A digital textile printer in Italy applies primer to fabric before the finishing machine. The moisture makes the material more receptive to ink, which is critical for complex, colorful graphics. Even coating from right to left ensures the final print stays crisp and vibrant.
As we could see, it comes out extremely colorful, extremely crisp, and that's a really high-quality digital print. This is the machine to apply the primer to the fabric. After this operation, the print is done. It's making the fabric a little bit moister. I think the goal is for the ink from the digital printer to adhere much better to the fabric. It's a little bit wet, it's a little bit more malleable, and she's moving the fabric from right to left to ensure to coat the entire fabric in primer because the whole piece of fabric is going to go into the machine. The previous step is extremely important because in this particular case, it's a very colorful graphic that's being printed onto the fabric, and since there's such a mixture of colors, it really needs to adhere well to that fabric. So you need to make sure to prime the fabric properly, and that's a really high-quality digital print.
