"Photo-realistic prints of New York street scenes differentiate New York swimwear brand Graffinis, founded by designer Paul Cartelli in 2007. Cartelli uses digital photography of the city's graffiti, neon signage, and other iconic images, rescaling them to work with the body. The images are digitally placed on nylon tricot to fit within the confines of swimwear pattern pieces, then cut and sewn. This means that only the fabric needed for the suit itself is printed, eliminating wasted ink and fabric. - See more at: http://www.knittingindustry.com/knitters-join-the-digital-print-revolution/#sthash.R6YV3szR.dpuf"
Rotorary printing is being overtaken by inket printing as it catches up on printing speeds.
"Miroglio Textiles, one of Europe's largest textile printers, features printed fine gauge knits in their Dream division; and incorporated digital printing into their production in Govone, Italy, several years ago. The company has recently invested in the Konica Minolta Nassenger PRO 1000, which can print 600 square metres/hour set at the standard resolution of 540 x 720 dpi, and up to 1000 square metres/hour at a lower resolution. Paolo Gramaglia, Miroglio Textile's business unit director, points out that "Digital technology will allow us to solve the impossible equation between standardization and customization by not only offering a beautiful collection, but by offering our clients the opportunity to have more customization." - See more at: http://www.knittingindustry.com/knitters-join-the-digital-print-revolution/#sthash.R6YV3szR.dpuf"

Development of contemporary digital print for fashion.
"
Developing over the last two decades, digital technology has enabled designers to create a new range of prints in bold, eye-catching colors and patterns, the likes of which were not possible even a few seasons ago.
Digital printing allows designers to rapidly reproduce and manipulate images and apply them to any textile. This revolutionary technology has significantly impacted designers’ ability to create customized designs."
