Different from traditional digital printing, textile digital printing technology is divided into this cotton digital printing technology and chemical fiber digital printing technology. Although these two digital printing technologies are all digital printing technology, the difference is still very big.
First, the difference between the use of ink
Printing inks used in digital printing of cotton fabrics are classified into reactive dye inks and acid dye inks.
The printing ink used in digital printing and dyeing of chemical fiber fabrics is disperse dye sublimation ink.

Second, the difference in production processes:
Chemical fiber fabric digital thermal transfer printing and dyeing production process: pattern design → output printing → heat transfer → finished product.
The production process of digital printing and dyeing of cotton fabrics is: pattern design→ direct injection→fixing→drying→finished products.
Third, the advantages of cotton fabrics
Features: Sweat-absorbent, soft, anti-sensitive, easy to clean, not easy to pilling.
Hygroscopicity: Cotton fiber has good hygroscopicity. Under normal conditions, the fiber can absorb water into the surrounding atmosphere. Its moisture content is 8-10%, so it contacts human skin and makes people feel soft without stiff.
Moisture retention: Since cotton fiber is a poor conductor of heat and electricity, the heat transfer coefficient is extremely low, and the cotton fiber itself is porous.
Heat resistance: The cotton fabric has good heat resistance. When it is below 110 °C, it will only cause moisture evaporation on the fabric and will not damage the fiber.
Alkali resistance: cotton fiber has greater resistance to alkali, and cotton fiber does not break in alkali solution.
Hygiene: Cotton fiber is a natural fiber, its main component is cellulose, and a small amount of waxy substances and nitrogen and pectin.
