INTRODUCTION

The introduction of digital technology into industrial processes in general is evolving strongly and dynamically. This fact is visible in the rapid development of printing technology based on the integration of printing machine and computer. Digitization in the development so far has caused numerous changes that are visible in every production of printed textiles in which the application of Ink Jet printing technology (dominant digital printing techniques) creates opportunities for personalized printing and printing on demand. Without the process of digitization and digital printing, it is not possible to imagine today's business activities and their progress. Being able to order a personalized sample of materials, high quality, and in a short time, is really something new. Previously, it depended on a complicated technological process that was unprofitable in a small edition. Now it represents great business opportunities for profit in the market and its profitable conquest. In the world market since 2012, the need for this type of printing is growing rapidly. It is ubiquitous in the fashion industry, and its many practical and creative aspects are increasingly appealing to designers. With the introduction of digital printing, the number of samples that can be printed in small quantities is infinite. For textile printing, it is important to understand how to work with certain textile materials and dyes for the highest quality end product. Printing ink is the most important for a quality print, and in order to achieve product durability, it is necessary to investigate which dyes can withstand external influences, light and washing, and at the same time be suitable for reproducing designs on all types of textile materials.

Many disciplines and competencies contribute to producing digital textile printing. In addition to print head design and manufacture, material handling engineering, and ink chemistry, are textile manufacture and pre-treatment, post-print finishing, design, raster image processing (RIP), and color management software.
