If you are producing digital textiles or working with direct-to-garment solutions, you know that building the right workflow can be a challenge. The elements are evolving to meet new production requirements and to take advantage of new types of workflow solutions. It isn’t only the types of fabric and inks that keep changing either; it is how designers want to buy those production jobs that expands continuously. If you are adding digital textile production to your traditional textile production shop, or adding digital textile production to your existing digital production offerings, the key to your success will be your business and production workflows.
