Textile inks for printing on various fabrics
Choosing the right textile ink depends on three key factors: fabric type (cotton, polyester, blends, thick and thin synthetic fabrics), application technique (direct printing or transfer), and required performance properties (flexibility, wash resistance, softness to the touch, visual effects, flame retardancy). TIFLEX inks cover all these needs with three complementary product families: plastisols, water-based inks, and solvent-based inks.
Key applications of textile dyes:
T-shirts and casual clothing
Sports and technical clothing
Workwear and protective clothing
Bags (tote bags, promotional)
Banners and flags
Covers, cases, accessories
Promotional textiles
Decorative textiles
Thermal transfers
TIFLEX inks are perfect for direct screen printing (on the finished product or fabric sheet) and transfer screen printing (printed on transfer paper and applied to the fabric under the influence of temperature and pressure). Optimal wash resistance is achieved by oven drying (150°C – 160°C for 2–3 minutes) or using a cold drying additive.
