Rotary vs flat-bed screen ink — why the difference matters
Flat-bed screen printing (T-shirts, garments) uses one ink formulation. Rotary screen printing on continuous fabric rolls — the standard for printed textile production at Bangladesh’s textile mills — uses a different formulation. Rotary inks have to flow through fine rotary screens without clogging, cure quickly under high-speed processing, and stay stable during long continuous runs. Using flat-bed ink on a rotary press causes screen clogging, uneven colour and higher scrap rate.
Texprint is specifically formulated for rotary application. It runs on the standard rotary screen equipment used by Bangladesh’s fabric printers, cures uniformly under normal fabric-processing conditions, and holds colour consistency across long production runs — critical when a single fabric order might run continuously for hours.
Applications
Texprint is used by Bangladesh’s textile mills producing printed fabric — RMG production input for buyer-branded garments, home textile (bed sheets, curtains, towels) for domestic and export markets, and printed sari and traditional wear for the local retail market. The ink is optimised for cotton and cotton-poly blends, which cover the majority of Bangladesh’s textile output.
For mills producing under international buyer contracts, using Ink Tec Texprint simplifies chemical-compliance approval — the manufacturer certifications are already accepted by major RMG buyers, cutting the batch-approval and shipment paperwork cycle compared to generic inks.
