GUEST ARTICLE WRITTEN BY JOS NOTERMANS OF SPGPRINTS
Many printing companies nowadays use both digital and rotary screen printers within their production process. Wouldn’t combining the two printing methods in a hybrid printing machine make more sense?
A logical question, especially when you consider that there are manufacturers that offer single-pass digital machines with one or more rotary stations implemented. It does not look like a difficult mechanical/electrical job and a printer that can print digitally as well as rotary sounds like a useful asset for many companies. However, in the view of SPGPrints hybrid printing machines are rarely a sound investment. In this blog I will explain why.
Note: we assume in this blog that a customer’s desire for a hybrid printer is based on the wish to combine both technologies in the same print job. You could also assume that the printer prints either only rotary or only digital in a job, in which case all the arguments in this blog would not be valid. But we deem that type of application not the basis for the request for a hybrid printer.
Hybrid printing machines: 3 considerations to make
As mentioned, the wish for a hybrid printing machine makes sense. There are some types of designs that would ideally be printed partly with digital and partly with rotary. For example, printing a plain background is more challenging and more expensive with digital printing. For a colorful flower print with a plain black background, the idea of printing the background with rotary screen printing and to print the flowers digitally sounds attractive.
Another example is a golden pattern on a digital print. Gold cannot be printed digitally, so this pattern has to be done separately with a rotary screen printer.
The most obvious solution for these issues is one printer that can print both digital and rotary, so you can make one product with the same printer. A hybrid printing machine is technically possible, but there are three important considerations you have to make.
The loss of certain benefits of digital printing
Perhaps the most prominent disadvantage of a hybrid printing machine is that you miss out on certain advantages of digital printing:
Unlimited repeat length
Time to first print
Efficiency
One of the great advantages of digital textile printing is its flexibility. In a rotary screen printer, the same design returns as soon as the screen has made one full rotation. This means you are bound to a repeat length of the design that is equal to the circumference of the screen. The complete freedom of repeat length that you have with digital textile printing is therefore reduced in a hybrid printing machine.
In addition, your time to first print will be a lot longer, because in order to print with a rotary station, the screen will have to be engraved first. Even if you have your own engraving machine, this will still take a few hours. But if you have to outsource the engraving, your time to first print normally takes at least a few days but often 1-2 weeks.
Another difference between rotary and digital textile printing is the fact that rotary screen printers are far from printing all the time. When you want to change a design, the previous screens have to be removed, the paste has to be taken out, the machine has to be cleaned, and new paste has to be set up. Because of this, rotary screen printers that are printing fashion with relatively short run lengths per design, are usually printing only about 25-50% of the time. This will also be true for a hybrid printing machine, nullifying the biggest advantage of digital printing: its efficiency.
Printing order
Another consideration you have to make if you are using a hybrid printing machine is the order of printing. Do you print the digital part of the design first, or should you start with the part of the design that you want to print with rotary? Let's take the example of the flowers with a black background. Do you print the flowers first or do you start with the background?
The advantage of starting to print the flowers digitally is that the black background printed with rotary provides coverage. This means you could digitally print the flowers a little bigger and then print the background over them with the black screen. This way you don't have any registering problems. But even with the slightest misfit between the screen design and the digital print, there will come a registering problem after tenths or hundreds of screen rotations. So you will need an operator to finetune the rotary printing part to keep the registering.
Another consideration is that the wet digital flower print is physically touched by the screen, which can lead to smearing in the print or ghosting because part of the flower image will stick to screen and be printed back on the fabric in the next rotation of the screen.
To avoid those negative side effects one can argue to start with the rotary screen first. The digital stations don’t touch the wet rotary printed fabric, so there is no danger of smearing or ghosting. Registering can be arranged by using cameras that find the empty flower space in the design, and then adjusting the digital printing pattern accordingly. This is technically possible but requires extra cameras and quite some computer power because the adjustment of the digital file (when exactly to fire which drop) has to happen ‘on the fly’. In a single pass digital printer with a few hundred printheads, each head having over 2.000 nozzles and each nozzle jetting 20-30.000 droplets per second that is quite a calculation job to happen in a split second. Therefore such printers will become significantly more expensive.
Chemicals: pre-treatment and printing paste
Reactive, acid and disperse inks need chemicals to bind the color molecules to the fibers during the steaming process. In rotary, those chemicals are part of the printing paste. In digital this is not possible, because the inks would become too viscous. Therefore digital printing requires pre-treatment to apply those chemicals to the fabric upfront.
Combining digital pre-treatment with rotary paste means that you have an overdose of chemicals in hybrid printing. This can be solved by removing part of the chemicals from the printing paste, but then the paste might become too liquid for the rotary screen and has to be thickened to avoid dripping.
