Since the introduction of inkjet textile printing technology in 2003, at ITMA in Birmingham, UK, textile inkjet printing production has changed from inkjet textile sample printing to complete production printing. However, the overall penetration rates for digital inkjet technology in the textile printing sectors are still meager compared with conventional analog printing technologies. Based on empirical research, including international case studies and field trips over the past 10 years, this paper disseminates current utilization of inkjet technologies. Ascertaining user standpoints, mills, printing service operations and designer perspectives will be investigated in relation to commercial applications. Missing links between the manufacturers, engineering concepts, and the end-users demands, will be also be scrutinized.
