In this article, we take a look at the evolution of fashion printing - from screen printing to digital printing.

When it comes to printing in the fashion industry, initially screen printing was the main method of production. Its ability to print bold colors in a precise and controlled manner gained commercial popularity in the fashion industry in the 60s, making screen printing the technique of choice for the fast fashion movement.

However, in addition to the high cost of screens and screen storage, many designers are limited by technology. Barriers to the development of print design include the labor-intensive application of ink from screen to garment, the large volumes of water required to clean screens, and the inability to utilize the screen's grid to design complex images.

A new innovative printing technology is needed to solve these problems. Many believe that the industry, especially the consumer fashion and apparel market, increasingly needs flexibility and that the only way to achieve this and eliminate the former problem is through digital textile printing.

The introduction of digital textile printing machines has made fast fashion a highly profitable business model based on replicating catwalk trends and haute couture designs and mass producing them at low cost.

While screen printing is still a booming industry, as many end consumers prefer simple low-resolution, vibrant prints on their garments, digital printing technology can reduce environmental pollution, enable continuous production, improve Flexibility and personalization, and gives fashion designers the flexibility to experiment with their style by pushing the boundaries of design.

Thus, the introduction of inkjet textile printers in fashion and apparel applications means that high-resolution pattern and image printing is gaining popularity in the fashion industry – from intricate floral and animal prints to detailed photorealistic visuals and repetitive, complex brand design. In this way, with the MT digital textile printing machine launched by Meiteng, you can get the perfect fashion printing solution, enabling brands to bring new designs to the market faster, allowing them to go from concept to finished product in a very short time the process of.
