What are the tips for buying a digital direct-injection printer?

Nowadays, people have more and more demand for clothing, and the quality requirements are becoming more and more strict. The field of textile and apparel fabrics also tends to be personalized and comfortable. The digital direct-injection printing process is more and more popular among the public because of its rich and varied printing, high precision, no plate making, flexible batch, green and small footprint. However, how to choose the textile digital printing machine that suits you? The Norman digital direct spray primer manufacturer teaches you below.
Digital down spray transfer printing OR direct injection
The choice of printing process directly determines the choice of the type of digital printing machine. For the clothing fabric printing, it is the choice of the transfer process or the direct injection process, and the choice of the digital printing machine has a directional decision. The transfer process investment is small, but the applicable fabrics are limited, mainly for chemical fiber fabrics. The direct injection process generally requires fabric sizing, steaming, washing, etc., and the relative investment is relatively large, but the fabric has a wide application range, and can be applied to various fabric types such as polyester, nylon, cotton, hemp, silk, wool, and modal.
There are three general choices for printing inks:
1, the choice of printing ink 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. Generally, the more ink colors, the better the color saturation and color effect of the print, and also directly determine the color type of the printer. The VEGA series of textile direct-injection printing machines support the color effects of four, six and eight colors.
2, the type of printing ink is selected. Printing inks generally include reactive inks, acid inks, dispersing inks, paint inks, and the like. The type of ink is generally selected according to the material of the fabric, and the ink which is well colored for the fabric and has good color performance is selected. Honghua is equipped with different types of inks for the full range of models, which effectively ensures the compatibility of the printing host and provides users with an integrated color management solution.
3, the choice of ink brand and model. In general, ink is developed for the brand and model of the nozzle. When selecting ink, pay attention to whether it is suitable for the nozzle model of the printer. In addition, the fluency, vividness, degree of fixation, and environmental protection of the ink are all aspects to be considered in ink selection.
Sprinkler into a core element
The nozzle is the most important part of the digital printing machine and the main consumables, which plays a decisive role in the selection of digital printing machines. The type of the head determines the accuracy of printing, the amount of ink ejection, the speed of printing, the cost of production, and the like. The choice of nozzles should take into account factors such as the type of printed fabric, cost estimation, production efficiency requirements, etc. The nozzle as the main consumable should also fully consider the cost and durability of replacement.
Printing precision look fabric
The company can select the equipment that can meet the customer's printing precision according to the fabric and the customer's needs. Generally speaking, fabrics with finer and smoother fabrics have higher precision requirements, such as silk and chiffon; fabrics with relatively coarse fibers have lower requirements on precision, such as canvas and sweater.
Pay attention to the accuracy of printing. It is not the higher the precision, because accuracy and efficiency are two opposite factors. If the accuracy is higher, the efficiency is lower.
