Solution and Method
The diploma thesis examines the impact of digital printing on T-shirts in the modern textile industry and compares new printing methods with traditional techniques such as screen printing. Digital printing, particularly DTG technology, has gained popularity due to its flexibility, production speed and the possibility of customising designs in smaller print runs. The work also mentions the role of artificial intelligence, which contributes to the automation and optimisation of processes in the industry.
AI, using algorithms for trend analysis, design personalisation and control of printing processes, improves efficiency and sustainability and enables designers to create customised and complex designs more quickly. The work combines various research techniques, from surveying consumers to assess preferences such as quality, durability and customisability of printed T-shirts, to interviews with experts that reveal the advantages and disadvantages of digital printing and the role of artificial intelligence in the development of new technologies in the printing process.
The analysis shows that digital printing is more cost-effective for smaller runs and personalisation, as it enables the production of products without additional costs for template preparation, but the cost per unit for larger runs is still lower with the screen printing technique. In addition, consumers increasingly value sustainable solutions, which gives preference to digital printing, which has a smaller environmental footprint, compared to screen printing, which requires more water and energy for production. The modern textile industry faces challenges such as increased competition, sustainability targets and rapid changes in market trends.
Digital printing with artificial intelligence enables companies to adapt their processes to specific market needs, whilst increasing productivity and reducing negative environmental impact. The work finds that digital printing enables clothing companies to adapt products to modern market requirements, such as uniqueness, rapid design adaptation and the use of sustainable practices. The use of artificial intelligence in the design and optimisation of printing processes enables higher productivity and better consumer satisfaction.
