Acid and reactive dyes can be used for direct printing as well for flag production, cotton and other natural fabrics that need the advantages of dye over pigment.

Test printings on the afore mentioned fabrics are processed by carefully arranging classical textile printing techniques with a thin layer application of liquid crystalline pigments.

Dispersed pigments also allow printing onto coated polyesters for soft signage, and similar applications, with a better resistance to UV fading over dye sub applications.
