What is Reactive Print on Fabric?

Are you wondering what reactive print on fabric is and how it differs from other printing methods? Look no further! As a custom fabric printing company, Jersey Print Factory is here to break down the basics of reactive printing and explain its unique benefits.

First, let's define reactive printing. Reactive printing is a printing method that involves using reactive dyes to bond with the fibers of a fabric. Reactive dyes are a type of dye that is specifically formulated to bond with the fibers of a fabric, resulting in a durable, long-lasting print. The dye is applied to the fabric, and then a chemical reaction occurs that causes the dye to bond with the fibers. This creates a print that won't fade or wash out over time.

At Jersey Print Factory, we offer reactive printing as one of our fabric printing options. Our team of experts can help you choose the right printing method for your project, whether you're looking for fabric by the yard or printed fabric on demand. We can process reactive printed fabric orders without minimum order requirements - customers can order as little as 1 meter or as much as 1000 meters per design.

And with our digital textile printing capabilities, we can produce high-quality, custom reactive printed fabrics such as
