- Abstract
As part of a study aimed at selecting inksets for printing fabrics for outdoor use, pigment-based and disperse dye-based inksets were evaluated on polyester fabric via textile inkjet printing. Colorimetric attributes were recorded for each color, as well as the mixed colors generated through RIPMaster V11 software. Color Table (CTB) profiles were created to compare spot colors and International color consortium (ICC) profiles were created to evaluate color gamut volumes. Four-color and seven-color disperse dye-based inksets were evaluated, along with six-color and eight-color pigment-based inksets. Four-color and seven-color combination of disperse and pigment inksets were compared. As expected, the addition of colors to the basic four-color inkset increased the color gamuts significantly. It was also found that the disperse dye-based inkset provided deeper colors, and excellent wet and dry crock fastness. However, light fastness from the disperse dye-based inksets was not as high as the levels obtained using pigment-based inksets.
