Digital printing on fabric is very similar to regular inkjet printing, where the fabric is fed through a large printer, with dye cartridges that are used in combination to produce the image. As a designer it gives you loads of flexibility because your print can be as wide as your fabric and any length so you don’t have to worry about repeating the pattern. Digital printing can also produce an infinite array of colours so there are no limitations in that respect either, though getting the right colours can be a trial. There is often a big difference between the image produced on the screen, and the colours created by the printer so trialling is hugely necessary to get your colours right. I hope to use some digital printing within my collection to add another layer of interest within the clothing.
