Electronic print processes is widely in demand these days. The growth of multi color inkjet technology is especially growing in the home and office segments. A substantial and thriving consumer market for inkjet can be noticed in packaging, publication, and specialty areas.
Inkjet Dyes are highly concentrated colorants specifically designed for today’s inkjet markets. Available in wide variety of colors, these ultra pure dyes are low in chlorides and prepared to meet all standard criteria for the inkjet industry. Inkjet printing are meticulously produced using comprehensive purification and filtration processes. The quality of an inkjet printing is very much influenced by the physico-chemical properties of printing ink.
Dye inks are prepared by dissolving of the liquid colored dyes into a fluid carrier. This makes the dyes easy to apply. When it is applied to a paper, the dyes are absorbed very uniformly so they reflect light very evenly. As the printing is a high precision job the inkjet dyes need to have superior quality in terms of colors, physical properties, and stability. Generally direct, reactive, and acid dyes are used as dyes for Inkjet Ink.
Inkjet dyes are available in both forms powder and liquids.
Given here is a few of the inkjet dyes that are available in the powder form along with its characteristics:

Manufacturing dyes for water based inkjet inks is a bit of challenge the choice is a bit limited. This is primarily because the vehicle limits the type of dyes. It is a fact that water based ink would accept only dyes which are water soluble. Dyes that are selected for application in water based inkjet inks must provide colours that are highly saturated. They must scatter or refract only a very little quantity of light. Various class of dyestuffs has been formulated like reactive, direct, acid or base for application in delicate Inkjet Inks.

Very low salt content (e.g. Chloride, Sulfate, Calcium and Iron all below 50 ppm based on 100% dye).
why digital textile printing is often termed as "the next generation printing". Our dyes for digital textile printing are typical for all the commercial grade. They are also compatible with low cost ink jet ink systems. The popular Dyes that are commonly used for digital textile Inks are Acid Dye, Reactive Dye and Disperse Dye. Our dyes for digital textile printing displays the following properties
