COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF DIRECT AND INDIRECT DIGITAL PRINTING ON TEXTILE

Alain advantages of' digital printing techniques compared to the classical ones are the speed of print, the possibility of variable printing, and copying in small print runs. In practice, textile print can be perdormed in two ways: using direct or indirect printing. Characteristic transfer foil "PS BL4NC2", "White print liner" (indirect print) and "Solvent-flag" (direct print) were used for the print. The aim of this study was to determine the differences in these printing processes, which were aimed at determining the color differences between different printing substrates and standard values according to the standard ISO 124672. The results of instrumental analysis were obtained by spectrophotometric measurements upon which the color differences in CIE Delta E-1994 were calculated. The results show deviations in color reproduction in relation to the standard assumed color values. The largest deviations were identified in the "PS BLANC2" process, while they are smaller in "White printliner" and "Solventflag". By comparing the results, it can be concluded that changing the printing substrates results in significant color deviations.
