Digital textile printing has become one of the most important manufacturing processes for mass customization of clothing goods, especially for short-run prints. In this method, high color strength and fastness are very important. In this study, the optimization of the printing process was investigated using the Taguchi method. To determine the optimum conditions for color strength and fastness, two types of multiple characteristic parameter design methods were used, including the single characteristic value conversion method and the minimum-maximum selection method. Both methods suggested better conditions than currently used methods.

Digital textile printing (DTP) is widely used because it is more efficient and simpler than conventional textile printing methods. Digital transfer textile printing (DTTP) is one of the most efficient and simplest DTP methods. In this study, the optimum process conditions for DTTP have been investigated, to minimize the distortion of printed images and maximize the color reproducibility. First, a novel measurement method for fabric shrinkage and image distortion was developed. Then 9 characteristic values were defined and a series of experiments were designed and performed using the Taguchi method. Finally, two different multiple-characteristic value analyses were performed on the results. In one method, 9 characteristic values were converted into a single value. In the other method, the characteristic values were divided into 3 groups for analysis. Finally, results from the two methods were compared to determine which method was more suitable.
