Abstract

First introduced at ITMA 1991, textile inkjet printers were a novelty coloration process marketed toward sampling and high-end short runs due to the low production speed of 10 m/hr. At ITMA 2019, nearly thirty years after this technology was first shown, textile ink jet printers reached speeds of 90 meters/min., making this technology highly competitive with rotary screen printing.
