DyStar is introducing a full range of water-soluble Jettex® A inks for wool, silk and polyamide. These new products expand the possibilities of digital textile printing. The new Jettex A product range comprises seven standard and three supplementary inks, all of which have been specially developed for use on piezo printers. With these new products, digital printing can cover the same colour space as textile printing with conventional acid dyes. The newly developed Jettex A inks are based on the acid dyes used in conventional textile printing processes. This greatly improves the transfer from digital printing to conventional production units.
The new inks allow digital printing on silk to meet top quality requirements (Plate 1).

Moreover, with the Jettex A Flavine 7GFL E-0 and Jettex A Rhodamine BN E-0 fluorescent inks, digital printing can be used to produce attractive designs on swimwear.
The new acid dye inks complement the present range of Jettex R reactive inks for piezo printing. DyStar also markets reactive and acid inks for bubble jet printing.
