He was 2009\u2019s joint winner of the Henry E. Millson Award for Invention, for the development of the first commercially available inkjet printer for textile fabrics, in the late 1980s and early \u201890s. The award is presented annually by the American Association of Textile Chemists &amp; Colorists (AATCC).<\/p>\n<p>Provost directed the team at ICI that developed the reactive-dye colorant formulations and textile pretreatments for the first commercially available textile-inkjet system. During the 1990s, Provost also was active in a number of European-funded research projects (EU Brite Projects) with Stork BV and other European partners, which further developed the technology.<\/p>\n<p>Later, he was involved in the development and co-ordination of inkjet-ink and media solutions with the major print-head manufacturers, system integrators and machinery manufacturers, developing industrial digital-printing solutions and, in particular, textile-inkjet print systems. He also worked on digital textile inks at BASF.<\/p>\n<p>Provost has written more than 70 papers on colour physics, coloration, and both conventional and digital textile printing, and holds six patents in inkjet printing. He is a Fellow of the Society of Dyers and Colourists (FSDC) and was awarded its silver medal for developments in the textile-printing industry, in 1996.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Provost is an independent digital textile printing consultant and technical editor of Digital Textile magazine.
