Digital Jacquard and Inkjet Woven Fabric
topic
Digital Jacquard systems with hook capacities of 6144 to 20480 combine with high-speed looms operating at 300 to 500 picks per minute to produce woven fabrics with photographic-quality image reproduction, with digital workflow from design to production enabling mass customisation of woven fabric images for personalised home textiles and luxury fashion accessories, while woven label production uses small-format high-resolution Jacquard looms for brand labels with millimetre-scale detail.
Role
Represents the convergence of digital design technology with Jacquard weaving capability that enables production of woven fabrics with image quality previously achievable only by printing, expanding the application range of woven fabric design to include photographic imagery, complex multicolour pictorial designs, and mass-customised personalised products that require the image flexibility of digital design combined with the tactile quality and durability of woven construction.
