Innovation of dye sublimation textile printing technology

There are many different ways of printing on textiles and fabrics, but the most popular inkjet printing technology for fabrics — at least at the non-industrial level — at the moment is dye-sublimation.
Dye-sub works best on polyester-based fabrics, but what about natural or other kinds of synthetic fibers? For physical and chemical reasons, these require other dye-based textile printing inks. Natural cellulose fibers like cotton require reactive dye inks, while natural or synthetic fibers like silk, wool and nylon require acid dye inks. As you can tell, making a universal textile printing machine that can handle all types of fibers is a substantial challenge.
However, don't underestimate the cleverness of today's chemists. A hot new area of development is pigment inks, which can print on virtually any fabric, curing via heat or UV radiation. However, pigment inks require a bonding agent, the amount of which — in relation to the colorant — causes a trade-off between color vibrancy and wash fastness.

One interesting new device is Mimaki TX300P-1800 Series which features a dual-ink capability, which means users have the ability to print onto natural materials using pigment inks or onto polyester materials with direct dye-sublimation inks using only a single printer. The inksets used in the TX300P-1800 do not require steaming and washing, which are common post-printing processes for many kinds of textile inks.
