DIGITAL FABRIC
PRINTING

Introduction: Fabric Printing has always used a limited number of colors for printing, which is still the primary method of today. However, with the introduction of digital printers and certain software RIPS, you can also print an image containing thousands or millions of colors. This is accomplished in the same way you would print a fine art reproduction. Now anything is possible with fabric printing.
We have endeavored to create different packages of software to handle the level of sophistication you desire and can afford. Each package comes with a road map. This is a step-by-step set of directions. That is why we call it KISS.  

Software for Fabric Printing: There are several approaches to printing with selected colors. An image file, such as a tiff ,containing millions of colors can be turned into an index file of limited colors. Continuous tones are broken up into specific shades. There are several software packages that are designed to accomplish this effect. The greater the ability of the software to accomplish this task as well as others effects, the greater the cost. We have chosen packages that offer the most user-friendly interfaces with strong features. Software that can handle the many tasks needed for Fabric printing can range in price up to $30,000 We have put together different packages for different levels.
  • Entry level One: We have packaged a user-friendly sophisticated RIP that will actually reduce your cost of ink usage and produce superior color. Blend any number and any color combination of inks. To the Rip, we have added an extremely accurate, low cost,   Spectrophotometer that reads colors and densities.  A software package is also included to create the image file. 
  • Level Two: To the above package we have added the most sophisticated color management system which works seamlessly with the RIP. It will accurately blend any color ink combination to create a profile that will allow you to produce the accuracy of fine art printing. 
  • Level Three: To level two and three we add one of the most sophisticated, but user-friendly creative software packages to manipulate and control the image file. It has numerous features and works with ease. Turn an image file into levels of defined shades in seconds and set up your pallet. Change the color values of that file with just a click of the mouse! Level Three will offer you an amazing level of control.

Inks for Fabric Printing: There are several different ink sets for fabric printing. Unlike photographic and fine art printing different materials require different ink types. There are also special fabrics designed to be waterproof with dye inks. I will discuss this in another topic later. The sets are: Reactive, Disperse, and Acid. We offer Bulk Ink Systems with the best ink at the best price. 
RIPs for Fabric Printing: One of the functions of the RIP is to control the amount of ink used and balancing the ink dot gain from O% to full 100%. This is of primary concern for quality printing and necessary to prevent bleeding. Because of the numerous colors used for fabric printing, the RIP must be able to run multiple channels. Such as: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Light Cyan, Light Magenta, Blue, Black, Violet, and etc. The RIP also has numerous features: Tiling, Step and Repeat, Cropping, Scaling, Color Tuning, and Layout.  
Steaming Fabrics Printed with Reactive Inks: Reactive inks used in printing various fabrics like cottons need to be steamed for the color to become saturated and permanent.
