Title: Fabrics for Printing
Post by: rob.maher on January 24, 2007, 09:39:08 pm

I am wondering if anyone has suggestions for fabrics to print on.

I have a client that would like to print on something like muslin.  Prints would be 20x30
black and white. So making sure the blacks remain rich is a concern.  

Any ideas?

Thanks -

Color Textiles sells fabric by the yard preprocessed for printing (or will coat your own fabric).  The fabrics do a great job with the K3 inks--and I'm assuming with other inks as well.  They come in a variety of fabrics--from thinner cotton to heavy bull denim and a number of silks.
