With the industry transitioning from ink-jet printing using reactive inks to printing using pigment inks many colleges and institutions find themselves still printing using reactive inks. The purpose of this study is to evaluate color fastness of digitally printed cotton fabrics and compare reactive verses pigment inks.  Cotton fabrics were purposely chosen for this experiment because of their natural fibers and ability to absorb ink. CIELAB color management was used because of the compatibility L*a*b* color modes has with the textile printer.2x6 samples that incorporated a pure red, green, and blue print design were printed on 5 cotton fabrics; cotton duck, cotton canvas, cotton percale, cotton sateen, and cotton twill using Iowa State University’s reactive ink Mimaki TX2 1600 digital textile printer. These swatches printed on paper-backed fabric. The paper was removed; the fabric was then steamed in a high-pressure steamer for 1 hour, then were home washed and dried. The pigment samples were outsourced and ordered from Spoonflower. The print was the same 26 red, green, and blue design printed on basic cotton, cotton lawn, Kona ultra cotton, cotton sateen, and cotton heavy twill. All swatches will go through tests according to the AATCC 2015 standards. The colorfastness of the pigment and reactive inks will be tested in crocking, lightfastness, washing, and perspiration. All colors of the samples were tested using a spectrophotometer and the L*a*b* color and ΔE* were recorded.
