The focus is sustainable textile printing
The sustainability issue is a focus for market consumers and operators in the textile industry; as well as for ITMA, ‘Innovation for industry sustainability’. Inkjet printing is a sustainable alternative to traditional printing. The advantages are not only financial and organisational but also ecological. Today’s fashion industry is increasingly sensitive to sustainability issues; and is finding in digital textile printing a powerful ally; so that an increasing amount of fabrics are printed using this technology.
