The many problems involved in developing an ink‐jet printer suitable tor woven and knitted textiles are outlined. Efforts have been concentrated on adapting existing systems used for paper or carpet substrates. Work devised to produce a modular array of drop‐on‐demand valves to meet the required criteria is described, together with details of the selection of dyes and chemicals for a practical jet printing process.
