We now offer a digital pigment ink printing service to compliment our digital reactive dye printing service.

Below are some some Q&A’s that will give you a bit more information and help you decide on the process that best suits your requirements.

1. What is digital pigment printing?

Digital pigment printing is a versatile textile printing method where designs are printed onto fabric using pigment-based inks. Unlike reactive dyes, pigment inks sit on the surface of the fabric and adhere to it without chemically bonding.

2. How does digital pigment printing work?

In digital pigment printing, designs are digitally printed onto fabric using inkjet printers equipped with pigment-based inks. These inks are cured using heat or UV light to ensure adhesion to the fabric surface.

3. What are the benefits of digital pigment printing?

• Digital pigment printing offers several advantages, including:
• Wide colour gamut and excellent colour accuracy.
• Compatibility with a variety of fabric types, including natural and synthetic fibres.
• Minimal fabric preparation is required, making it suitable for short print runs and custom orders.
• Environmentally friendly, as it typically requires less water and energy compared to traditional printing methods.

4. What fabrics are suitable for digital pigment printing?

Digital pigment printing can be used on a wide range of fabrics, including cotton, polyester, and blends. However, it may not achieve the same level of colour vibrancy on natural fibres as reactive printing.
