Abstract
A method comprises: coating a high-elasticity coating on a rubber foam or high-elasticity fabric of a wetsuit to form a substrate to be printed; providing a digital printing machine for uploading an image file of a pattern or logo to the digital printing machine; and providing a vacuum system having a sucking platform formed with a plurality of sucking holes through the sucking platform; and laying the substrate to be printed on the sucking platform, whereby upon operation of the vacuum system and actuation of the digital printing machine, the image of the pattern or logo will be digitally printed on the substrate as laid on the sucking platform for successfully digitally printing the patterns on the wetsuits.
Claims6
A method for printing patterns on wetsuits, comprising the steps of:
- a. preforming a receiving substrate (or substrate to be printed) by coating a high-elasticity coating on a rubber foam or high-elasticity fabric by digitally-controlled spray coating to form said receiving substrate;
- b. preparation of a digital printing machine using an elastic ink, and having a pattern image file uploaded in said digital printing machine;
- c. setting up a vacuum system for the digital printing machine;
- and
- d. actuation of the digital printing machine for printing pattern image on the receiving substrate as sucked by the vacuum system for increasing printability of the receiving substrate under tension as effected by the vacuum system for obtaining a printed wetsuit.
