Update time : 2021-08-27 14:56:17

As the epidemic comes to an end, digital textile printing continues to pave the way for the future of printed goods. The popularity of digital textile pigment printing is growing rapidly, thanks to its ease of use, speed of production, cost-effectiveness, and long-term sustainability.
The adoption of digital pigment printing is quickening, therefore it's not unexpected that the market is investing heavily in pigment ink capacity.

What sparked this interest in pigment inks?
Pigment printing, which accounts for 57 percent of the worldwide printed textile industry (analogue and digital) and is expected to surpass $260 billion by 2025 (grand perspective research), is the largest individual ink component, outnumbering all other ink types.
Despite this, pigment ink is anticipated to account for just 11% of the total ink types utilized for printing in the digital textile printing industry, which is expected to reach $8 billion by 2025 (Allied Market Research). For a long time, pigment printing has been limited by print head technology, but now, with the advent of high-speed and high-solid print heads (such as Epson PrecisionCore print heads), all this has changed. With the development of ink technology and print head technology, pigment printing provides unique advantages for digital printers.
Aside from the convenience, speed, and environmental benefits, digital pigment printing is unusual in that it can print with excellent quality and fastness on textiles with a mixed fiber composition. Polyester-Cotton textiles alone will be worth $57 billion by 2024, according to Global Market Insights, with additional mixes including Poly-Viscose, Poly-Linen, Nylon-Acetate, and Cotton-Acrylic bringing in another $16 billion.
As a result, pigment represents a significant business opportunity in the printed fabric sector. Furthermore, the vast textile printing re-equipment market, estimated to reach $13.9 billion by 2025 (Allied Market Research), will be opened up to the availability of ever faster digital print machines as they evolve as digital textile print machines speed up, driven by innovation in technical application and printhead development.
Despite the fact that the globe was still devastated by the epidemic in 2021, manufacturers continued to produce new printing machines, printing inks, and print workflow software solutions as they moved the agenda ahead in an accelerated market.
Like DTF printing solution, it is a new printing technology in the epidemic, then it became popular. Its convenience and excellent printing effect have attracted many people. Its appearance also makes up for the shortcomings of some products on the market before. Subtextile can provide you the whole materials and machines for DTF printing, including DTF printer, powder shaker, film, ink, and powder.

Using pigment inks, digital textile printing technologies today provide a sustainable production method with considerable equipment, time, and personnel cost savings.
Pigment technology offers remarkable printing results with the great light fastness and wet rub fastness and can be used on all types of fabric, including mixed fibers, without pre-coating, thanks to advancements in ink chemistry.
With recent technological advancements in digital pigment printing, the horizon for commercial fabric printers has widened dramatically. They can now print almost any sort of cloth on demand for the décor or apparel markets using pigment printing, without the worry of quality or fastness difficulties, or the consistency of high-speed manufacturing.
