Innovations Driving the Growth of Digital Textile Printing
The digital textile printing market, driven by market trends, technical innovation and consequent new production solutions is growing extensively, and during the first half of 2023 two significant trends have emerged that have added a significant impetus to its progression.
In a textile printing market in which Digital Textile Printing is predicted to be worth over USD $8 billion by 2030 (Grand View Research), and where some experts believe that 25% of all printed textile production will be digital by 2040 - machinery makers, software houses and ink manufacturers have together, made 2023 a year to remember.
In 2023, the most significant trend is the move to offering one-step digital textile, direct to fabric pigment printing across the marketplace, from industrial volume to SME’s of varying scales.
One-Step digital textile printing simplifies the manufacturing process and removes the requirement for additional ancillary resources: saving water, energy and time in the process. In One-Step production, the fabric doesn’t require pre or post-treatment, finished production is all taken care of and these R2R textiles are ready to dispatch.
Kornit Digital, first disrupted the direct to fabric print market with the Presto machine in 2019. Their one step digital textile, direct to fabric, pigment machine was a revolutionary concept. Since that launch, Kornit have continued development, adding a fabric softener to the NeoPigment™ Robusto ink as well as, ground breaking XDI technology which allows the production of surface effects directly onto printed fabric. The resultant fabrics are vibrant in colour, soft to the touch and, because the process uses pigment inks, available for use on the entire range of fabric compositions from Silk and Cotton to Polyester and Polyester blends.
Across the entire print machinery community, single-step has continued to evolve and 2023 has seen a colossal increase in the availability of machinery for one-step digital textile printing using pigment inks:
At Optimum Digital the Nirvana printing machine, which offers a waterless textile printing solution without the need for pre and post treatment, helps the print house contribute to the protection of rapidly decreasing clean water resources across the globe, and importantly reduces the operational costs of the printer. Optimal Digital state that: “this sustainable textile printing solution from Optimum Digital reduces the overall cost of print by 50% and energy and chemical costs by 80% in addition to conserving natural resources and preventing wastewater generation”.
At D.gen, the Artrix H8 which uses CBS (pre-treatment by print heads) Technology to ensure that the in-line fixation system helps reduce costs and increase profitability by speeding up the process. D-gen commented: “The printing process with pigment inks is direct and doesn't require coating and finishing operations, such as steaming and washing, delivering vibrant colours and perfect softness for just-in-time delivery or sewing”.
At MS Printing Solutions the new JP7 Pigment machine is offered using Digistar Pigment 4K, from JK Group, in a patent pending ink that doesn’t require pre- and post-treatment. MS commented: “The complete JP7 solution reduces the digital printing process steps by 50%, water consumption by 100%, and generally reduces energy consumption”.
At Aleph, their one-step machine the 400H prints at 150 m2/hr, to non-coated fabrics with a fully integrated in-line solution with their new highly innovative pigment inks. “A simple, waterless sustainable alternative to reactive dye printing”.
At Atexco, their X-1-Pro model uses nine printheads, 2 for pre-treatment, six for inks and 1 for post treatment, which with fixation in-line delivers a truly one step process.
EFI Reggiani’s ecoTERRA digital textile printer, offers an all-in-one solution for water-based pigment printing that requires no ancillary equipment for pre- and post-treatment. According to the company, the newest lineup “significantly reduces water, energy, and chemicals consumption in the overall process”—resulting in a sustainable, direct-to-fabric printing solution.
Beyond these offerings, there were another five or six ranging from Epson’s ML 13000 concept machine to the Kyocera FOREARTH, all of which offer a one-step digital pigment printing process. As 2023 progresses, machinery buyers and potential manufacturers have an increased range of One-Step machinery and inks to choose from, with sales reflecting the interest that has been shown.
The second significant movement in the market is the growth of demand for Direct to Film (DTF) Digital Printers.
