A DTG printer is a device specifically designed for directly printing patterns onto textiles. By combining digital technology with inkjet technology, it can efficiently and accurately print patterns directly onto textiles, making it faster, more environmentally friendly, and cost-effective compared to traditional printing methods.
The principle of the DTG printer is as follows:
1. Digital pattern processing:
First, the pattern to be printed is digitally processed using computer software. Professional design software can be used to scale the pattern, adjust colors, add layers, and perform other operations to meet different printing requirements.
2. Inkjet head printing: The DTG printer uses inkjet technology, employing high-precision nozzles to spray ink onto the textile. The inkjet head typically consists of hundreds of tiny nozzles, which can precisely spray ink according to the pattern’s requirements and control the ink volume and color.
3. Ink adhesion to textiles: After the ink is sprayed onto the textile, it penetrates the fabric and bonds with the fibers through the ink’s permeability and special dyes. Compared to traditional printing methods, the ink pigments used in DTG printers are more environmentally friendly and do not produce excess printing pigments.
4. Curing and Setting: After printing, the ink must be cured and set to ensure the durability and stability of the printed pattern. Curing is typically achieved through methods such as heat pressing or infrared irradiation, enabling the ink to better integrate with the textile fibers.
In summary, DTG printers achieve efficient and precise direct printing of patterns onto textiles through digital pattern processing, inkjet printing, ink-textile bonding, and curing and setting. This technology offers the textile
