(EMAILWIRE.COM, November 30, 2011 ) Leeds, UK -- From their original use as flags or banners polyesters have become widely used in many varied applications such as exhibition fabrics and in-store graphics where they are considered to be aesthetically pleasing and will provide exceptionally strong and vibrant colors.
Most major digital print machine manufacturers and principally those involved with UV and dye-sublimation, have invested vast amounts of time and money to develop and produce machines that are now wider and faster than could have been envisaged just 5 years ago. This is because of of the ever-widening appeal of polyester fabrics. At the same time inks have kept pace and are now producing better and more consistently reliable colors.
It is due to the popularity of the digital fabric printer that suppliers of media maintain a large and varied stock holding whilst being aware of the constant need and demand to introduce new polyester fabrics into their range. Quite often this means that for most applications there are a number of polyester options available for digitally printed fabric.
The demand for polyester fabrics is forecast to continue to grow as new and varied uses for these fabrics are being found. Fabrics are versatile in their use as they can be printed and then cut to shapes in a way that is not possible with rigid medias. Digital fabric printers have seen this sweeping change and an ever-increasing number each year are bringing textile media into their range or are increasing capacity to meet the demand for digital printing on fabric.
Is quickly apparent when visiting retail outlets such as shopping centers, where it is very easy to see and compare the ways in which polyester fabrics are being used to promote brands and styles. Many leading retailers are specifying polyester fabrics and textile printing as their preferred media of choice. It gives them many options such as Flame Retardancy, excellent show-through or total block-out but always with strong, bright colors and with the ability for polyester fabrics to be recycled this further enhances its appeal. This emphasizes the importance of digital fabric printing.
