Focus sustainability The sustainability issue is a focus for market consumers and operators in the textile industry as well as for ITMA, "Innovation for industry sustainability." Inkjet printing is a sustainable alternative to traditional printing. The advantages are not only financial and organisational but also ecological. Today’s fashion industry is increasingly sensitive to sustainability issues and is finding in digital textile printing a powerful ally, so that an increasing amount of fabrics are printed using this technology.
