This Stork printer from the 1990s is fully computer-controlled. It is an example of state-of-the-art textile printing technology of the time. It can be used to print images from drawings or objects that have been scanned and, if needed, edited, with a photographic result that is unmatched by traditional techniques (such as flat frame or cylinder printing).
This technique has evolved and can now be used on everything from small to very large pieces with vastly different color ranges. Haute Couture has adopted digital printing in conjunction with frame printing.
It also enables the creation of samples with numerous variants, making it possible to choose the most successful ones in the first stage of production, thereby avoiding costly errors.
