The textiles can be used in many applications and each of them is suitable for particular situations. In this article I am going to discuss the different types of printing machines available in the market. Firstly, we will be discussing about dye sublimation printer. Secondly we are going to discuss about thermoplastics, photo electric and thermal printers. After reading the article you should be able to understand the different printing machines and what they do.

If you want a commercial machine, you can consider using a Colorjet fabric printing machine. It can create textiles in bulk and it has good resolutions. In general, digital textile printing over polyester results in a bit lower prints than printing using disperse inks. However, in this case an acceptable trade off for longevity is made. For industrial use, high resolution will be required. If you are using the machine for mass textile printing the printouts produced will not be very low resolution.

Dye sublimation printers are capable of producing really low resolution prints. In this case, the cost per unit is higher as compared to other methods. Another benefit offered by the dye sublimation is that you can use a natural fiber along with the ink. But for the short term, it would be better to use polyester based dyes for your applications in the fashion industry.

Polyester based dyes are cheaper than natural fibers, but they are not as durable as the latter. They tend to fade faster and they tend to get easily smeared. For this reason, polyester inks are not recommended for short term applications like clothing and the like. A digital textile printing machine is best suited for long term application. So if you need something for the wardrobe, go for the digital textile printer and not the one for polyester garments.

Another popular option is the digital printer that uses heat to fuse the fabric onto paper. This is cheaper than the other options as well. The only problem with the heat fused paper is that the colors tend to fade with time and it is not very durable. Bleaching is also possible using the polyamide Lycra printing fabric.

The process works in such a way that the dye is applied on the surface of the garment before the final printing process. Afterward, the garment is run through a fusing station. This process helps to ensure that the colors do not fade away with time. However, for high-quality designs you may have to send them to a printing house. Either way, the digital textile printing machine can help you create a variety of high-quality designs in different colors, shapes and styles.

The fiber print heads used for digital textile printing clothes are usually roller-based ones. They are very similar to the dot less ones. However, these print heads allow you to produce much more textiles with limited runs. The fabric is then put on a frame which has numerous cloth centers that are connected to each other. These cloth centers form the base of the shirt or blouse.

The digital textile printing machines can also be used to make baby clothes and curtains. You need to be very careful while choosing the fabric for making these clothes. This is because the fibers from baby diapers are very delicate and can get damaged easily. Only the best quality fabrics should be used to make these clothes. The colors can also be varied depending on what the customer requires.

Digital data is the new gold, and hackers will stop at nothing to get yours. In a study by cybersecurity experts at Maryland University, researchers found that cyber-attacks happen once every 39 seconds. As one of the first organizations to quantify cyber-attacks, Maryland University also says that these attacks can affect one out of every three U.S. citizens.

Furthermore, the number of connected devices today is estimated at around 200 billion. Combined with the fact that 77% of organizations have no cybersecurity response plans in place, America’s application security is far from being an adequate response to the rapid-fire threat posed by hackers. These frightening statistics underscore why the fields of cybersecurity and quality assurance (QA) need to integrate their key processes.

Both QA and cybersecurity are about risk management

In the development lifecycle, QA teams are all about filling in the gaps in order to minimize risks to the quality of the end product or user experience. Meanwhile, cybersecurity processes such as Mobile Application Security Testing (MAST) are all about identifying security-related risks. From authorization concerns to data vulnerabilities, MAST is about analyzing all the potential risk that comes with every possible action on that app.

In turn, this type of testing makes the job of QA teams easier down the line. With fewer security risks comes less risk to the overall quality of the software as well. And the better the quality, the easier it becomes to spot any cybersecurity risks. Because of how security testing and cybersecurity intersect in terms of risk management, coordinating with one another can significantly lighten the workload of both parties.

Security testing is ‘shifting to the left’

This simply means that cybersecurity or application security training is now being integrated within software developers’ daily responsibilities. Rather than being a discrete step in the development lifecycle, this leftward-shift means that cybersecurity is becoming part and parcel of the QA testing process. In their task to build the test infrastructure, today’s software developers, data scientists, and QA testers are expected to have a solid grasp of security.

A similar shift to the left can be observed in cutting edge tech training institutions, like the long-standing and web-based Maryville University. Aimed at producing well-rounded developers and software experts, the online school’s different advanced tech programs were developed with cybersecurity integration in mind. In fact, the online bachelor’s in cybersecurity at Maryville University is designed to be paired with its masteral-level data science, software development, and MBA courses. Furthermore, with coursework mostly happening in the university’s Apple-distinguished Virtual Lab, students can train in a fully online and mobile platform that they can access anywhere. This includes working on defensive digital tactics for real-world companies – under the remote supervision of cybersecurity experts.

This gives students real-world experience in remote and collaborative cybersecurity work. When they graduate, this hands-on remote training will be valuable in terms of collaborating with QA experts. Whether they go on to focus on cybersecurity or branch out to other in-demand fields like data science, software development, or business administration, the security experts of the future are being trained to more easily integrate their security expertise with companies’ existing QA testing infrastructures. From training to implementation, this impending partnership between security and QA is inevitable.

In an age where high-value targets like the Defense Department, other government offices, financial institutions, social media platforms, and tech giants are being constantly assailed by hackers, the integration of software QA and security is the best defense. It’s no secret that cybersecurity concerns have led to software developers and QA teams being spread out too thin. But with security being integrated as a top-of-mind priority for anyone involved in the testing infrastructure, then security experts, developers, and QA teams can breathe a little easier.
