Through digital printing technology, HONGSAM aims to advance printing processes and explore new paths toward efficient, soft, and environmentally friendly digital printing production.
Preview of HONGSAM Featured Solutions
Drawing on more than 20 years of experience in inkjet ink research and development, HONGSAM has introduced the Hong-Jet® full-digital DTF printing solution. Powered by its proprietary RCT® (Rapid Color Technology), the solution uses a specialized liquid bonding material to replace conventional hot-melt powder, enabling powder-free printing. It addresses common challenges associated with traditional DTF transfer printing, including complex processes involving TPU hot-melt powder, dust and noise pollution, and a relatively stiff hand feel in printed designs.
The solution simplifies the traditional process of “printing – powder application – powder shaking – melting – heat transfer” into “printing – drying – heat transfer.” While streamlining production, it also takes into account print softness, the production environment, and color performance.
Key Advantages
-Simplified Process: Eliminates powder application, powder shaking, and melting, reducing equipment requirements and manual operations.
-Soft and Breathable: Produces lightweight, soft prints with a hand feel close to direct-to-garment (DTG) printing. It improves breathability in printed areas and enhances wearing comfort.
-Cleaner and Quieter Production: Eliminates hot-melt powder dust and removes the need for powder-shaking equipment, helping improve the production environment.
-Rich Color Options: In addition to the standard eight colors, the solution offers four dedicated fluorescent colors: fluorescent red (FM), fluorescent yellow (FY), fluorescent orange (FO), and fluorescent green (FG), meeting diverse design requirements.
-Wide Material Compatibility: Suitable for materials including cotton, blended fabrics, synthetic fabrics, and leather. According to test data provided by HONGSAM, the solution performed well in comparative wash-fastness tests on cotton fabric and can meet relevant fastness requirements for garment printing.
-Compact and Efficient: The integrated printing and drying machine occupies approximately 2 square meters, making it suitable for production environments of different sizes.
At the exhibition, HONGSAM will showcase full range of textile inks alongside printed samples on various textile materials, demonstrating the performance of HONGSAM textile inks across a wide range of fabric applications. As a drafting organization for China's national industry standard for textile inks, HONGSAM has established a comprehensive portfolio of textile printing inks, including pigment ink, reactive ink, disperse ink/sublimation ink, acid ink, and cationic inks.
1) Jetextile® Textile Pigment Ink
In 2012, HONGSAM took the lead in launching the industrial printhead pigment ink project. It was among the earliest Chinese manufacturers to develop pigment inks broadly compatible with leading industrial printheads from Seiko, Kyocera, Ricoh, Epson, and other well-known brands. In 2017, Jetextile® pigment ink was successfully applied to the world's first 32-head Kyocera printing system (MS JPK), demonstrating HONGSAM's leading technical capabilities in the industry.
WTiN (World Textile Information Network), an authoritative industry media outlet, highlighted HONGSAM's innovative contribution to pigment ink technology, which effectively addresses the water waste associated with traditional processes. The ink performs exceptionally well on natural fibers such as cotton, linen, and silk, while also delivering excellent adhesion and color saturation on complex blended and synthetic fiber substrates, truly achieving “One Ink for All Fabrics.”
Powered by HONGSAM's patented RCT® (Rapid Color Technology), this ink eliminates complex pretreatment and post-treatment processes, significantly shortening the production workflow. Combining vivid colors with lightfastness, it is a preferred solution for green, short-process textile printing on cotton, linen, polyester-cotton blends, and other fabrics.

2) HOTME® Disperse Ink
Since HONGSAM launched the HOTME® high-temperature disperse ink in 2017, it has attracted considerable attention from printing equipment manufacturers. Through in-depth collaboration, HOTME®️ high-temperature disperse ink has been successfully applied across various printhead platforms, delivering reliable performance with no printhead clogging, no blurred output, no printhead drying, stable color development, and minimal unfixed dye remaining after washing.
HONGSAM participated in the operation of China's first Single Pass direct-to-fabric high-temperature disperse printing system, demonstrating the market potential of high-temperature disperse printing to numerous equipment manufacturers.
In 2023, HONGSAM's high-temperature disperse ink underwent rigorous and comprehensive testing and successfully passed Ricoh's stringent printhead tests. HONGSAM became the only manufacturer in China to pass Ricoh's official testing for high-temperature disperse ink, with the result published on Ricoh's official website.

3) ReactoMe® Reactive Dye Ink
ReactoMe® reactive dye ink uses high-purity reactive dye materials combined with precise pH control technology to maintain long-term ink stability, prevent printhead clogging at its source, and significantly extend equipment service life.
Its ultra-high color concentration can reduce ink consumption by 30%–50% compared with competing inks. With excellent jetting performance and compatibility with mainstream industrial printheads from Ricoh, Kyocera, Epson, and other manufacturers, the ink maintains stable output even in high-speed, continuous printing applications. It addresses the challenges of ink dropout and interruptions during industrial production, providing reliable support for improved manufacturing efficiency.
4) SILKMATE® Acid Dye Ink
SILKMATE® acid dye ink is a specialized solution developed for the high-end apparel printing market. Recognizing the importance of colorfastness in the textile industry, HONGSAM has focused particularly on the common challenge of achieving adequate lightfastness on nylon fabrics.
Nylon is widely used in outdoor sportswear, where high lightfastness is essential. However, acid turquoise and acid fuchsin typically struggle to meet industry requirements for lightfastness.
To address this challenge, HONGSAM has developed two high-lightfastness colors, HC and HM, through carefully selected dyes and optimized formulations. Under the same test conditions, these two colors achieve lightfastness ratings 0.5–1 grade higher than standard colors, making them particularly suitable for outdoor sportswear.
5) HONGSAM® Cationic Dye Ink
In 2024, HONGSAM® cationic dye ink was selected for “the 17th Batch of Advanced Technology recommendations for Energy-Saving and Emission-Reduction by China Dyeing and Printing Industry”. The ink is suitable for printers equipped with Epson, StarFire, and other printhead series, and is designed for direct printing on modified polyester, acrylic, and other compatible fabrics. It requires neither pretreatment nor post-print washing, generating no wastewater from these processes.
With stable pH to help prevent printhead corrosion, the ink offers consistent quality and long-term storage stability. It delivers vivid colors and meets demanding technical requirements for wash and rub fastness. On acrylic fabrics, its lightfastness can reach Grade 7.
On-demand inkjet printing can reduce color paste consumption by 40%–60%, while the energy required for steaming in subsequent processing is far lower than that of traditional printing. This makes it a genuinely greener printing and production solution, helping textile printing companies achieve high-quality development and adopt new quality productive forces in manufacturing.
