And finally, colour management is crucial, because managing the file output to the printing machine, ensures that final product matches the original concept of the designer.

Pattern repeating is an important component in textile printing, as correct repeats are vital in printing a side matched fabric, so that more than one width can be seamlessly joined to another during sewing.Ĭolour reduction and separation is essential because it is the base building block for building colourways, where a pattern may be elegantly changed to match a variety of colour schemes. Specifically, these are the areas of pattern repeating, colour reduction and separation, and production colour management. Yet, designing for textile printing is a complex discipline and has demands that exceed the Photoshop offer in terms of colour accuracy, facility and image manoeuvrability. In a digital textile printing market, predicted to grow to over $8 billion by 2026 (Allied Market Research), Photoshop has provided an entry-level software that has enabled many designers to enter the market and add impetus to the digital print agenda. Over the years Adobe Photoshop has become the software of choice for textile designers, giving access, as it does, to a wide range of tools for transforming and manipulating pixel-based images. The final print is a reflection of the design file produced at the very beginning of the design cycle - Input equal’s output. This requirement for a new depth of image handling and the addition of embedded production data will ensure that the design integrity required for “print-on-demand” is delivered, reducing waste in all aspects of textile production and the supply chain. Our industry is switching to a print-on-demand business model, forcing all stakeholders in the supply chain to accelerate the digitisation of their workflows.įor the design industry – digital artwork has been a mainstay for over 30 years – but the industry now requires seamless integration. As we emerge post pandemic, the race to automated production is on.
