What are the types of printed fabrics?

    Printing can be divided into the following types:
    1. Transfer printing:
    Firstly, the pigment is printed on paper using printing methods to create transfer printing paper. Then, the color is transferred to the fabric through high temperature (heating and pressure on the back of the paper). It is generally used for synthetic fabrics, characterized by bright colors, delicate layers, realistic patterns, and strong artistic value. However, this process is currently only applicable to a few synthetic fibers such as polyester Transfer printing technology is simple, requires minimal investment, and has flexible production. It is currently popular in the market ..
    2. Discharge printing:
    Discharge printing uses dyes that are not resistant to discharge agents to dye the ground color. After drying, it is printed with colored dyes containing discharge agents or both. During post-processing, the ground color dye at the printed area is destroyed and faded, forming white patterns on the ground color or colored patterns formed by dyeing with colored dyes Also known as whitening or coloring.
    3. Wrinkle printing:
    Using printing methods to locally apply chemicals that can cause fiber expansion or contraction on fabrics, and through appropriate treatment, creating differences in expansion or contraction between printed and non printed fibers, thus obtaining products with regular concave convex patterns on the surface Pure cotton printed foam yarn using caustic soda as a puffing agent Also known as concave convex printing.

    4. Flat screen printing:
    The printing mold is a polyester or nylon screen (pattern) fixed on a square frame with hollow patterns The patterned areas on the pattern board can be penetrated by colorants, while the areas without patterns are closed with a polymer film layer to seal the mesh When printing, the pattern is tightly pressed onto the fabric, and the pattern is filled with color paste. A scraper is used to scrape and press back and forth, allowing the color paste to penetrate the pattern and reach the surface of the fabric Flat screen printing has low production efficiency, but it has wide adaptability and flexible application, suitable for small batch and multi variety production.
    5. Round screen printing:
    The printing mold is a cylindrical nickel skin screen with hollow patterns, installed in a certain order above the circulating rubber guide belt, and can rotate synchronously with the guide belt When printing, the ink is input into the mesh and stored at the bottom of the mesh. When the circular mesh rotates with the guide tape, the scraper tightly pressed against the mesh bottom and the flower mesh undergo relative scraping pressure. The ink passes through the patterns on the mesh and reaches the surface of the fabric Circular screen printing belongs to continuous processing, with high production efficiency and the advantages of both drum and flat screen printing. However, there are still certain limitations in terms of pattern refinement and printing color intensity Remember: Round screen printing has certain limitations in color selection.
