My biggest concern was the use of ink on the digital prints as ink and dye are very different products. After I posted my original question, I contacted a couple of fabric retailers and a fabric manufacturer who could not tell me if dgital prints are more flammable or give off toxins. As a result I have made the personal decision to not use any digital fabrics when I make anything that might come in contact with food, heat or children. I hope that I am being overly cautious and will be proved wrong, as I am afraid that digital prints are all that will be available in the future, but until we have more experience with them, I'm going to be careful.
