The inks used in digital Fabrics printing are formulated specifically for each type of fibre (cotton, silk, polyester, nylon, etc). During the printing process, the fabric is fed through the printer using rollers and ink is applied onto the surface in the form of thousands of tiny droplets.

The fabric is then finished using heat and/or steam to cure the ink (some inks also require washing and drying).
