A textile printing system includes an ink composition and a fabric substrate. The ink composition includes from 50 wt % to 95 wt % water, from 4 wt % to 49 wt % organic cosolvent, from 0.5 wt % to 12 wt % pigment with a dispersant associated with a surface thereof, and from 0.5 wt % to 20 wt % polyurethane-latex hybrid particles. The polyurethane-latex hybrid particles include a polyurethane shell having an acid number from 50 mg KOH/g to 110 mg KOH/g and a (meth)acrylic latex core having a glass transition temperature from −30° C. to 50° C. A weight ratio of polyurethane shell to (meth)acrylic latex core is from 1:19 to 3:7 in this example. |
