An Overview of Printing Textile Techniques

Abstract

Textile printing is the process of applying ink to textile surfaces using specialized printing processes and machines. The most direct printing techniques used are discussed. Block printing is one of the ancient art forms in India that has been passed down through generations. Flat and rotary screen printing which are capable of extremely high rates of production due to their adaptability. Burn out printing which gives us distinguished designs and Digital printing which is one of the most exciting advances in the manufacturing and textile sectors. Indirect printing such as resist printing and discharge printing which attracts attention as its pattern appear with diverse colours on a dark background. The variety of designs that can be created using the discharge printing technique polluted the environment due to the toxic reducing and oxidizing agent used so they have been substituted with eco-friendly enzymes.

Plasma Technique for Modification of The Natural Thickener to Improvie Textile Printing Performance

“…Discharge printing relies on first dying the fabric and then printing it with chemicals that will remove the colour from the intended places. [55][56][57] .…”

“…Only the areas not covered by the resist paste will be impacted by the dye, creating a pattern on a coloured background. Chemical (those that use glyoxal-bisulfite adducts or stannous chloride) and physical (those that use wax to prevent the fibre from being dyed) are the two categories of resist styles [56][57][58] Each of these printing styles is utilized on one or more of the below-listed application approaches.…”

Various Printing Techniques of Intelligent Lyocell Fabric to Enhancing its Performance Properties

“…Direct, discharge, and resist printing are the three types of printing. [28][29][30][31][32][33][34] Direct printing involves printing colored pastes directly on the fabric. The fabric is first dyed with a background color for discharge printing, which is then removed by reagents, or reducing agents, conveyed in a print paste.…”

Overview of Discharge Printing Techniques on Denim Fabric

“…Color is applied in the form of a solution in dyeing, Printing, on the other hand, uses color in the printing process. [1][2][3][4] Jeans were originally advertised and sold as workwear, with a focus on durability and usefulness. When customers found and valued jeans as everyday wear, they became fashionable, and new techniques were created to improve and personalize denim items.…”

“…Even though Synthetic Indigo Dye has progressively overtaken Natural Indigo Dye, some disorganized producers prefer the latter and charge a premium by labeling their products "Natural Dye Used." (4 ) Woven and knitted denim fabric property 1) Knitted denim fabric show greater spirality compared to woven denim. 2) Good washing fastness for knitted fabric because reactive dye forms a covalent connection with the fiber rather than a coating like indigo dye in denim fabric, woven denim fabric dyed with indigo dye has moderate washing fastness compared to knitted denim.…”
