Inkjet printing technology uses the low-cost direct deposition manufacturing technique for printing and is applicable in various fields including optics, ceramics, three-dimensional printing in biomedicine, and conductive circuitry. This study reviews the classifications and applications of inkjet printing technologies, with a focus on recent publications. The different design approaches, applications, and research progress of several inkjet printing techniques are reviewed. Among them, the piezoelectric inkjet printing technology is the main focus owing to its reliability and handling of a diverse range of inks. A piezo-driven inkjet printhead is activated by applying a voltage waveform to a piezoelectric membrane. The waveform ensures the formation of the designed droplet and a stable jet. A survey of various drivingvoltage waveforms is conducted, which can serve as a reference to the research community that uses piezodriven inkjet printheads. The challenges of printing quality, stability, and speed and their solutions as published in recent studies are reviewed. Technologies for producing high-viscosity inkjets are explored, and the applications of inkjet printing technology in textile, displays, and wearable devices are discussed.

“…Zhang et al [19] observed that reactive dyes bearing nicotinic acid quaternary triazine reaction groups exhibit high dye uptake and fixation rates, and their by-products are environmentally safe. Further, David et al [20] reported that reactive dyes containing monofluorotriazine groups could be effectively fixed on cellulose fibers when boiled under neutral conditions.…”

Three reactive dyes, with bisbenzimidazole as the chromophore and bischlorotriazine as the active group, were synthesized and characterized. The photophysical properties of the dyes were discerned by UV‐vis absorption, emission, and density functional theory calculations. All the dyes exhibited two absorption bands in the UV‐vis region. The main band at 270 nm was attributed to the intramolecular π‐π* transition, whereas the absorption at 360 nm was assigned to the π‐π* mixed intramolecular charge transfer transitions. As the planarity of the benzimidazole components was enhanced, the energy gap of these dyes decreased, which caused a redshift. The relationship between the structure and dyeing properties of the dyes was also studied from the perspective of dyeing depth and fastness. The results showed that these dyes can be dyed on silk effectively, the dyeing depths were in the range of 0.08∼35 under salt‐free conditions and the dry/wet rubbing fastness of these dyes could reach grades 4–5. In summary, these reactive dyes could be potential dyes for salt‐free dyeing applications.

“…The link between ink components and inkjet printing properties has been the subject of numerous studies. The results indicate that designing printing ink with consideration of the solubility parameters of reagents and HLB values of surfactants, and regulating the viscosity and surface tension of ink, can result in excellent printing quality [ 14 ]. In addition, adding water-borne polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) to the ink can reduce the aggregation of dye molecules and result in an ink with more stable ejection and a higher application performance [ 15 ].…”

Dye-containing wastewater discharge from the textile industry poses a serious pollution hazard that can be overcome by eliminating the washing step following the dyeing process. To study the washing-free printing of disperse dye ink, a number of water-borne polymers were selected and added to the ink, and the properties of the inks were discussed. By optimizing the ink formulation, printed fabrics with high color strength and color fastness were produced. The effects of the addition of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and polyethylene glycol (PEG) on the ink jetting performance and printing performance were intensively investigated. The migration–diffusion–fixation behavior of disperse dyes in inks on the polyester fiber was explored. The disperse dye ink with 0.075 wt.% PVA exhibited the strongest migration–diffusion effect. The PVA ink exhibited excellent jetting performance and printing color fastness, and the printing color strength was better than that of the PVP and PEG ink. The addition of PVA increased the difference between the solubility parameter of the disperse dyes and ink system, which improved the migration of disperse dyes from the ink system to the polyester fabric. Meanwhile, PVA could form a protective layer on printed fabrics because of its excellent film-forming properties at room temperature. The washing-free inkjet printing method developed in this study provides a theoretical basis for screening water-borne polymers and an environmentally friendly pathway for the printing of textiles.
