The inkjet technology used at KBC since 1990 is the most innovative textile printing method in the market. Similar to document printers in offices, an inkjet-printing machine prints on fabrics.

The desired design is read in via computer. After the printer has received all the data the printing process can start. While the fabric runs through the machine a print head passes across it. Through fine jets on the print head the colour is jetted onto the fabric. 9000 to 13 000 metres of fabric can be printed per day. Because of the fine jets it is possible to print the finest lines and the smallest details making pattern design virtually limitless.

Theoretically the pattern repeat can be endless and the colouration can access a colour atlas with about 2000 colours. In the inkjet printing department a distinction between two methods is made. The inkjet-reactive-method, which is applicable to cotton, viscose, linen and silk as well as to their blends and the inkjet-disperse-method, which has been used at KBC since 2010 and also allows printing on polyester.