Very likely, this fine tuning of the printing paste will also depend on the cloth and the design in question. For example, how absorbent is the fabric? Do you print small or large flowers on a black background? This determines the ratio digital-rotary and therefore the ratio of binding chemicals in pretreatment and in paste.
For printing with a hybrid printing machine, you have to figure out a lot when it comes to chemicals and resources. A time-consuming process.
Alternatives
There may be a solution to this pretreatment challenge by adding 2 rotary stations before the digital printing part. The first rotary station prints the background so it has a screen where the screen holes for the black part are open and the holes for the flower part are closed. The second rotary screen print station has a screen that is the slide negative of the screen of the first station. So the screen holes for the black part are closed and the holes for the flower part are open. So this screen will rotary “print” a pre-treatment on the spot where the flowers will come. This way you only pre-treat the spots where digital ink is supposed to come. This means you can use your usual printing paste for printing the background.
Having said all that, we can go back to the elementary question of why you would want to print the background not with digital in the first place? There are two drivers for this: cost and the fear of a non-uniform background when printing digital. The cost factor becomes doubtedly because the hybrid printer will become quite expensive. The fear of non-uniform backgrounds might be resolved by placing a printing station with printheads that print large drops in a low resolution in your digital machine. Large drops mean large holes which means less likely to clog. This enables your digital printer to print blotches, while you don't have to build in rotary screen printing and thus avoid the mentioned disadvantages of hybrid printing.
Hybrid printing machines: useful or utopia?
In short, it is possible to develop hybrid printing machines and there are in fact suppliers that make such machines. However, there is not yet a single user who makes full use of a hybrid printer. The technical possibility for hybrid printing machines is there, but the economic attractiveness is not. The demand for such printers is explainable, but if you look at the facts, hybrid machines are not an economical solution. That’s because implementing screens on a digital machine only makes sense if you only print large run lengths and always make the same kind of design. And you don’t need digital for that.
In this blog, a few technical problems of hybrid printing machines have been highlighted. Even if you can already solve or accept these issues, you have to think carefully about whether there is an economic justification for this investment. How much work do you actually have for such a hybrid printer? Does it really have added value for your company and production process?
In the view of SPGPrints the answer to these questions is no, using separate digital or rotary printers is still the most efficient solution. That's why SPGPrints developed the Archer Technology that enables our PIKE Single-Pass Printing Platform and our JAVELIN scanning printers to be able to print perfect uniform blotches.

Colour Is Too Important to Leave to Chance
Print will always be the part of the garment people see first.
But the sum of all parts — the fabric, the trims, the fasteners, the finish — is what determines whether a design actually delivers on its promise. Brands that continue to treat colour as a single creative decision, rather than a coordinated technical discipline spanning their entire supply chain, will keep paying for it in re-dips, delays, and disappointed design teams.
A Century of Textiles, and an Ever-changing World
Few companies can trace their roots back more than a century and still count themselves among their industry's innovators. Texia, headquartered in Monistrol de Montserrat, Spain, is one of them.
But the story of Texia is not simply one of longevity.
It is a story of continual reinvention. As the textile industry has grown more global and competitive, Texia has repeatedly reshaped its business, investing in technology, developing its own brands, and placing sustainability at the centre of its mission. In doing so, it offers a compelling example of how a heritage manufacturer can lead rather than follow through a period of profound industry change. Image Credit: Texia
What are we craving Ultimately?
The instinct to slow down while simultaneously optimising every measurable aspect of life isn't a passing curiosity. It's a structural response to a world that feels increasingly unstable, and it's reshaping what people expect from their homes, hotels, workplaces and healthcare environments alike.
For the design and manufacturing sectors, this means rethinking both product and process.
The Structual Shift is Real and its Already Here
Volumes are moving east, where digital production is accelerating rapidly. Consumer behaviour has shifted.
Demand is now driven by personalisation, shorter buying cycles, and an expectation of near-instant responsiveness. Regulatory pressure is intensifying, with supply chain transparency now a legal and commercial fact in many markets. And margins? They are under sustained, structural pressure.
This is not a temporary disruption. It is a fundamental reordering of how textile manufacturing must operate.
The Challenge: Standing Firm as the Industry Shifts
The wallpaper landscape has changed dramatically. Digital printing has lowered the barrier to entry, spawning countless direct-to-consumer brands and pushing much of the market towards faster, cheaper production.
At the same time, manufacturing in the UK has grown steadily harder - rising minimum wage, national insurance, energy and substrate costs all bear down on margins. Surface Print have embraced all of these challenges - and stand resolutely prepared for the future.
