Abstract
A method for textile printing is provided which comprises a step (X) of depositing an aqueous ink containing a dye on cloth by an ink jet process and, optionally a step (Y) of fixing the dye, the step (X) being carried out after depositing an acceptor for the ink on the cloth. The dye may be a disperse dye, and the cloth may comprise synthetic and/or semi-synthetic fibers as a main component.
