Textile printing substrate
A textile substrate is treated with a composition having a dye fixing agent and an ink receiving agent, for the subsequent printing with an ink jet printer. The dye fixing agent includes a reactive amino compound, and the ink receiving agent comprises inorganic particles. A resin binder can also be used where the dye fixing agent does not provide an adequate bond to the textile substrate.

inorganic particles, said inorganic particles having aluminum or alumina therein; and
wherein the dye fixing/receiving composition further comprises an antimicrobial agent.
