Velvet Jet brings a true ecological solution for textile print shops. First, with its GOTS seal this allergenic-free, water based and safe to use ink, assures it is the most ecological ink to use for digital textile printing. In addition, with its single pretreatment to all types of fabrics there is no post treatment required, no need to steam and wash post printing, thus there are no wash and dry cycles.
