Votre impression est-elle écologique ?

Yes. Our printing processes are designed to minimize environmental impact at every stage — from the inks and chemicals we use to the way the machines operate. Here's what that means in practice.

No water, no wastewater

Natural fabric printing on the Kornit Presto system requires no wet post-processing. Traditional textile printing involves steaming, washing, and chemical fixation baths after printing — processes that consume large amounts of water and generate contaminated wastewater. Our digital pigment process fixes ink in a single dry pass, which means zero water consumption and zero wastewater discharge during production.

Print only what is ordered — no overproduction waste

Because we print digitally with no minimum order quantity, we produce exactly what each order requires — nothing more. There is no pre-printed stock sitting in a warehouse, no unsold inventory, and no fabric waste from minimum run requirements. This on-demand model is fundamentally more sustainable than conventional batch textile manufacturing.

Certified inks, pretreatment, and softener

The inks, pretreatment solution, and softener used in our natural fabric printing process carry the following certifications:

  • OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100, Classes I and II — tested and certified free from over 100 harmful substances, including heavy metals, formaldehyde, allergenic dyes, and pesticide residues. Class I is the most stringent level, covering products for babies and toddlers.
  • GOTS 7.0 (Global Organic Textile Standard) — covers the entire supply chain of organic textiles, including ecological and social criteria for the processing stage.

These are third-party certifications issued by independent institutes — not self-declarations.

Sublimation printing

For synthetic fabric printing (polyester and recycled polyester), we use sublimation on DGI machines. Sublimation inks are water-based and free from hazardous solvents. The process uses minimal consumables and produces no significant liquid waste.

Recycled polyester fabrics

Several fabrics in our catalog are made from GRS-certified recycled polyester — produced from post-consumer plastic waste such as PET bottles. Choosing recycled polyester for your project reduces demand for virgin petroleum-derived fiber.
