The research on digital inkjet printing technology started late in China. It was not until 1990s that relevant research reports began to appear in 1990s. However, it was limited to the exploratory research of some scientific research institutes. Honghua digital Polytron Technologies Inc was one of the first enterprises to apply digital technology to industrial production.

Honghua digital Polytron Technologies Inc began to study the application of digital inkjet printing technology in the textile industry in 1997. In 2000, the first digital inkjet printing machine in China was successfully developed. The company has a complete independent intellectual property system and has laid the foundation for the industrialization of textile digital inkjet printing in China.

In 2007, the company launched the third generation of VEGA high-speed belt type inkjet printing machine. In the same year, VEGA digital inkjet printing system was exhibited at the ITMA exhibition. In 2011, the company launched the fourth generation VEGA high-speed conduction band digital inkjet printing machine. The highest inkjet printing speed can reach 400 square meters per hour.

The digital inkjet printing machine of Hangzhou open source computer technology Co., Ltd. and Hangzhou Sai Shun Electrical and mechanical equipment Co., Ltd. also have a certain market share.

< /p >

< p > at present, the proportion of digital inkjet printing in China's textile printing industry is very small, accounting for less than 1% of the total printing volume.

According to statistics, over the past 2008~2011 years, the total printing volume, the amount of digital inkjet printing and the number of digital inkjet printing machines in the domestic market are shown in Table 1.

< /p >

< p > as of 2011, there are about 700 sets of digital inkjet printing machines in China.

The existing digital inkjet printing equipment generally adopts the micro voltage sprinkler made in Japan, 8 colors, 360 holes per color, and the width of printing is 1600mm or 2200mm.

Before 2010, the printing speed of the digital inkjet printing machine was generally 20~50 square meters / hour.

< p > < strong > (1) have a rapidly developing market condition < /strong > < /p >

< p > with the progress of our society, economic development and the improvement of living standards, the consumption concept of textile market has undergone major changes. People's consumption demand for "multi varieties, personalization, short cycle, cultural creativity and environmental protection" textiles is increasing day by day.

< /p >

< p > at present, the typical trend of textile printing market is that the number of printing orders in small and medium quantities is increasing rapidly, while the number of large orders gradually shrinks, while the requirements for pattern design, fineness and quality are improved, and the delivery cycle is shortened.

The terminal product structure of the textile and dyeing industry is undergoing a profound adjustment. The terminal demand driven by "customer personalization and rapid changeful" forces enterprises to abandon the traditional "textile printing and dyeing" business mode of "mass and slow change". On the one hand, enterprises are facing the pressure of shortening delivery time, improving product quality, reducing inventory cost and improving service, and have to respond rapidly to changing market, and continuously develop products that meet individual needs. On the other hand, consumers are not satisfied with the standardized products provided by mass production in the past.

Digital inkjet printing meets the personalized, fashionable and fast changing consumption trends, and adapts to the pformation from the traditional business model to the "small batch, personalized, rapid response" new business model.

< /p >

< p > < strong > (two) is in line with the requirements of environmental protection, low carbon and sustainable development < /strong > < /p >

< p > printing and dyeing is a process of hot working and wet processing. In the process of processing, a certain amount of water and energy will be consumed and corresponding printing and dyeing wastewater will be produced.

After years of rapid development, the printing and dyeing industry is increasingly restricted by resources and environment.

Compared with traditional printing, digital ink jet printing has the characteristics of no need of plate making, saving dyes and chemicals, energy saving and water saving, and reducing pollutant emissions. It is an eco-friendly and environment-friendly clean production technology, which meets the requirements of environmental protection, low carbon and sustainable development in printing and dyeing industry.

China's digital inkjet printing equipment manufacturers have independently developed a new generation of high speed conduction belt digital inkjet printing machine with accuracy up to 600dpi and printing speed up to 400~1000 square meters / hour. Compared with the previous digital inkjet printing machine, the speed of printing and printing has greatly increased, and it has the foundation of industrial production.

< /p >

< p > the cost of ink has been greatly reduced.

China's ink used for textile digital ink jet printing has gone through the process of importing from abroad to domestic production and supply. The price of imported foreign trade has reached 500~1000 yuan / kg at the early stage. In recent years, China has achieved a significant reduction in the price of domestic ink, such as reactive dye ink to 200~300 yuan / kg by mastering the ink formula technology and realizing the localization of printing ink, and has also made breakthroughs in the applicability and stability of textile printing.

In the future, our country will further develop the ink raw materials and realize the localization of raw materials on the basis of mastering the independent formula. With the rapid increase in the use of ink for digital inkjet printing in China, the price of domestic ink can also be reduced to 100~200 yuan / kg, and the cost of jet printing will be further reduced.
