The invention relates to a digital printing method for leather. The digital printing method includes the following steps that firstly, design is conducted, wherein needed patterns are designed through a computer, and the luster and color are adjusted to the required luster and color; secondly, type setting is conducted, wherein the corresponding width is determined on the type setting format of the computer according to the width specification of the leather where printing is needed, the patterns to be printed are transferred into a printing type setting program, and the number and type setting of the printing patterns are determined according to the width size of the leather; thirdly, input is conducted, wherein the program where type setting is completed on the above printing patterns is input into a computer controlling a printer; and fourthly, inkjet is conducted, fabric where printing is needed is loaded into the printer, and the printer is instructed to complete inkjet of the above patterns, or the fabric where printing is needed is loaded on a UV inkjet printer, and the UV inkjet printer is instructed to complete inkjet of the above patterns. According to the digital printing method for the leather, the patterns can be directly printed on the leather, the influences of transfer paper and transfer film printing on the aspects of vision and touch are avoided, and the printing effect is good.
