Water Pigment print confers a long lifespan. As in any natural product, the print and digital printing fabric will mature and soften with minimal colour loss over time. The quality of the digital printing fabric base and wash care can play an important part in the longevity of your digital printing fabrics.
Digital printing fabrics should be prepared for printing( ‘PFP’ ), free of all impurities.
Softener should be removed before printing as the ink needs to adhere itself to the digital printing fabric fiber without any interference
For best results using eco water pigment printing:
- Gentle hand wash using cold water ( For first wash keep item separate).
- Avoid strong detergents, hard spinning, hot or industrial wash.
- Drip dry – do not wring.
- No excessive rubbing on print.
- Iron on reverse.
Digital Printing Fabric Care Labels
Each digital printing fabric quality will have its own unique wash fast properties to pigment printing. Customers are liable for their own digital printing fabric tests prior to bulk manufacture. Labels with the necessary wash care instructions should accompany all digital printing fabric products.
Optional – digital printing fabric coatings & treatments
We have coatings that can improve wet or dry rub fastness and fixing agents for problematic digital printing fabrics . Our softening agent & water- repellents treatments may be applied to the digital printing fabric after printing if required.
