Digital textile printing ink is the core of modern fabric production. Unlike traditional screen printing that requires plate-making, water baths, and long setup times, digital textile inks jet directly from printhead to fabric — enabling on-demand manufacturing, near-zero water waste, and photorealistic color at any order quantity.
INKBANK formulates four distinct categories of digital textile inks, each engineered for specific fabric chemistries and production workflows. Whether you run a DTF transfer shop, a high-speed roll-to-roll mill, or a premium silk atelier — there's an INKBANK ink built for your production line.

Each market demands different fabric types, color performance, and durability standards. Below are the four core markets INKBANK digital textile inks serve — with specific ink recommendations for each.
Bed sheets, curtain fabrics, rugs, towels, lampshades, and upholstery require vibrant colors with high fastness ratings to survive repeated washing and sunlight exposure. INKBANK inks deliver OEKO-TEX certified safety for products that touch skin daily.
Flags, banners, trade show graphics, architectural packaging, and exhibition displays demand standout colors and high outdoor durability. INKBANK inks deliver high color density and UV-resistant prints for both direct and transfer printing on polyester and blended fabrics.
Cycling apparel, team uniforms, beachwear, swimwear, and performance gear require inks that can stretch with the fabric without cracking — while holding intense color through sweat, chlorine, and repeated machine washing.
The fashion industry demands precise color matching, soft fabric hand feel, and the ability to handle delicate fabrics at production speed. From silk scarves to premium footwear, INKBANK inks render vibrant color while maintaining precise detail and fabric drape.
Q: Which ink should I use for cotton T-shirt printing?
A: For cotton T-shirts, we recommend DTF Pigment Ink — it prints on cotton without pre-treatment, delivers 50+ wash durability, and works with EPSON, Kyocera, and Ricoh printheads. For direct-to-garment (DTG), see our DTG pigment ink.
Q: What's the difference between sublimation ink and pigment ink?
A: Sublimation ink penetrates polyester fibers and becomes permanent — color never peels. Pigment ink sits on the fabric surface and bonds via polymer adhesive — it works on virtually any fabric type. Choose sublimation for 100% polyester, pigment for cotton and blends.
Q: Do you provide ICC color profiles for my printer?
A: Yes. INKBANK provides custom ICC profiles for all major RIP software including Caldera, Onyx, ErgoSoft, and NeoStampa. Send us your printer model and target fabric — we'll create and validate a profile before shipping your first ink order.
Q: What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: Standard MOQ is 1kg per color for sample testing. For bulk production orders, we offer flexible quantities with volume pricing. Contact our sales team for a customized quote based on your monthly consumption.
