The Indian garment and textile industry is large and growing. Big brands, buying offices and retailers from across the world have been using India for outsourcing garments and other finished textile products at prices lower than those prevailing in western countries. The industry for conventional garment and textile printing is well established. A new and growing phenomenon in this space is digital printing. The penetration of digital printing is currently less than 1% of the total production but this is set to change rapidly. Conventional fabric printing is done through weaving, dyeing and screen printing. For the longest time there has been no option for short run fabric printing. Epson the world leader in digital imaging has recently launched dye sublimation printers that make short run printing on fabrics a reality. Ideal for complicated print jobs on fabric and short runs or jobs that are urgent, these printers are changing the specialized textile printing market. Garment exporters, fashion designers, sporting garment manufacturers, interior decorators and even soft signage manufacturers are seeing the benefits of using these printers.
Apart from the textile industry these dye sublimation printers can also be used to print on a variety of different substrates like glass, wood, ceramic and metal & fabric. This makes them useful for applications like specialty photo printing, customized kitchen cabinets, personalized home furnishings , unique gift articles and more. Photographers, interior designers, architects and gift manufacturers now have many more options to explore their creativity and expand their offering to customers.
