Why are more and more customers choosing digital printing?
Printed silk fabrics are very popular in the fashion circle, such as printed silk charmeuse, silk crepe de chine and silk twill are our best-sellers. Among various types of printing methods, digital printing is becoming more and more common and accepted by us.
Why are more and more customers choosing digital printing instead of other types, such as screen printing or hot stamping? Here are the reasons.
1. Digital printing on silk fabrics requires a much smaller minimum order quantity. Technically, one or two rolls can be accepted as a bulk order. It is worth mentioning that mixed designs can be accepted even with such a small minimum order quantity. Screen printing requires up to 600-800 meters per design. For some customers, this may be too much.
2. Digital printing requires much less sample cost. It is usually charged based on the complete design, no matter how many colors are in the design. Screen printing charges according to the number of colors. And some "irregular" designs or designs involving more than 8-10 color combinations are not suitable for printing by screen printing. With digital printing, almost all designs can be printed.
3. Shorter production time. With digital printing, proofing takes 7-10 days, and mass production takes 7-15 days, while screen printing takes almost twice as long.
