This research involved the examination of pigment-based and disperse dye-based inksets applied to polyester fabric by textile inkjet printing. Colorimetric data were recorded for each color, as well as the mixed colors generated through RIPMaster V11 software. Color Table (CTB) profiles
were created to compare spot colors and International color consortium (ICC) profiles were created to evaluate color gamut volumes. Four-color and seven-color disperse inksets were compared, while six-color and eight-color pigment inksets were compared. As expected, the additional colors increased
color gamuts significantly. It was also found that the disperse dye-based inkset provided deeper color shades, and excellent wet and dry crock fastness properties. However, the light fastness for disperse dye-based inksets was not as good as the levels obtained using pigment-based inksets.
