Unfortunately, cotton can only be digitally printed with a few dye systems. This includes the very complex process with reactive inks (including steaming and washing) or the very simple direct printing with pigment inks (which, however, must be raised after printing). 9873 is a very light but very densely woven cotton fabric with a slightly shiny satin side. The fabric is very smooth on the glossy side and can be printed very well with pigment inks. Even without a binder on the fabric, the ink is well fixed, so that the fabric is quite washable.