DTF technology has been in the background for a number of years, and was previously adopted by smaller scale, SME’s, craft printers and independents. The machinery on offer was small scale desk-top type devices.
However, DTF has become more prominent during the course of the last year, with the availability of higher volume production DTF technologies which have opened up the market - with particular emphasis on sportswear, customised workwear and personalised garments. The success of these new machines is a direct result of recent innovations providing improved handle and durability, a much faster product production rate - the film is first digitally printed, used immediately or stored prior to transfer to garments. DTF offers the printer a variable production process, reportedly cheaper than DTG with added ease of use. It demonstrates once again the market shift to one-step, inline print solutions:
Hanrun Paper now offer their EVO A-600 DTF printer with high automation capabilities, and the SEN A-331 DTF printer with integrated printing, shaking and drying. Hanrun highlighted “the perfect colour reproduction, fine and smooth lines, and soft and flexible printing texture of DTF printing and the DTF hot stamping effect, which adds boldness and sparkle to garment designs with DTF gold foil printing” when using their technology.
Adelco's DTF printer is a four-headed DTF printer, with an automatic re-circulation powder and dryer system. Adelco say that “the brand-new DTF printer is the fastest and highest-spec digital, direct-to-film printer in the market. Delivering high-definition prints in various fabrics with its incorporated eco-friendly water-based pigment ink. Supplemented with an in-line drying and cooler system”.
The TxF150-75 is Mimaki’s first DTF (Direct-to-Film) printer was launched earlier this year. Packed with Mimaki technology to overcome the common ink ejection and ink sedimentation issues of current DTF printers in the market. “Using genuine Mimaki heat transfer pigment ink, which has acquired ECO PASSPORT certification, it assures skin friendly printing at the highest image quality. This unique combination ensures a highly reliable and stable DTF print workflow, and is combined with Mimaki’s guaranteed ongoing service and after purchase support”.
Epson’s hybrid SureColor F2270 for both direct-to-garment (DTG) and direct-to-film (DTF) printing has also just arrived onto the marketplace. The hybrid SureColor F2270 DTG printer incorporates DTF printing capabilities and goes beyond traditional garment printing and transfer to a wider variety of materials, including uniquely shaped items.
From STS Inks comes the STS XPJ 1682D 64” DTF Printer from Japan which has a staggered dual-head design that provides ultra-fast print speeds. STS commented: “It produces smooth gradations while delivering high-quality printing even with reduced resolution. The XPJ-1682D features automatic bi-directional alignments, a user-friendly touch panel, added LED lighting, and an upgraded media feed flange that allows operators to easily and quickly load media and exchange multiple rolls. The XPJ-1682D is paired with STS’s DTF ink, which offers users excellent colour gamut and outstanding durability”.
The march of DTF has the potential to disrupt the DTG market. In further developments for DTF there has also been significant progress in DTF ink developments:
Dupont, for example, now offer the Artistri® P1600 direct-to-film (DTF) pigment inks which they say “are ideal for DTF printers looking for a professionally printed product with consistent, vibrant colors on a variety of fabrics. The Artistri® P1600 DTF ink set allows for profiling with reduced ink volume delivering both efficiency and productivity as equipment runs cleaner for longer”.
And InkTec say that “their (DTF) printing ink, offered in a range of colours including CMYK, plus white, gives a superior printing quality and vivid colour performance, even when used with delicate graphics. Compatible with printers with the Epson i3200 print head. It has an excellent adhesion and transfer rate, offers a superior soap and water resistance and maintains consistent printing quality under high speeds with lower production costs”.
As can be seen from the array of new developments above, the growth of One-Step Digital Pigment printers and the advance of DTF digital printing have provided two vibrant avenues for growth for the Digital Textile Community.
Both of these trends show that the Digital Print Industry is not simply treading water, but examining every technological horizon to both disrupt and continue to create new applications, generating new markets and infinite commercial opportunities.
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”.
