370 Mastering <strong>Digital</strong> Printing Fabric Printing Inkjet printers can be used to print on fabric with either textile dyes or pigmented inks. The former are specialty inks (acid or reactive dyes), and they can be made washable with post processes such as steaming. Pigmented inks on fabric are stiffer and not really washable. Precoated inkjet textiles are available from a number of sources including DigiFab and Jacquard. Futures Wales Ltd. is another source, and they claim that their Futures Fabrics can be printed with ordinary dye and pigment inkjet inks with good durability.
