Ink particles penetrate deep into fibers, with characteristics resistant to fading even after repeated washing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Application to Recycled Fibers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conventionally, dye fixation has been difficult for recycled fibers. However, SUMI dyeing achieves beautiful color development even on recycled polyester due to the characteristic of ink microparticles physically adhering to fibers. This supports the quality of KINUITO products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-467c8fe5371cc195112555e1ab99f04d\" style=\"color:#2b5e2c\">Tour Content<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>10:00-11:30 (Session 1) \/ 14:00-15:30 (Session 2)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>SUMI dyeing demonstration (approximately 40 minutes)<br>Demonstration and explanation by craftsmen.
