Fibers Dyes are fiber specific; therefore, dyes are chosen for printing based on the fibers, which compose the textile fabric. For example, a 100% cotton fabric can be printed with reactive dyes, vat dyes, or any dye that works for cotton. Alternately, a cotton/polyester blend requires two dye types combined in the print paste. One type is for the cotton fibers, such as reactive, and one type is for the polyester fibers, such as disperse. Textile pigments may also be used. They are not dyes but colorants and require a binder or glue to fix them to the surface of the textile fibers. Unlike dyes, pigments are not fiber specific; therefore, a 60/40 cotton/polyester blend could be printed with a single pigment. Pigments work equally well on 100% cotton fabrics and various blends.
