Garment printing machines are distinguished by printing methods. There are two digital printing methods: direct injection and transfer printing. There are four types of digital printing according to the process: sublimation, pigment digital printing, reactive digital printing, and acid digital printing. The core equipments are all textile digital printing machines, but with different processes, the inks used are different, and the applicable fabrics are different.

1. Distinguish by printing method

Direct injection means that the textile digital printing machine directly prints the ink on the fabric. Pigment digital printing, reactive digital printing, and acid digital printing are all in the category of direct injection. At present, the more common cotton direct printer is the most conventional direct injection. One of the crafts. Sublimation is to spray the ink on the transfer paper first, and then use the transfer machine to sublimate the pattern onto the clothes through high temperature.

2. Distinguish by printing process

If distinguished by printing process, there are four ways of digital printing, namely sublimation, pigment digital printing, reactive digital printing, and acid digital printing.

Sublimation is mainly used to print chemical fiber fabrics, such as jerseys, curtains, etc., using dispersed ink.

Pigment digital printing is mainly used to print pure cotton fabrics, such as pure cotton T-shirts, sweaters, denims, ready-made garments, cut pieces, and piece cloth. It uses paint ink, which is environmentally friendly and non-polluting. It is pure cotton. The direction of digital printing.

Reactive printing machines are mainly used for printing on pure cotton fabrics, using reactive inks. Large batches of pure cotton fabrics are used for printing. However, due to its high pollution and unenvironmental protection, it will be gradually replaced by pigment digital printing.

Acid digital printing is mainly used for the printing of wool products, silk, nylon and other fabrics. It also has the characteristics of pollution, but there is no other better alternative process.
