Textile ink is designed for a wide range of fabrics, including cotton, polyester, and nylon. It delivers vibrant colors, consistent print quality, and maintains material softness. Many textile inks are water-based, eco-friendly, and suitable for sustainable production goals, making them ideal for companies that print on multiple fabric types.
- Reactive Dye Ink: Best for natural fibers like cotton, offering vibrant and durable colors.
- Dye Sublimation Ink: Used for polyester; transfers colors via heat, providing wash-resistant prints.
- Acid Dye Ink: For protein fibers like nylon, with bright and durable colors.
- Pigment Ink: Adheres to the surface of cotton, giving good color durability without penetrating fibers.
Cotton ink is formulated specifically for cotton fabrics, providing excellent color saturation, detail clarity, and faster drying times. It adheres well to cotton fibers, making it ideal for high-end clothing and home textiles where precision and quality are paramount. However, it may not perform as effectively on non-cotton materials.
