DTP’s features like unlimited printing and flexibility are attracting entrepreneurs as well as end consumers.

DTP has many advantages compared to the conventional printing method. The best aspect of digital printing technology is that there is no limitation on the usage of colours or repeat size. Multiple colour shades can be printed on the fabric at a time, which is not the case with traditional printing techniques. In addition to saving time and cost, DTP can also potentially produce millions of colours and shades.
