Reactive and Acid Dyes: From the outset suppliers of textile inkjet inks were quick to offer products based on reactive and acid dyestuffs. Reactive dyes are particularly suitable for cotton, viscose and other cellulosic materials, whereas acid dyes are used for wool, silk and nylon. Both are fully water soluble and relatively easy to formulate for the wide range of inkjet heads, especially the widely installed thermal drop on demand jet types.
Given here is a few of the inkjet dyes that are available in the powder form along with its characteristics.
