Digital linen is a relatively new concept of fashion that has evolved from using linen fabric, which has the elegance of digital printing to it apart from the traditional linen fabric. This approach is more complex than the traditional manual procedure and enables complex design pat terns, bright colors, and pattern variations to be incorporated into the final product and thus provides a more edgy and contemporary feel. Digital printing on this fabric involves a direct process, and therefore removes the complexity of the chemical process found in conventional linen dyeing. This approach for sustainable production has the benefits of using less water and preventing hazardous chemicals from polluting the textile products. Digital linen can be used in various ways that includes fashion, home designing, upholstery and industrial textiles. Because it is durable, good at letting air through and as soft as natural fibres it is used in garments, beddings and curtains. This also makes it perfect for small scale productions, special occasions and unique pieces which a customer would want for themselves only. So now it is time to embrace digital linen as a new addition to the textile industry that is filled with traditions. It is a versatile fabric which is sustainable and has a beauty about it that makes it unique from the regular fabrics.
