Under the dual waves of consumption upgrading and green transformation, the coordinated development of digital printing and traditional craftsmanship has become an important path for innovation and breakthrough in the textile industry. It not only meets the flexible production needs of small and medium-sized production capacity, but also caters to the consumption preferences of young consumer groups for cultural and creative products, helping intangible cultural heritage to shift from inheritance and protection to market-oriented monetization. Digital printing, with its efficient, precise, and low-carbon technological characteristics, breaks the bottleneck of large-scale production in traditional processes; The cultural heritage and handmade warmth carried by traditional crafts endow digital printing products with differentiated competitive value, helping to promote the dynamic inheritance of intangible cultural heritage crafts and the green upgrading of industries. This article is based on authoritative research data and practical cases in the industry, analyzing the technological adaptation points and industrial foundations of their collaboration, exploring innovative paths for the entire chain of design, production, and market, sorting out the practical obstacles in the development process, and proposing optimization strategies, providing feasible references for the high-quality development of the textile industry.
