Abstract

A textile printing machine includes a plurality of printing modules arranged in an m×n matrix, the matrix having m first rails in a transverse direction for supporting printing functional units such as print heads, and n second rails in a longitudinal direction for supporting printing trays that carry textiles to be printed, each module defining a meeting point for a textile printing related operation to take place. The matrix size is at least two by two and provides flexible linear printing sequences that are able to share resources such as print heads.
