Industry selection

Technical Selection & Resources

Consider the footwear or garment substrate, printing process, hand feel and use tests together.

What to confirm

Substrate and preparation

Specify the shoe upper, fabric or other printing substrate, pretreatment and base color.

Printing system

Describe print method, color paste and supporting materials, drying temperature and subsequent processing.

Softness and stretch

Define feel, elasticity, stretch and print appearance targets, with a reference sample where possible.

Use tests

Share relevant adhesion, rub, flex or wash test methods and acceptance requirements.

Selection FAQs

Can footwear and garment printing use the same grade directly?

The word ‘printing’ is not enough to establish suitability. Confirm substrate, preparation, process temperature and use tests, then validate the candidate grade.

How should I specify soft feel and fastness together?

Provide a substrate sample, desired feel, stretch requirement, print thickness and fastness test conditions. Compare candidates using the same process.

Does FAST need the existing formulation?

Start with the resin or emulsion type, color paste and key additives, application and drying conditions. This helps scope compatibility and application testing.
