From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Reactive dye printing is a method of printing a dye or wax by using mixes thereof to create colors. With a binder and a heat-activated printing additive, images can be permanently bonded to the substrate (typically textiles, but can include cellulose, fibers, polyester, and even proteins). These reactions are generally heat-activated.
