Zusammenfassung:In an example of a textile printing method, a thermally curable ink composition is applied on a fabric substrate. The thermally curable ink composition includes from about 1 wt % active to about 6 wt % active of a pigment that absorbs ultraviolet radiation, infrared radiation, or a combination thereof, based on a total weight of the thermally curable ink composition; from about 2 wt % active to about 20 wt % active of a polymeric binder, based on the total weight of the thermally curable ink composition; and an aqueous ink vehicle. In the method, the pigment of the thermally curable ink composition is selectively heated on the fabric substrate by exposing the fabric substrate to an emission wavelength from a narrow wavelength light source for a total exposure time of 3 seconds or less. The selective heating thermally fixes the pigment to the fabric substrate.
