The fabric print medium can comprise a primer layer applied to the fabric substrate, an ink-fixing layer applied to the primer layer, and an ink-receiving layer applied to the ink-fixing layer. The primer layer can include a first film-forming polymer and a fabric softening agent. The ink-fixing layer can comprise a second film-forming polymer and a cationic compound. The ink-receiving layer can comprise a third film-forming polymer and non-deformable particles. One or more of the primer layer, the ink-fixing layer, and the ink-receiving layer also further comprise a flame inhibitor. In one example, all of these three layers include the flame inhibitor.

A fabric print medium includes a fabric base substrate and two treatment compositions that are applied thereon. The first treatment composition includes, at least, film-forming polymeric compounds, and a water-soluble high-valence metal complex. The second treatment composition includes, at least, a polymeric network, poly-alkene polymeric compounds, a water-soluble high-valence metal complex and a flame retardant agent. Also disclosed herein is a method for obtaining the fabric print medium.
