Is it easy to operate the digital printing equipment for cotton fabrics?

Compared with the traditional manual printing and reactive printing, the pure cotton cloth is directly sprayedDigital printing equipmentThe operation process is still very simple. It can be roughly divided into four steps: sizing, printing, fixing, and spraying softener. The printing process of pure cotton cloth should not be simpler than this, let’s talk about it in detail below:

1. Sizing

Sizing is the pre-treatment. In principle, the direct-injection digital printing machine for pure cotton fabric does not need sizing, but if it is not sizing, there is still a gap between the vividness of paint and ink and the active digital printing. The effect of direct spraying of pure cotton fabric with paint is not inferior to reactive digital printing.

There is a dedicated sizing machine for sizing, as long as the temperature and speed are adjusted appropriately (you can test or ask the fabric supplier for details), as long as the sizing is uniform and the treatment liquid on the fabric is dried. If the sizing is not uniform, the effect will not work. , And printing when the treatment liquid is not dried will easily cause ink scattering.

This step requires the operator to have a bit of drawing skills. Of course, some customers directly give AI, CDR and other high-definition pictures or send them to professional designers for drawing. After the drawing is completed, the remaining materials are loading and unloading.

Placing, collecting, and drying are all done automatically by the direct-injection printing machine for pure cotton fabrics. As for the effect of the printing machine, it is generally affected by the following three factors:

1. The matching degree of ink;

2. The matching degree of the curve;

3. The cotton content of the cotton material (if it is pure cotton fabric, there is no such problem)

In addition to the above three factors, it is generally possible to print out colorful effects.

Three, fixing

The cloth placement and collection are also automatically completed by the machine. The temperature and speed are also adjustable. The high temperature drying time depends on the fabric. As adjusted, the new fabrics need to be tested before they become larger products.

Fourth, soften

After sizing, direct spray pattern, and high temperature fixing, the hand feel of pure cotton cloth will be slightly harder. In order to restore its softness and provide better hand feeling, it needs to spray softener. After spraying softener, pure cotton The feel of the cotton piece returns to its original appearance.
