The vibrancy and durability of textile prints are critical factors that determine a product's market appeal and longevity. In the realm of water-based printing, achieving robust color fixation is essential to prevent issues like bleeding, fading, and poor wash fastness. As a dedicated manufacturer and supplier of textile auxiliaries, we specialize in providing advanced solutions that address these challenges head-on. This guide highlights the importance of effective color fixation and how our specialized fixing agent can elevate your water-based printing processes.

The Challenge of Color Fixation in Water-Based Printing

Water-based printing inks and pastes offer environmental advantages and a softer feel compared to some solvent-based alternatives. However, ensuring the dyes and pigments remain securely bound to the fabric fibers after application can be challenging. Unfixed color can lead to a range of problems, including:

  • Poor Wash Fastness: Colors washing out easily, reducing the garment's lifespan and customer satisfaction.
  • Color Bleeding: Dyes spreading into adjacent areas or onto other fabrics during washing or contact with moisture.
  • Fading: Loss of color intensity over time due to light exposure or laundering.
  • Low Wet Rub Fastness: Color transferring from the fabric when rubbed, especially when wet.

To counteract these issues, specialized textile fixing agents are employed.
