Straightforward Printing Process

The inkjet printing process with disperse inks is pretty straightforward. The use of pre-treatment for the fabric enables to further enhance the final printed quality, while the post printing processes can be performed rapidly and accurately, from drying up to thermofixing (with a oven or with a calendar), steaming, washing and finishing.