From Helsinki's printing mill to Paris's Le Marais, discover how Marimekko is scaling a design-led brand with purpose, craft, and bold innovation.
But what makes Marimekko's story compelling is not just its aesthetic legacy?
The word "toxic" carries weight. It conjures danger, harm, and things best avoided.
“Yet in the textile industry - Where between 3,000 and 10,000 chemicals move through the supply chain, a reflexive fear of the term is one of our biggest obstacles to progress.”
This article distils the key takeaways and what buyers, designers, and brands should be asking right now.
What Is the Digital Product Passport?
At its core, a Digital Product Passport is a digital record attached to a physical product - For a printed textile product, this means the DPP would capture data on the substrate, inks and dyes used, the printing process and technology, chemical compliance, environmental impact (including water and energy use), supply chain traceability, and end-of-life instructions.
The Market Gap that Changed Everything
Future Fashion was founded in 2019, timed deliberately to coincide with a pivotal moment in global textile technology: the commercial launch of the EFI Reggiani BOLT Single-Pass digital printing system.
The founders recognised that single-pass architecture had fundamentally changed what was industrially possible - and that Pakistan's domestic market had yet to catch up.
Print is no longer defined by the inefficiencies that once characterised it…as advances in production processes and technology have significantly improved its environmental performance.
Taran Rai, Corporate Sustainability Manager at Epson explains why?
The story of what happens when young designers access digital technology is still being written.
What once was a theoretical sustainability goal seems to have shifted into an active regulatory reality.
Is the Textile Market Finally Recovering?
After a difficult few years, there are genuine reasons for optimism. Duncan was candid about the challenges: "The market for textiles has been very difficult over the last three years. I'm not going to hide the truth there. But the tide is turning.“
A profound shift is currently reshaping the sector
Changing consumer expectations demand greater design diversity, faster turnaround times, and sustainable manufacturing practices.
To thrive, interior brands must adapt their supply chains, bringing production closer to the end consumer and moving away from bulk manufacturing.
Digital textile printing offers a definitive solution to these operational bottlenecks.
Digital transformation doesn't announce itself.
It accumulates - one innovation at a time - until an entire industry looks back and realises the ground has shifted beneath its feet. That's precisely where textiles stands today.
The conversations happening now about AI, automation, sustainability, and digital product passports are not theoretical. They are shaping decisions being made on factory floors and in boardrooms right now.
“By leveraging advanced digital textile printing, Marylene Madou has successfully merged traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. Her approach offers a blueprint for how independent designers can scale their brands globally while maintaining a minimal environmental footprint.”
The textile industry is undergoing a vital transformation. As the insights from Techtextil and Texprocess reveal, the path forward relies on a combination of sustainable hardware, intelligent chemistry, and seamless digital workflows.
From Zimmer's industrial-scale energy reductions and Stratasys's on-demand 3D embellishments, to Kornit's single-step technical printing and the unified digital ecosystems of NedGraphics and Optitex, the tools for change are here. To stay competitive, brands and manufacturers must adopt these innovations, moving away from fragmented, wasteful processes towards a truly connected, circular economy.
Friedmans stands as a testament to the power of combining traditional textile knowledge with forward-thinking innovation.
“Operating from their UK headquarters, Friedmans now serves a diverse array of sectors, including swimwear, dance, entertainment, sportswear, interior decor, prosthetics, and even pet apparel. With a strategic supply chain that reliably serves clients worldwide”
The apparel decoration industry is decisively moving away from isolated, analogue production tools toward connected digital manufacturing environments.
"Kornit’s unwavering commitment to transformative technology continues to disrupt the status quo. For business leaders and innovators ready to capture the future of apparel manufacturing, the path forward is clear”
The Urgent Need for Sustainability at Scale
The transformation at Coats provides a vital blueprint for the wider textile and apparel sector. True sustainability cannot be achieved in silos. As Dearing emphasised:
“Cross-industry collaboration is the engine of meaningful change. Brands, machinery suppliers, chemical providers, and fibre producers must act as an interconnected ecosystem”
Today’s customers demand superior product quality, real-time data visibility, and lightning-fast turnaround times.
For large-scale garment decorators, managing these expectations while balancing seasonal demand fluctuations - such as the massive surges seen during Black Friday - presents a monumental challenge.
"Relying on transactional vendor relationships and outdated legacy equipment is no longer sufficient to secure long-term stability and growth.”
Printing method is never a secondary detail. It shapes the entire life cycle of a product, from concept to customer. In today’s fashion industry, where margins are tighter and speed matters more than ever, technical knowledge has become a competitive advantage.
“The future of textile design belongs to professionals who can combine creativity with execution, aesthetics with practicality, and vision with production reality”.
