With digitally printed carpets, the problem of designing according to the limited number of colors in machine carpeting has been solved, and different product groups have been made for consumers searching of innovation. Making and archiving patterns with special pattern drawing programs saved 80-90% of time, effort and space for designers. The design, sample approval and mass production processes of digital carpets are more advantageous than machine carpets. In today’s digitalized world, it is an accepted fact that people are liberated and at the same time, individualize and seek originality.
