What Are The Characteristics Of Printed Fabrics

What are the characteristics of printed fabrics? The advantages and disadvantages of printed fabrics; printed fabrics are one of the more distinctive among many fabrics. They can be seen in home textiles in the production of clothing. What are the characteristics of printed fabrics? ?

The characteristics of printed fabrics are different according to different raw materials.

1: Using polyester FDY bright 50D * DTY75D + spandex 40D as the raw material printed fabric, woven with satin weave on the jet loom, the fabric has light, soft, elastic, comfortable, gloss and other characteristics.

2: Printed fabric made of polyester low-elastic silk. The structure of the fabric is satin and plain weave. The fabric is interwoven on an air-jet loom. The grey fabric is then treated with desizing, pre-shrinking, and softening. , Soft and smooth feel.

Printed fabric types

Transfer printing

First, the pigment is printed on the paper by a printing method to make a transfer printing paper, and then the color is transferred to the fabric by high temperature (heating and pressing on the paper back). It is generally used in chemical fiber fabrics. The pattern is realistic and artistic, but the process is currently only applicable to a few synthetic fibers such as polyester.

The transfer printing process is simple, the investment is small, and the production is flexible. It is currently more popular in the market ... But to be honest, the transfer printing is compared with other printing types. The price is a bit higher, but it has a certain level.

2. Discharge printing

(English: wash out colors) (discharge) discharge print (discharge printing) using dyes that are not resistant to the discharge agent to dye the ground color, after drying, use the discharge agent or discharge dye-resistant color dye printing paste During printing and post-processing, the ground color dye at the printing place is destroyed and decolorized, forming a white pattern on the color ground or a color pattern formed by dyeing of a flower color dye. Also known as pull white or color pull. Can it be as if the clothes have been washed? The color of the clothes seems to have been washed off a lot, and it is mottled ~~ In fact, this is a printing. The principle of printing is to pull out the color of the fabric tissue fiber to make it a lighter color. , Strongly like the washing effect, it is a cooler printing for men's clothing!

3. Reduced printing

This process uses the difference in chemical resistance of different fibers in interwoven or blended fabrics, and applies a drawing agent to remove one of the fibers locally in the fabric by a printing method, leaving the other fibers to form a translucent pattern. Also known as burn-out printing or rotten printing.

4. Shrinked printing

The printing method is used to locally apply chemicals that can cause the fibers to swell or shrink, and through proper treatment, the printed and non-printed fibers will have a difference in swelling or shrinkage, so as to obtain products with regular uneven patterns on the surface. For example, cotton printed seersucker using caustic soda as bulking agent. Also called bump printing.

5.Flat screen printing

The printing mold is a polyester or nylon screen (flower version) that is fixed on a square frame and has a hollow pattern. The pattern part of the flower plate can pass through the color paste, and the non-pattern part is closed with a polymer film layer. During printing, the flower plate is pressed against the fabric, and the flower plate is filled with color paste, which is scraped back and forth with a scraper to make the color paste penetrate the pattern and reach the surface of the fabric. Flat screen printing has low production efficiency, but has wide adaptability, flexible application, and is suitable for small batch and multi-variety production.

6. Rotary screen printing

The printing mold is a cylindrical nickel skin screen with a hollow pattern, which is installed above the rubber guide belt running in a certain order and can rotate synchronously with the guide belt. During printing, the color paste enters the screen and is stored on the bottom of the screen. When the circular screen rotates with the guide belt, the scraper pressing on the bottom of the screen and the flower screen are relatively scraped.

Rotary screen printing is continuous processing, high production efficiency, and has the advantages of roller and flat screen printing, but there are still some limitations in the fineness of the pattern and the printing color. Remember: the color selection of the circular screen printing has certain limitations.
