Pigment printing and reactive printing are two popular methods used in textile printing, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages of pigment printing over reactive printing:

Longevity

Pigment printed fabrics are known for their high color fastness, which means that the color does not fade or bleed easily, even after several washes.

Cost-effectiveness

Pigment printing is typically less expensive than reactive printing, making it a more budget-friendly option for large-scale production runs.

Versatility

Pigment printing is compatible with a wider range of fabric types, including synthetic and blended fabrics.

Easy to Use

 Pigment printing is simpler and requires less technical knowledge compared to reactive printing. This makes it easier for printers to produce consistent results, even on different fabrics.

Wide color range

Pigment printing offers a wider range of color options compared to reactive printing, making it possible to produce complex designs with multiple colors.

However, it’s worth noting that while pigment printing has these advantages, it also has certain disadvantages, such as lower color vibrancy and a limited ability to produce soft, hand-feel prints. Reactive printing, on the other hand, is known for producing bright, vivid colors and soft-feel prints, but it can be more expensive and technically challenging.
