Inkjet Printing of Textiles

About

Cotton or poly-cotton textiles are often dyed or printed with VAT dyes especially for high performance/ techncial applications. However, inkjet printing with VAT dyes remains problematic and here we offer a range of water based solubilised VAT dyes with appropriae physical and viscosity characteristics for inkjet printing. Key Benefits: Solubilized Vat Dyes at viscosity/ solids suitable for Inkjet printing Long term stability - less nozzle blockage Range of colors available Applications: Inkjet Printing of textiles & garments Dyeing of textiles using VAT dye formulations IP Status: US & GB patents pending with a priority filing date of June 2010.
