will carefully process the data through a digital program. The transmission to the screen.
At present, the Virtu 7200 printhead from Leggett & Platt Digital Technologies, USA, is accompanied by a new type of automatic load system that will simplify fabric cross-cutting procedures. In addition, the print head is also equipped with DirectUV, which can directly print on the fabric instead of the usual transfer printing paper. The company also supplies VirtuPrint finished fabrics.
Digital printing technology has become a relatively mature technology in advertising textiles, and digital printing is still limited to samples, disposable work clothes and short-flowing processes. In the next few years, the quality of digital printing will be further increased and the cost will be further reduced. In an ordinary roller printing machine, if a color of 300 meters can be printed in each color, this will be a major breakthrough in the printing industry. Fortunately, the printing machine that can achieve this goal has already existed, such as HPScitex's Reggiani printing machine.
Some small wide desktop printers (3.3 meters wide) used in the advertising banner industry sell very well, such as DuPont's Artistri 3320 printing machine, and some of them used to process home textiles and clothing are 120-220cm wide. DuPont's Artistri printing machine has been listed on the company's international website to display sales.
Compared with traditional printing, digital inkjet printing has the advantages of high flexibility in production process, good reproducibility, high precision, and a marketing system that can adapt to small batches and fast delivery, meets clean production requirements, and can be remotely ordered. Makes digital jet printing the focus of research. Textile digital ink jet printing not only has strict requirements for the development of ink and computer software, but also has requirements for printers, pre-processing equipment, post-processing equipment, fabric grade and width. When companies invest in ink-jet printing, they must consider the cost of materials such as ink, chemicals, fabrics, and training fees for employees.
